I've Been Good This Year...

If we redefine what "good" means...

I'm not the kind of person who tries to ask for a lot of superficial Christmas gifts, and honestly even when I try and convince my parents not to buy me things and just donate to charity in my name... they just do both.

This year my mom doesn't want me to fight with her over gifts, so I'm just making this now to say I was well behaved and did it.

1) LED Binary Watch

This is my expensive gift of the year, and is also probably the least likely one I'll get. I still like to include something a little bit more expensive and geeky each year in hopes I'll get it. It took me 3 years to get a PSP, I figure I can break them in 2 with this.

2) Metalocalypse: Season One DVD

I know some people will have eye rolled at this, but really...it's a 14 dollar TV series on DVD, the episodes are barely 10 minutes a piece so blasting through two seasons can be done in less than a day, two days if you actually sleep. I think I'd ask for Season Two, too...just because after Christmas I get my surgery and I'll be bored a lot.

3) Killswitch Engage: Killswitch Engage (2009)

I'll probably just settle for the regular one disc album, but a guy can dream can't he? I love these guys and I lost a lot of their CDs through damage as a teen, loss on the move to college, and then out of general disrespect for the music industry I just download everything. Still from time to time I feel like buying a CD helps even the scales again.

4) Heavy Metal Shirt

I think this is something really fitting for me, geeky, funny, accurate...it's the kind of shirt I could see chuckling at for days too and my mom has always said my shirts are a good topic of conversation and I'd like to keep up that tradition.

5) Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen DVD



As it has been established, I am a geek...I like geeky things, and this movie was an explosive geekgasm, and not even at a credit to Megan Fox but due to the sheer cheesy awesome of a cartoon being adapted into badass explosions and robot cars!




My mom will probably be disappointed that I haven't listed more so I'll have to get back to this, honestly...I spend my whole life never getting what I want and now they want to give me too much =P

  2. OMG, my son Michael would love the binary watch! He's very curious, and I'm raising him to be a proper geek, so he already knows all about stuff like binary and hexadecimal and how it relates to computers.

No worries, we've sorted out the tricky mess of robots tracking the IPs of commenters, hunting them down, and attacking them, so feel free to comment with reckless abandon...hopefully
