I Have No Idea.

Anyone got any tips for me?
Alredy put Fallout 3 Collectors Edition and a scanner on the list.
What more should I want to wish for?

hey, that sounds good already!

If you can't think of anything else you want to wish for, then that's a good sign you DON'T NEED any more. It's not a bad thing...roll with it.

things you know you're gonna need, like booze and sketchbooks.

If you can't think of anything more then you really don't need or want anything more. Unless you want to ask for self awareness, perspective and wisdom.

Maybe you should ask people to give charity gifts, like ones offered by organisations like Amnesty, Medicien Sans Frontiers and Oxfam?

I'd like an end to our financial nightmare, a return to regulation, peace in the Congo and elsewhere, an end to religious extremism...

Oh yeah, and I'm really hoping they bring out a 4th season box of the Muppets on DVD for my son. We've watched the first three and the films to death now.

For my whole family to go the whole Christmas period without killing each other would be nice. Oh, and peace to all mankind, obviously!

(....and more comic and art books.........)

Well maybe I don't need anything more, I have sketchbooks and boozing is still illegal.
Oh, a 1 year subscription of the CA magazine (computerArts, not ConceptArt) would be nice, but other than that I don't really need anything.

A new computer is unecessary, mine is sufficient.
A laptop would be nice, but it's not really something I have a crave or would buy myself if I had the money.

I guess money isn't happiness after all...

I buy all the things I need/want. :P And I'm one person who LOVES getting gifts!!

Hey though, if you're into some traditional media, or DVDs to store your precious digital stuff on, those could be great gifts! ...Maybe I'll ask for some of those. :3

DVD's gotta be the stupidest way of backing up your data.
The lifetime of a DVD is unaccaptable short.

I should make binary heiroglyphs, that'll last a while.
Hmm, CA should compile their DVD set into a set or something.
With a better price, I'd buy it!

Eh, the less stuff you have, the more exciting and precious those things are!

When I can't find anything specific to wish for, I always wish for supplies. Canvas, sketchbooks, paint, etc. Or giftcards to art supply and book stores. :P

Be glad that there's nothing you can really think of :)

I've already gotten some Christmas gifts.... parts of the family has gone together to buy us new bathroom inventory, and it's currently in the process of being set up so it's all ready before the baby comes.

There's a difference in what I *need* and what I'd like to wish for this year, but at a guess, we'll get all babystuff and probably just things we'll need now in the beginning of becoming a larger family, none of those "I didn't know what to get you, so I bought this ugly thing" :P Which will help us immensly :)

Thank goodness though, my family has a tradition of trying to give useful gifts. If it's something big that's needed, several puts cash together. :) There will always be the cheap silly and funny gifts as well though :P

I only wish to be with my love for Christmas...honestly , I have everything else I need and I can afford new stuff on my own if I really wanted to.

In my opinion the thought counts more than the present itself...It is a sign of love and friendship.

Diphallia
November 19th, 2008, 08:12 AM
Yeah, Supplies is always a good wish.
It just feels so empty now.
I don't get excited of gifts anymore! :(

Guess I should seek a therapist, not an art forum. hahaha! :D

A day without a family crisis. Without news that something lousy has happened to someone I care about.

Sigh.

I DO need a hardware calibrator.
But they're so expensive, would be better if I could borrow one.
Damnit.

I wish an advanced race of aliens would destroy this planet, save a small amount of the population(my family included, of course) and drop us off on another rock with our most up to date tech. so we can get a head start on screwing up another world.

I don't wish anything for Christmas. Maybe just to spend great time with everyone.

My mother is from Poland!

But I don't have any needs, really.

Rebel Without a Crew is a fun book, just don't take the hype at face value. There was a LOT of money spent in post to get the movie that you see(just spent by the studio rather than Rodriguez).
