It's done in spirit of the season. It's supposed to be about giving, and I would be giving up material items so that the rest of my family can be more at ease with the economy's pressing down on my family's head.

But... Presents! *CMTP*

What is Tensa?

Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:24 pm

Tensa is the person who said hello, prompting you to say hi.

I don't understand this acronym.

Not my concern.
My family can barely scrape through some months, so I'd like to have that extra money around so we can better endure those months.

No, It's more my fault. I let TVTropes slip into my vocabulary.

Leafolawl · Post by **Leafolawl** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:38 pm

I'm still learning how to speak trope, so feel free to bring any tropes you feel are relevant or funny up when talking with me.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:22 pm

I've never seen that one acronymized (acronymmed? acronymated?), so it threw me off too.

Ooh, since we were talking about tablets a page ago or whenever, I pose a question to the world-
I've been saving up money for a while, ideally to go towards a tablet- originally I just figured I'd get some kind of Bamboo, but then I realized Cintiqs existed and thought it might be better to be patient, save up more, and go for one of those instead. So, my plan has been to spring for a 12wx on my birthday, when I can convince other people to cover part of the cost.

Anyways, irrelevance aside, my question is this- are 12wx's worth the money at this point? From what I've read, it's quickly becoming outdated and its precision is showing signs of age. On the other hand, I've seen a number of other people that are still real happy with them, and they're some thousand dollars removed from the 21ux.

So, smart people, tell me things because I want to know which expensive flat thing to buy.

Arghhhhhhh
I don't know what to get my mom
my dad and sister are ridiculously easy to shop for, my mom, not so much.....

ah well, I'm going christmas shopping with a few friends when I go home for break, so I should find something,

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 2:42 am

I have so few presents to buy this year. :/

Wed Dec 07, 2011 2:45 am

from what I understand, until I graduate, I'm included on the card on the gifts my parents buy.

Tattorack · Post by **Tattorack** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:34 am

The only gifts I can send are drawings...

Lobo09 · Post by **Lobo09** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:19 pm

I have to buy two gift to my girlfriend... One for two months and other for xmas

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:27 pm

I dunno if 2 months is all to much to celebrate, but awrighty. ^^;
I only need to get gifts for my relatives and that is it. Advantage of being friendless, huzzah!

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:44 pm

I've never really bought my friends gifts or expected gifts from them.
I work part time and make minimum wage, if you aren't immediate family you're not getting anything from me besides a "merry christmas *insert clever nickname*" text.
Maybe I'm just a terrible person

Your not. I'v only gotten one of my friends a Christmas gift before because he wouldn't accept the fact that I really didn't want him giving me something, so I ended up buying him a shirt and he gave me Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, but that's the only time. I honestly don't like asking for things for Christmas because sometimes I feel like I'm asking for to much, which is why I'm asking for 2 things this year. But I have noticed that almost every year I get a random gift, like one year I got a globe. No reason behind it, just a globe.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:37 pm

Please no one buy me anything! D: I have a no-gifts policy with my friends.

Kuro · Post by **Kuro** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:38 pm

I don't know you all too well, so does that mean I get to buy you things?

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:45 pm

No, it means you should get to know me better!

Kuro · Post by **Kuro** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:51 pm

And then I can buy you things? D:

Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:01 pm

no, then your his friend and you shouldn't buy her a gift.

Kuro · Post by **Kuro** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:09 pm

I'll find a loophole eventually.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:26 pm

Friendship is its own gift~

so it's more of a "no material gifts" policy.

Post by **Dissension** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:59 pm

I'm curious whether Sleet accepts magical gifts.

well he accepts friendship and friendship is magic so she accepts magic.

ManaWolf · Post by **ManaWolf** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:11 pm

So would she take Magic the Gathering Cards? I'm sure he'll like that.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:34 pm

I am quite sure Sleet would accept drawings. Or whatever you send him with his address. Would be rude if he didn't. ;3
Anywho, I kinda feel as though I have a history with forcing (virtual) gifts onto people.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:44 pm

Everyone get Sleet a car
And yes, I do mean one per person

Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:48 pm

That's a lot of cars. make the,\m all smart cars, they won't take as much room.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:52 pm

Sorry, I dunno Sleet all to well, so I really would not go to that extent. ^^;

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 8:04 pm

I'd give Sleet, a hug at most its not that she's not nice, but I like hugs.
