what a shitty christmas...

[954runner 10+ year member]

my list to my mom included the following items:

entourage DVD seasons 1 and 2

LOST DVD seasons 1 and 2

zoolander DVD

Jim Cramer's books

some new jeans

a new sweatshirt

madden 2007 on xbox 360

ncaa march madness 2007 on xbox 360

subscription to ESPN.com's INsider

a pair of new shoes

and new subs/amps, because mine were stolen... unrealistic wish though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

not too overwhelming for a college kid, right?

of those, i got:

season 2 of Entourage... would have been completely pointless if i hadn't already seen season 1. luckily i have.

one of Jim Cramer's books

some jeans, which i don't think even fit.

a sweatshirt

madden 2007

i should have expected this. my mom never gets me anything, ever. i hope i don't sound greedy, but i put some thought into my gifts for my mom. and after we opened our presents, my mom said "well, its a small christmas, you guys really didn't ask for much"

i've gotten used to buying everything i want on my own, so i'll probably go buy the stuff i didn't get, then get an earful from my mom about how i'm spending my money unwisely.

i hate to say it but you do sound like a greedy bastard. were you guys short on money or did mom just slack on christmas shopping.

Do you live at home?

You said you were a college kid, but then you say you have to hear about your spending from your mom.

If you live at home, move out.

Otherwise, just ignore it, its your money.

no, i live on campus (200 miles away from home)

i'm about to unleash on my mom about my money situation. she makes it seem like in spending like crazy, which i'm not.

and yeah, my mom admitted to slacking on shopping, to some degree. my brother was asking my mom what i wanted for christmas, and she said i didn't want anything.
