I just bought my first christmas present.

Which is a shame as I love giving gifts more than anything, I'm not really bothered about getting stuff myself.
Though, if I get a job then I can resume normal service as the best gift giver EVER.
Other than the usual World Peace/Love/Harmony/67 Blow Jobs for Christmas, I want a usb wireless music transmitter to play stuff onto my stereo from my laptop: http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/7953604/Sitecom-WL-060-USB-Wireless-Audio-Transmitter/Product.html
We've got a complicated Secret Santa spreadsheet for the first time so I shall be buying less(ish) presents.
I'm on a bus listening to celan, it's good but could be better.
My first Christmas pressie will be bought on Thursday, it's nice.
yeah, winter's alright. i'm looking forward to seeing my sister.
discovered today that my counsellor is a patronising idiot, not looking forward to going back. had a massive nap this afternoon.
i think i want an ipod touch for christmas. i expect some pyjamas or something. i have no idea what to get anyone. i want to get my best friend the best present ever, cos i realised at the weekend how much i love her. but i don't yet know what that present is.
Yeah I 'm getting jealous of hen's gig attendance. I can only afford Oxbow and no Hair Police. Bummmmmmmmmer
I always swear this will be my last christmas working in retail - but this year honestly has to be my last.
But year, presents, they're great. I'm trying to find my mum some earrings I think? Or a bag? But I can't go over £50 and I've not found the right thing yet.
Everyone else can like or lump whatever.
+ just imagine me correcting all the grammar errors :(
I'm off x
mine's in a bad situation at the moment too, so I'd like to do something nice/daft for her.
Have you been seeing that specific counsellor for a while?
That plays downloaded content onto my TV. This is for the stereo. I'm not sure I really need it though. What I really want is a PC to attach to the back of my telly. You can get them pretty cheap now but they're not quite good enough.
Oh, and I'd also like a pizza stone.
She's pretty much the only person I buy for aside from a few friends so AREN'T I ORGANISED?
I don't rly care about presents. I might get a few books. But I don't want loads spent on me.
I get more and more stuck with people each year I think. I asked mum if she wanted a drawing amongst other things but shes like "oh draw me something nice." "what?" "I don't know...trees are nice". Great help.
Christmas in retail is hell, right?
is the pc/tele thing just so you can have a massive screen?
I'm just throwing a hissy fit because i'm been told I've got to wake up even earlier, (I wake up 5.30 or earlier every day anyway)
Mums don't mind what they're given! thats probably why you always want to give them the nicest thing.
I think I'm scarred from working in Accessorize for a few yrs and hating wrapping everyfuckingthinginsight. Why on earth are you up at 5:30?!
hats, scarves, gloves, love all that shit.
Oh, and waking up under a warm duvet in a cold room and getting into a hot shower in the morning. Awesome.
Owning your own books is something Donald Trump type characters do.
I'll get an apple and a satsuma AND LIKE IT

we have 17 tills, I have to switch around the tills I want to reconcile and issue floats to the others before the store opens. My manager also has an irritating habit of expecting me to know every detail of everything when it isn't even 8am yet... And I like to be fairly sorted by the time the till operators start calling me up and nagging me about shit on the internal line...
EXCITING.
I guess its not as bad for me because I'm not on the shop floor very often.
Yes and no with the screen - saves you having to bother with a desktop/screen. This is what I mean:

I'd like a little bit better spec for the same price so going to wait 6 months or so.
ALSO I tend to read everything loads and loads of times over. And I like to read in the bath. But mainly I just like looking clever by having lots of books.
Shiiiiit. Not easy to explain all thr crinkly pages to the librarian.
i'd really like to get a yak for tibet http://www.tibet-foundation.org/aid/att/11133.php for christmas, other than that i'm pretty solid at the moment, maybe some nice bedsheets and things i can decorate a home with as well. i'm so excited about winter! mittens and hats and tights and being warm inside!!
PUTTING THE BOOK IN A PLASTIC BAG, ON THE RADIATOR THEN IN THE FRIDGE DOES NOTHING. NOTH-ING.
I have so many stolen libary books. I used to forget to take them back, lose them and then get my mam would ring up defending my case, saying I HAD RETURNED THEM REALLY. I never told her when I found them down the side of my bed.
well I'll be in the country if that's what you mean. Midmay is my birthday so god knows what I'll be doing. But yes I'd like to come and be confused at football whilst eating pizza and drinking beer.
you DO? how about crazy? You do!? well then have i the blog for you!

i have another exam tomorrow. wish me luck. that can be your christmas present to me.
Are you spying on me knowing that I only have b&w photos on my walls?? What's the exam? (and yes of course good luck)
only because summer got a bit tiresome, y'know. Had a 16 week exam leave, and was too pathetic to get a job, so school+winter are actually quite welcome.
My dad currently has swine flu though! I'm worried i'm gonna get all lurgy-like soon.
you want a job? i am a spymaster now. scool, i guess.
shakespeare :( a critical commentary on an extract from ONE of THREE plays. gaygaygay.
hows france going btw?
France is going really well atm, am feeling much more at home, however I've now hit the halfway point. Another 4 months and then I decide what the hell to do with myself for 6 months before uni starts up again!
she's a trainee, i thought it'd be ok to have one, but she makes me feel worse than usual.
best friends are the best.
Winter is ok unless you get panic attacks like I do and then you have to go outside but it's really cold and you don't actually want to be outside so there isn't a good solution really.
Best thing about winter is being ill but not like really ill. Ill enough to not go to work and spend the day in a semi-conscious dream state, lovely.
I'm currently writing a critique on this photograph for a seminar tomorrow... http://straightphotography.ifrance.com/assets/images/winogrand/winogrand_utah.jpg
I'm not too good at this sort of thing...
As for christmas, I'm hoping to get some money towards a trip to Berlin in February...
