Dear Santa,

For Christmas, I would like world peace.

(coughrollseyescough)

As cool as that would be, howsabouts I set my eyes on REALISTIC and ATTAINABLE Christmas gifts?

1:) iPod. It doesn't have to be an actual iPod. Actually, I think I'd probably prefer it to not be one. Just a generic MP3 player would be fine. I'd also like an earphone. Not earphoneS mind. Just one bud for one ear, leaving the other one free to hear real things and real people. That's just a bonus though, I don't even know if "they" make things like that.

2:) USB Flash Drive. Also known as Jump Drives. 1Gig is fine.

3:) Computer Bag/Messenger Bag. Sort of a dual purpose bag. I noticed Dad's computer bag has one compartment for the computer, but a smaller one one the front for peripherals. Just keep both slots the same size, it should work fine.

4:) Crucifix. That's a crucifix, not cross. The crucifix is the one with the corpus on it. I'd like somewhere between 1 and 2 inches tall. Silver, not gold. (actually, that should probably be more like, "steel, not brass..") Both together is fine. Actually, that would probably be cooler, just more expensive.

5:) MechWarrior Miniatures. If the guy at the store what you want, mention "Dark Age," "Age of Destruction," "Wizkids," or, "Clix."

6:) New Slippers. I've had my current ones for several years, and they are quite literally falling apart. I don't have a right big-toe on it. They're also plaid. Not that their's anything terribly wrong with it mind, just, not as desirable as basic black (or dark grey, green or blue.)

7:) Typing Gloves. These are gloves with an inch or two of fabric missing from the fingertips. I don't want just cheep gloves with the fingers cut off, I already have those. Infact, I'm wearing them right now. However, the ends are fraying. This means I cannot wash them, and they will destroy themselves in a few months. I'd like something black, clean, WASHABLE, and has no thumbs AS WELL AS no fingers.

8:) Undergarments. Shirts and pants. I have only one pair of long-johns, mediums, 32-34, fits fine. Now, I don't want underwear SHIRTS see, but warm, tight, longsleeved shirts. I know Matt (brother-in-law) has a few of the type I have in mind. (unless they're $50 a pop) I'm also about Matt's size. Just talk to him for info. (or steal his shirts)

9:) A Hat. Trilby or Fedora, preferably trilby. Matches my coat, the snazzy one. I don't want the hat to be too small mind. My head is 23.5 inches around. Don't know how that translates into hat sizes, but a little bigger is better than a little smaller.

Now, I don't expect you to get me all of these, but if you, the Easter Rabbit, and the Great Pumpkin, all go together, I might get a few. Just be sure you communicate with each other about what your getting me. I'd rather prefer you didn't all get me slippers. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Paul
