Ahoy. Haven't been around here in a while but I decided to stop by just to see what everyone wants for christmas(as well as some help looking for somet things ;) ). Always an interesting topic. Anyway, so I'm looking around for another sword set. I can't really seem to find a good one. I'm not quite sure where to look. So as I was combing through the vastness of the google search engine, I began to ponder of a board that might direct me to some good swords. Then it dawned on me that there's not better place than sw-fans =P. So I ask away: 1.) What do you want for christmas 2.) got any places that I can find a good sword set?

Hmmm...well, I know a place that's really great, but you likely don't live in Tennessee, do you? Other than that...nothing I know of right now, but I'll do a little online searching, see if I can come up with anything. :)

Well, since I'm getting a scanner (next week!! I'm so psyched!), and I'll need a new sketchpad long before Christmas gets here...I need Rurouni Kenshin manga #7. And PoP2, and Jak 3.

But, what I really want? A VW Minibus. I don't even want a nice-looking one--a bucket of bolts is just fine, since I want to paint and grafitti it myself, and have my friends all decorate it. Just so long as it runs. *sigh* Oh, well.

You've directed me to Smoky Mountain before, charley. Quality is good but selection is very limited. I like Swordsonline because its easy but they don't have very good quality swords.

Quite a collection of guns, how many do you have now? I want the new gas powered 3 1/2 shell browning shotgun for turkey =)

Currently? Four.

Springfield XD40

Marlin Model 1894 30-30

The Kel Tec P3At and the Yugo SKS will follow suit in the next two months.

Thank you! :) That's only a small fraction of the books I'd like, really, but I'd say those are the few that I really want - especially the final three from the Dark Tower series :D

I want a new alarm clock...really really badly.

And money so I can actually go on a vacation this spring/summer (to visit Fans people, of course. ^_^; )

*blush* Sorry, didn't know. Still, it's in Knoxville, across the state from you, and I don't know if it's quite what you're looking for.

Oh! All 5 books in the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy!

Big Fish on DVD

A Switchfoot CD (Can't remember the name)

Those are the top 3 I can remember off the top of my head. I asked for more, but don't remember what they were.

How can a Trilogy have five books? o_O

Add "replies to my christmas cards" to my list :lol

And time to complete the mountains of assignments I have due >_<

I can't really think of anything I particularly want, honestly - well, aside from a queensized bed and a desk I saw in Best Buy last weekend. But I see those as things I should be buying for myself anyways, not really as Christmas gifts :\

I am a very boring person, just FYI.

I don't think your boring. Maybe you just have too much! Give it all away to homeless people for christmas!

s'Il, I'm the same way. The only thing I could conceivably want is a sewing machine, and those aren't good Christmas presents..

My family has since called me a scrooge and told me that I'm getting crap anyway.

Yay! Someone like me! I'll send you a card for Christmas so you'll get something :)

As long as it's something my cats can't destroy; like they have everything else I own. Actually, I know something you could get me - my sunglasses that I forgot at your house ^_^;

And Charley is right - I don't have hardly anything. Nothing but sketchbooks, anatomy books, my computer & scanner, some swords, and my snowboard.

I'd like John Lithgow for Christmas dinner. But failing that, the entire boxed set of 3rd Rock From The Sun - 18 DVD's of fun, fun, fun!

Anything else is a bonus. There's not much I really 'want', though I could name loads of stuff I wouldn't mind getting.
