Ok, I'm Back And Do I Have A Story For You! Oh... I guess I don't! But Oh well!! Haha anyway. Only a Short time until Christmas break. Ah Christmas... A time for giving, and food, family, and... Shopping... Ah the dreaded shopping for the people whom you probably see only once a year... this being that time. What to get them? Will they like it? Will it fit? Do they already have one? Do you even care? Depending on who it is... Probably not. And then there's buying for those close to you. Oh Gosh. What if you do get something the wont fit... You probably should know if its close, if you see them alot. Or... not? Either way... if it doesn't fit... it doesn't fit. Then there are the people that will buy you something and say: "If it doesnt fit/ If you don't like it you can take it back..." Great... give me an errand to run... You want me to pick up your dry cleaning while I'm out? Naw that's ok, I'll just throw it in my closet for a few months... So yea, Then... and this has got to be the most dreadful by far. Shopping for your significant other... You know, that Boyfriend/Girlfriend... You could do one of 3 things. 1. Get each other gifts... and risk them not liking it... for this there are four ways to go A. Practical- Somehting they can use... that would somehow work its way their everyday lives... B. Funny?- Something that they'll open and get a kick out of... But that may not be to apropriate... C. Romantic- Something they'll really like. Diamonds? Flowers? Well, Not all girls like that thank you.... (Or is that just me?) D. Sexy- Haha, well, there is the ever popular lingerie or something. A perfume? Colonge? Hmm... 2. Decide to not get each other gifts. But then, one of two things happens. A. You dont get her something... and then she gets you something... and then you're an asshole. B. You get her something and she doesnt get you anything and gets mad because she thought you "Agreed not to exchange gifts"... So that's not the best method. (Unless like... you both like don't get each other gifts...) 3. Or... Explain that you're not a good at giving gifts and hope that they understand... Ahh, Anyway... I think that is about it... Or... Is it? Well I know I could expand a bit more on this subject... But I'll leave that for another day. Please feel free to voice your opinions on this subject. Kayla |
