Gift giving.
Yes another blog on gift giving. I am the type of person who knows what she wants and that’s that. I want a computer. I get the “hand me down” since what I will use it for, manga and anime, would make my boyfriend cry if I got the new one. He’s a gamer and I’m not anymore. Been there, done that and I suck at PvP. I find it very amusing and funny, but I really suck at it since I find it even more amusing to die. This is also why he quit playing StarCraft with me. I would build hords of humans (the race I played the worse) and send them over in small groups to hear their screams as I laughed. He could see the difference between his computer and the one we want to get, something about duel core processor, Sata Seasomething hard drive, some fancy motherboard blah blah blah. (I do try to pay attention, but it’s just so boring so after 2 months I forget most of what he tells me.) After the computer I want a new chair. After the chair I want more clothes. After the clothes I want some more shoes. By the time that happens I’ll want a larger hard drive because it doesn’t take me long to fill up 800 GB. (Give me a month and I’ll have to start looking for what I want to delete. It’s also the reason why my cubical looks like a mini mart. XD ) The house is at the top of the list, but something we can’t just save up our pennies for and buy with cash. :)
Well the other day a couple of his co-workers, women of course, asked him what he’s going to get me. Before he could reply they said, “You better not say nothing.” He replied nothing. They said he was a horrible husband. He pointed out he wasn’t a husband yet. XD I feel bad for him. I love the small gifts he gives me. When he was buying his mom a Christmas gift he saw a candle I would like and bought it for me. It smells like those cinnamon candy hearts my dad used to buy for me every Valentine’s Day so it brings back very nice memories when I use it. So there’s my poor boyfriend being badgered and told he’s horrible for not getting me anything. He tried to explain I don’t want anything, but they just couldn’t believe that. Everyone wants something. Sure there are things on my list I want that he could get me, but they are lower on my list so nope...don’t want them right now. I can wait. If it’s anything else why bother? Now of course my mom will get me stuff and everything, but she’s not using our money for it so it’s different. He would be spending our money to buy me gifts and things that are on the lower rung on my “want” list.
Yeah I’m one of “those” kinds of people. I feel this way about everything though. I met a lot of great guys when I was single, but they all wanted kids or didn’t give me a definite no answer so I moved on. Why waste and invest time on people and a relationship when in the end I’d have to leave them? Why settle for someone who doesn’t fit me perfectly? That’s settling for less hoping it will work out the way you want. That’s not my style or frame of mind. (I do compromise with my boyfriend, but rarely do we have to since we work fit very well together.) His co-workers also couldn’t believe I didn’t want kids...except the people in the IT dept. XD
No kids?! *shock* Ah, it's your decision. And I respect that. *nod nod* ^-^
Heeheehee! It seems to be lots of fun to do that to the bfs, fiances, dates, etc..."You're a terrible hubby/where are my grandkids/so when's the wedding?" XD Hilarious. The looks on their faces...priceless.

Merry Christmas! No kids? cool.. kids are annoying at times. Save you the headache when they turn rebelious and what nots.. Well, the perfect christmas present for you is to have your boyfriend by your side everyday, compromising, listening and stuff, right? What else would be better? Hehe.. *hugs*
