College acceptance letter, new guitar, clothes? maybe an artist pen and sketchbook. And whatever CD's I get, I love music.

I dunno, I'm pretty low maintenance.

I'm Jewish, so it would be things on my Hanukkah/birthday (they fall at the same time) list, but...
- DSLR Camera (I am on yearbook and it would be so useful to have a camera that is not a point-and-shoot)
- Think Geek gift-card/almost anything from them (though I really want the "Hello Schrody" shirt and giant microbes)
- A tragus piercing
- Random books (I have a rather random list of books that I want)
- Sherlock on DVD

So yeah, my list is the most eclectic thing, but those are basically the things I want...

-iPod, or iPhone 5 (wishful thinking, but that's what christmas is for!)
-video camera (my family is in desperate need of a new one. my dad's computer was the only one that could connect to our old one but it got stolen...)
-gift card to Amazon.com (more than $25 so i can get free shipping!!)

I'll probably think of more absurdly expensive things later. Nothing for college yet since I am still a junior.

A Columbia ED acceptance. That's all I'd really need. Though a pass on my road test and an alienware would be nice.

Have a nice day

I've discussed this with my mom, and I told her that I don't want her to get me anything. We struggle enough financially as is... I want to get a guitar by Christmas, but I'll work a few odd jobs between now and then to earn the money (I have ~$200 saved up, but relatives keep burning it up without paying me back, haha).
