So the holiday season is upon us once again, and as I stand on my feet for 8 to 12 hours a day, bagging up the Christmas wishes of my customers, I found myself doing a little wishing of my own.

My desires vary, from the materialistic to the intangible. But they all have one thing in common: I doubt I'm getting any of them.

What I want: An iPod touch (any size). It's not because they're "what's cool" or because it has a brand name. It's because I've always been an avid media fan (especially music), and the 1GB Sansa Clip I own isn't nearly large enough to hold the +20gb of music I own.

Why I won't get it: I just moved out on my own for the first time, and barely have enough money on hand to pay for gas half the time. A +200 dollar media player isn't in my budget, and I highly doubt it's in anyone else's either.

What I want: An HP Compaq TC1100, which is a tablet PC. Zig has one, and the moment I saw it, I was in love. It would help me edit my photos better, and finally allow me to try digital drawing.

Why I won't get it: Not only are the moths flying out of my wallet laughing, it's an old discontinued model you can't buy in a store. And quite frankly, I don't trust eBay worth two turds.

What I want: For DPT to meet for Christmas. We don't talk as often, especially since I moved out of my folks' house, and not all of us have met in person.

Why I won't get it: Raven and I live close by, but Ronja lives in another county, and Wolfe lives clear across the country. Either way, they all have families to spend it with, and even if such was not the case, I for one do not own a private jet and can't teleport, so that's shot.

What I want: To meet Kinky, and have him for one night, all to myself. ...He's quite an interesting fellow.

Why I won't get it: Other than the fact that he lives too far, I don't think my boyfriend would like that idea...

What I want: To be kissed underneath the mistletoe on Christmas morning.

Why I won't get it: Because I have no fucking idea where to get mistletoe.
