Well, Christmas day rolled around and I was tearing into the presents like a bitch looking for salami, but to no avail. No computer. Plenty of clothes, though.
My parents (clever couple that they were) acted as if the unwrapping was finished. Just as they soaked in my glare of disappointment, my mom slipped off to another room and brought back a large box, wrapped, with my name on it!
My stomach fluttered, my heart vibrated. I decimated that box in no time flat.
It was a word processor. A keyboard and monitor that could do nothing but process words.
Biggest fuckin' let-down ever.

i had a deal like that ..christ u just made me think of one of my shittiest memories for the 1st time in years ..
I'd been asking for a record player for years ... i went snooping (as i always did) and found a record player hidden away with the presents .. my folks always hid the shit in the same place.
So i was happy .. and i wasnt happy a lot in those days ... i couldnt wait to get it all set up in my room so i could listen to my music without being bothered by anyone.
So xmas comes ... and i see the big box all wrapped ... and its to my sister and me. She never once asked for one or showed any interest in music .. but now i had to put the fucking thing in the rec room instead of my room .. so i never used the goddamn thing.
Assholes ..
well, there goes my xmas again this year ... i think i'll just go and hang myself now.
