What's the #1 thing you want for xmas??

[CGM]

Not like a Ferrari or anything, but what's the number #1 thing that you want that there is a chance someone will get for you?

I'm not fussy this year because my girlfriend has bugger all money and i'm old enough now that parents don't really get me stuff..

But i'm hoping for a book Called "The Fountainhead" which is an old book written in like the 1950's about what the perfect guy would be like if they existed. It doesn't just like describe a guy, but presents a world and life circumstances where the qualities of a perfect man would be seen most clearly in contrast to all the flaws of most people... I've wanted this book for years and think I might get it this year..

And my second thing I want is "Resistance 2" for Playstation 3.... I'm dieing for God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5 but they aren't out yet, so Resistance 2 is the hot PS3 game on my shopping list for the moment...


Okay boys and girls, time to write down your top 1 or 2 things you want for Christmas and I might even have Saddo forward this thread onto Santa for you..



Oh, and for my Kris Kringle at work, I only wish to dear god and Santa that I don't get something as shit embarrassing as last year... Last year the limit was $10 to spend, but I spent $30 on all this awesome bath and girlie shit for this nice lady at work,,,, and I got what could only have been $3.. A toothbrush holder... A crap one.. like one of those travel ones in the shape of a toothbrush.. And a plastic thing for soap.... Fuck I was embarrassed.. Everyone else was like, wow what did you get to everyone else.. I hid mine and ran off... Part of me didn't want the person who bought mine to see how pissed off I was in case they felt bad, part of me wanted to throw the plastic pieces of crap in their face....




Okay second question then,,, what is the crappest thing you've got but were expected to smile about as to not hurt someone's feelings??

Dizaster, are you familiar with the book, and the ideas of it's author, at all? Ever read it? If you are then you know there is a bit of an asterisk beside the word perfect.

I read the preface by the author which she wrote went it was re-released where she was trying to explain why she wrote the book.. And I think I read maybe the first chapter or two online.... You've made it sound more interesting to me now so no spoilers please

OK, no spoilers. You can safely ignore my asterisk remark, in this case it's not really that relevant.

Ayn Rand is a philosopher as much as an author. Her stories have a message. Fountainhead is a great story that is not overpowered by message. You cannot say the same for some of her other books. "We the Living" is another of her stories I really enjoyed.

enjoy, let me know what you thought when you're done.
