As a kid, I usually began composing my Christmas list in September, immediately following my birthday. Four months = a list the size of Texas. It was at least three pages long, complete with comparison prices, sizes and colors, shipping quotes, and a complicated rating system using different colored inkpens and metallic sticky stars.
I was thorough.
But now, when someone asks what I want, I can't for the life of me come up with an answer! I've become one of Those People who is Very Hard To Shop For.***
I'm so sorry.
I really am.
I suck.
BUT, I found something, ONE thing, that I actually want. This t-shirt. Sadly, I believe this hat would complete the outfit.
I actually sort of want the hat, too. Scary.
***The subject/verb agreement in this sentence really bothers me. I mean, really REALLY.***
...strange. I want both of them too. I don't think I'd wear them together, but I prolly would wear them.

Posted by: Jeannette at November 27, 2004 10:54 AMHey, Shannon -- did you ever get that "box" thingy to work out? Let me know.
Posted by: Hugo at November 28, 2004 09:14 AMI did, Hugo- thanks a jillion.
Posted by: Shannon at November 28, 2004 04:57 PMI get what you mean about that sentence. You could put the word "one" in as the subject: "The Person for Whom One Has Difficulty Shopping" but then it turns from being cute to being pompous. Maybe you could call yourself a "Problem Recipient" and leave it at that.
I think I want that shirt, too. Not the hat. I'm dorky enough without adding hat-head to the equation.
