Well, it's almost that time of year again. The time where I go out of town for Christmas. However, things are going to be a bit different this year. Unlike past years when I've done this, I'm not going to my parents' house to spend the holiday with them. Instead, I'm going to Albuquerque to spend time with my sweetheart. Because of this, I'll be staying at a hotel in Albuquerque, which means I will have internet access while I'm gone. However, I won't be around all that much to use it in all likelihood, and there will be no new stories published (assuming I finish any while I'm away from home) until I actually get home.

I will be leaving a week from today and I'll be in Albuquerque until Saturday Afternoon (12/29). HOWEVER, when I do get back to Minnesota, I do not plan on going straight home since it'll be late when I get back and there's a Vikings game the next day. Therefore, I won't actually get home until New Year's Eve. Since I'll be staying at a hotel when I get back in town for a couple nights, I'll still have internet access, but like I said, I do not intend on uploading anything until I get back to my regular computer.

Anyway, with all that out of the way, let's get to the Top 10 list...

Top 10 List #29 (C-PRIME's Christmas Wish List)

This list contains the 10 items that I would most want to get for a Christmas present as of December 2012. It's possible that future incarnations of this list could change, but this is what I'd want if I could have anything I asked for.

10. A new MP3 player: Although my current MP3 player has served me well for the last 3 1/2 years, I feel it is about time for a replacement (and probably an upgrade to an Ipod).

9. A (lifesize) Tails plushie (new): I know I've seen 'em before and I've wanted one for years!

8. Adobe Flash/Shockwave (not the player, the thing to make flash videos and whatnot): This is another thing I've wanted ever since 2005, but has been too expensive for my budget.

7. Ca$h: To help me build a happier future.

6. A new DVD recorder: So I would be able to record my own gameplay footage and whatnot so I can use them for movies.

5. A new laptop computer (with a built-in wireless modem): Last year I learned an important lesson...don't buy a used netbook from a pawn shop. From the moment I bought the thing it was loaded with all sorts of useless shit and was as slow as molasses in January, although it having a built-in wireless modem helped out a bit. This time though, I would want something newer and faster, with the wireless modem built-in.

4. A Jowee plushie (at least huggable in size, and preferably with #2 along with it): Though I don't feel the same way about him as I do a certain rapogirl (see #2 on this list), I still like him enough to want and be able to hug him.

3. A digital camcorder (preferably with built-in memory): So I can record my own videos and whatnot...not much else to say about that.

2. A Mari plushie (preferably lifesize, but at least a huggable size): If you know me well enough, you'll know why this is on the list...'nuff said.

1. High Quality video editing software: In the last few years, I've gotten interested in making my own movies and while I do have some editing software, I'd like something better so I can create movies of good quality instead of mostly having to rely on Windows Live Movie Maker.

Of course, this is just a wish list. I know that none of this stuff is likely to happen this year or any year in the near future, it's just some stuff that I'd want if I could have anything my heart desired.
