God no. You trust your parents in matters such as that? My mom thinks my Neo is a Nintendo. One year I asked for X-men for the Genesis. She brought home Jewel Master. <IMG SRC="smilies/mad2.gif" border="0"> Fucking Jewel Master! She and my dad always do shit like that. It's OK to get me generic soda at the store, but they have to have name brand. "dad, this tastes like crap!" "but it was 50 cents cheaper!" If it's cheaper and the same basic thing, it might as well have a big "BUY ME INSTEAD!" sign on it.
I wonder why.
I only trust my parents to bring home dinner. I know it will be good because they will be eating it too.
My parents couldn't be bothered to get gifts that aren't from a mall. Don't even ask them to put any effort into finding something cool like a japanese game. If Best Buy or Sears don't have it, I ain't getting it. God forbid I write down the number for NCS, with the stock # for the item I want.
But on the oppisite end of the spectrum, they hint at and seem to expect me and my sisters to go out and go to specialty shops and look for specific things that they like, comprable to how I like NEO. Really starting to piss me off. <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0"> This year, they are getting towels from Wal-mart.
