  that would be disappointing :(

• Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2009....

  sorry to be a pain but at 18 you are going to have SOOOO many fucked up birthday presents its not funny.... get use to it, people sometimes don't get it, don't know how to buy gifts for people....
   
  geesh I'd have a stunned animal in headlights look too but like I said, at 18 you got years and years of shitty presents to stare at ahead.

• UnicornForm said on Oct 09, 2009....

  thank yall.

• phoeby said on Oct 09, 2009....

  oh that's horrible, sweetie. It's like they don't even know you enough or care enough to give you something fabulous that you deserve.
  
  
  but anyway, soldier on.. like lucy said some people just give dumb-arse presents. Wait till you get married *roars with laughter*
  
  
  i mean, how many rice cookers does a person seriously need?

• Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2009....

  Phoebs BWAA HA HAHA Ohh yeh the wedding presents are hilarious aren't they?   ((cracking up laughing))
   
  Unicorn ~ best thing to do is not have any expectations, this way you won't get upset with bad gifts, then you can laugh at the really shitty ones, keep them and pass them on to someone else.
   
  Ssshhhh it works believe me, some kid may want those pastels btw..... keep wrapped and wait for the perfect moment. :-}

• UnicornForm said on Oct 09, 2009....

  yall are great.

• uniquely-ironic said on Oct 09, 2009....

  wedding presents!  LMAO  What is a 20 year old supposed to do with a crystal wine decanter?!!
   
  Yes, keep it hush hush and you can regift.  I always treat myself to something small but nice on my birthday so that the day isn't a total waste.

• UnicornForm said on Oct 09, 2009....

  hahaha.. i had to read that again.

• Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2009....

  Hold on what about mixers.... I got four fucking mixers as a wedding gift, not to mention the mirriad number of toasters, wine glasses (broke every single one within six months)
   
  te he he he

• UnicornForm said on Oct 09, 2009....

• Lucytorial said on Oct 09, 2009....

  glad you feel better, and happy birthday btw, 18 ohh ohw I remember, its a fun time, 18 to 22 is awesome.

• phoeby said on Oct 09, 2009....

  woks.!

• dyingman said on Oct 09, 2009....

  Toys for Tots would love it.
  Regift.
  
  By the way... technically, you don't give a list of desired presents to a man until you marry him.  Then wasting money becomes your business.
  
  The way *I* liked to buy gifts for teh Mrs. was going on shopping trips and hearing her say "OMG, would you look at this!  It's BEAUTIFUL! "  <look at price tag>  "Ugh.  Maybe someday."
  
  Man, I loved when that would happen. 
  
  Be sure to do this at a number of price points. 
  
  Hopefully, he's the kind of guy who'll shop with you.  I mean, how bad does he want to be with you, y'know?  Put some effort in!

  I once got a cheap necklace like you would give a 12 year old----from a so-called fiance when I was in my 20's.

  I said thank you, one more time, then got out of the car in my driveway. 

  Never looked back.

• UnicornForm said on Oct 09, 2009....

• moonriver said on Oct 09, 2009....

  unicorn, i spent my 17th birthday in jail.
  my mother had fixed her mind i was still her baby, her 7 y-o precocious artist.
  for my b-day gift, she gave me a cheap 12-color pastel set..
  the ones used by grade school kids, worth perhaps $2.99 today.
  and a cheap sketchbook too. 100 sheets, maybe $5.95 today.
  not because she couldn't afford to splurge on me,
  but because it was her way of reminding me about the place of material things in our lives.
  during my many months in jail, i used that cheap, simple gift to sketch dozens of my co-inmates in all sorts of prison scenes.
  i also did a sketch of my mama using that pastel set.
  today, the sketches are among my prized possessions
  think of this story, whenever you look at your fucking pastel colors gift.
  
  

• Hegemone said on Oct 09, 2009....

  Eek, sorry to hear about the birthday disappointment.  Just not fair.

• UnicornForm said on Oct 10, 2009....

  moon. It wont his way of reminding me about anything. He dont put that much thought into stuff.

• UnicornForm said on Oct 10, 2009....

  hi heg.
   
  I reckon it is.

• moonriver said on Oct 10, 2009....

  yeah. maybe you dad didnt put that much thought into stuff.
  but now you're sadly burdened with a cheap fucking pastel set for a gift.
  you have two simple choices:
  
  first, you could throw it away, including the miserable tiny tendrils of thought that your dad put into it.
  thrash it, snuff it, forget about it.
  done. finie. kaput.
  
  second, keep it.
  use it, draw something silly, draw something nice.
  draw something angry if you like.
  something you could give back to your dad on his birthday.
  give those tiny tendrils a chance to grow.
  
  you have two choices.
  pick carefully.
  
  

• UnicornForm said on Oct 10, 2009....

  guess im keeping the cheap fucking pastel set.

  i wont never gunnna throw it away.

• moonriver said on Oct 10, 2009....

  :-)

• gingersoul said on Oct 10, 2009....

  Unigirl....... Moon is right......and you chose wisely......:-)

• UnicornForm said on Oct 10, 2009....

  yeah i know. its just one of those decisions you wish you could be a brat about but its better if you just move on...

• starchini said on Oct 10, 2009....

  im not touching this one, i blogged about MIINOR disapointment about my babyshower gifts being all the same.  Ooo boy, i was hung from a tree for being an ungrateful snob.  So im gonna g'head and say, be happy you got anything at all.

• UnicornForm said on Oct 10, 2009....

  i am being a ungrateful snob

• starchini said on Oct 10, 2009....

  oh.... well alright...arnt you a bit surprised no one else told you that?  im just surprised.... at the uh....inconsistency in our mutual readers...nevermind....i must just wanna make people lash out...

• UnicornForm said on Oct 10, 2009....

  What you mean?
   
  but im not perfect, i do have my super off days..

• UnicornForm said on Oct 11, 2009....

  you want to make people lash out star? so u r the one who put the viscious tag?

• queenparanoia said on Oct 12, 2009....

  he should have given you money instead... more useful...

• starchini said on Oct 12, 2009....

  vicious tag?  No.  Why would me having an adverse effect on people mean that i tagged meanly?  Thats not me.  ya wwe all have our off days.
   
   

• UnicornForm said on Oct 12, 2009....

  Hi Queen! So True So true. Im Over it now.. i will need it one day i figure..
   
  Star What do you mean? I dont understand this:
   
  inconsistency in our mutual readers...nevermind....i must just wanna make people lash out
   
  and
   
  Why would me having an adverse effect on people
   
  (Im thinking adverse means a wide variety of an effect on people, and mutual means both ways, but inconsistency? I dont get it)
   
  and im not gunna pretend like i do, lol...
   
  Had an off day the next day.. helluva homecoming weekend! :)

• starchini said on Oct 12, 2009....

  when two people bitch about a similar thing but the audience gets pissed at one blogger and sympathizes with the other....thats all im talkin about.
   
  i bitched about not liking a gift and people got mad at me, but when you do it people sympathize....
   
  that was all i was saying, i didnt wanna be real specific as to start anything...I just wanted to say I thought it was weird...and that it must be me, my personality or whatever makes people wanna be mad...
   
  Anyways, id rather not discuss it anymore i was just making a stupid comment that flew over your head and now i feel retarded for explaining it, its not important. 
   
   

• UnicornForm said on Oct 12, 2009....

  Well thanks for explaining it, really. It's not stupid to edumacate another person haha I think its how a person replies when given constructive critisism star, uplifting, or down-pressing. but than again... maybe there more real with you than me but I really think is people realling enjoy fucking cursing, especially the word fuck. haha

   

  Transmission over, Bleep(Fuck)
