Narrowly resisted writing "Buying Kylee candles makes the baby Jesus cry" on my wish list.

ha ha ha ha ha

you could always give your excess candles away to
good homes, as I have done with unwanted gifts over the years

Yeah, of course, but I still don't get what I actually want then.

[marzipan-pig.livejournal.com]

clearly your family has a different relationship to
'gift giving' than mine does; we're germanic, gifts
that do not kill us make us stronger :)

I think oncea few years ago right after she'd seen me there was some major holiday and
my mom gave me a bunch of little gifts based on
stuff she'd seen me enjoying when we were together and
it was like this HUGE unprecendented deal, to get
presents that might actually be linked to something
I wanted and could use.

I still think you shouldwork the baby jesus in there somewhere.

hmm.

Probably because what you really want to write is:

"Buying Kylee candles makes the baby Jesus butt plug cry."

Candles cry, I expect.

would a candle wax baby jesus butt plug get too soft, you think?

Re: hmm.

candle waxes come in a range of hardnesses and melting points, as I once learned to my embarrassment.

what about a Baby Jesus buttplug candle-holder?

Buying Josh candles fills Baby Jesus with delicious candy!

Heh. Well, here's the wish list in question (http://www.drizzle.com/~skywise/wishlist.html). That ought to provide some background (the "please do not buy me" section is at the bottom).

Basically I have enough candle stuff, and I don't want any more, and even though I have been saying that for a long while now, my mom bought me candle holders for last Christmas and birthday. It was really disappointing. So I revised my wish list to be more emphatic, but I managed to resist some of the more outrageous things I wanted to say.

Oo, you read fast, don't you? [envyenvyenvy]

This has sure been an amusing, informative, and entertaining thread!

Books or book accessories. Okay, you like them. I like them too. But if you saw the size of the bin under my bed full of books and book-related junk you would take pity on me. Buy me RAM. Really. Please."
