Default Will my mom ever learn???

So here's the story

2 months ago, I bought an Xbox. I told my mom that I made this decision because Xbox live will so awesome. But around the time XBL came out, my mom kept giving me these BS excuses to stop me from buying it.

First off, I didn't have a credit card. She told me I couldn't use hers, therefore I can't get XBL.

But then I throw out the idea of buying myself a pre-paid credit card, and she was alright with it.I could now get XBL.

But then 2 days later, I ask if she could pre-order it for me, and she tells me that she doesn't think I should get it because if it doesn't work, I'll just bitch and bitch about it. And plus shes afraid of my dad tripping over the ethernet cable going into my room (or at least it would be if I was to get XBL) at night. So she tells me flat-out, I cannot get Xbox live. You will never be able to get Xbox live. I do not care if you pay for it or not, you will not get it.

So that's great. I bought an Xbox for practically nothing . But then, I thought to myself "maybe she's planning on buying it for me for christmas". For the past few days, shes been lurking around the internet looking for a "surprise" gift for christmas. Through the "blessing" of IE History, I discovered that the whole suprise was...


A universal system selector.

Now I made this clearly to my mom that I want XBL very very badly. Whenever we see an ad for it, I get all mopey and depressed saying "Man, I really wish I could get that", and she won't take the freakin hints! If I could get just one thing for christmas, it's that, but she just won't see it!

I lost all faith in the holidays. Now christmas just seems like just another day. I realize that theres more unfortunate people in the world, but god am I disapointed!


Christmas sucks!

Well how about getting an Ethernet jack in your room?

Or tie the cable to the ceiling? Under the carpet?

That sucks. Really. Hopefully you can get one someday though.
