Wow, that took some time. Fun! Quick! Tell me one holiday/birthday gift that you asked and asked and asked for. One gift that I /really/ wanted was a chemistry set when I was in the 4th or 5th grade. I wanted one so badly that I asked /everyone/ to get me one.

I ended up getting three of them for Christmas that year. Chemicals aplenty!!

I asked for an Easy-Bake Oven for years but I never got one. Then about 2 years ago I brought up how much I had wanted one as a kid and my mom got me one for Christmas. I made brownies in it ASAP. *Smile*

Do you know there's an Easy-Bake Oven Bake-Off? The winner gets a $5k savings bond. :)

No way that's awesome I'm gonna have to get in on that.

Thanks

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I always wanted an Easy-Bake oven, too... but I probably would have baked (and eaten) all of the cakes on the very first day! Good thing I didn't get one!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

That is so awesome.

I wanted a potter's wheel. Never got it, and it's probably a good thing, seeing as I would have needed a kiln or something.

[prettyvacantone.livejournal.com]

Last year, it was all about the PlayStation 2. I wanted it so bad that I even had nightmares about not getting it! Eep! But my mommy loves me and got it. ;)

I don't think this fits in the birthday/Christmas present time period, b/c it was summer, but when I was little, I begged for a Crocodile Mile (you know, those slip and slide things) forever, and never did get one.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I got a potter's wheel thing when I was about 12 or 13. What sucked is that it was powered by C or D batteries (read: not very powerful), and it only worked if you were making dollhouse-sized stuff.

It was sucktacular.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, we should totally get a Crocodile Mile this summer!! I never had one of those (they weren't out yet), but the boy who lived down the street had a Slip 'n Slide, and it pretty much rocked.

For like a minute.

I asked for a kitty for pretty much every xmas/bday, for at least 10 years. When i was 16 I *almost* got one. Had it picked out, named, told the lady we were coming back to get it next day after we picked up some supplies. My mom changed her mind at the last minute cause she didn't want my dad to freak out. I FINALLY got Botox last year, and let me tell ya I have not been disappointed. :)

A BB gun. As a little burrito, I wanted nothing more than something to shoot vermin with. (When we lived in Mass, it was woodchucks. In Colorado, it's the non-native squirrels that crowd out the native black Abert's squirrel.) I finally bought myself a nice BB gun in high school and haven't regretted it a bit.

Now I want a trebuchet, but I'm happy to build my own. It's next on our list after we finish the water cannon that will fire water like a mofo after being pumped up to 150 PSI with a bicycle pump.

Ok, Friend's list activated! Now see this:

DOH!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Very interesting...

(*goes and hides in the corner now so you don't mistake me for vermin*)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yep, I can totally see that.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Hooray for Botox!

[stoic2them.livejournal.com]

i always wanted a rock tumbler. it was in the sears wish book and it topped my list every year for like 3 years, until i stopped asking. i guess i didn't really need shiny rocks.

[vorpalbla.livejournal.com]

My current bicycle was a late birthday present from the 'rents.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yay for presents! You have a nice bike.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I totally wanted a rock tumbler throughout my childhood. I think we should buy one and make lots of keychains!

Okay, first off, where's T? Twenty-six letters in the alphabet, the author of the meme can think of categories for Q, X and Z, but can't come up with something for T? It's the most frequently used consonant in the English language!

As for the toy, I wanted anything Star Wars when I was a kid, but I really, really wanted an AT-AT and the Millenium Falcon. I got neither. My brother got an R2-D2 action figure.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, T was for "Toothpaste, brand of:" but somehow I managed to lose it. I brush my teeth, I swear!
