upgraded precipice

Current Mood: lazy
Current Music: "And the Cradle Will Rock..." by Van Halen

Too little too late, possibly. I don't know who I'm posting this for, but here it is:

A nice new bicycle, with a warranty and a durable lock
A flatscreen monitor
From the Earth to the Moon DVD Miniseries
A hard drive backup
A nice mp3 player
A new video game console with the works
A car, even a POS
Somehow arrange the means for me to go flying for a bit

The problem is everything is either too expensive or too practical to make a good birthday gift. What do guys my age ask for these days?

Perhaps I should list some more realistic gifts:

A newsies hat
A new fan
Gift certificates for food places/money for my Boiler Express account
Some new dvds
Books - a ton of books
Stuff for my new apartment next year
New computer games?

Regardless of the material things (of which I have very little need, to be honest, other than just flat out money), I am actually excited for my 20th birthday at the end of this month. Mostly because I have a girlfriend now, and my mother and brother are taking me out to dinner. *optimism*
