Pressure
I'm horrible at telling people what I want for Christmas. My mother just called and told me that I'm her problem child. She mentally went through every room in the house and realized that I have pretty much everything I need, and those things that I don't have, I more or less need to get for myself. Graham has similarly interrogated me over the last few days about what I want for Christmas, and I've been similarly stuck.
I'm sure there's plenty of stuff out there that I'd be delighted to get, but I don't ever have a clue what it might be. I need a new laptop, but that's not necessarily something that someone else can buy me. I would like a flat screen TV, but that requires a major redecoration in our TV room so it's not just a flat screen but also a trip to IKEA. I don't really need any clothes. I probably would enjoy books and music, but it's not like I don't already have enough.
I tend to blank on stuff like this mainly because I don't really feel comfortable asking people for stuff. I feel greedy and uncomfortable or something....
