She is strange because she does not want to fuel our collecting habits, but still asks us what we want. She's a strange one but I always look forward to see what she thinks I want.

You know that happens to me a lot. Usually my mom will tell me and my brothers "Family wants to know what you want for Christmas." I usually say games, anime and because some of my family members think games and anime are "unhealthy" I'll ask for video game themed clothes because they'll probably get me clothes anyway. But most of the time it doesn't even matter what I say because they'll end up getting stuff I have no interest in, then I'll feel bad because basically they have just wasted their money. This only happens with Christmas though, for my birthday they'll just give me cash and just tell me "Go see a Star Wars."

Ask for money and get your collectibles yourself. I had to do that for a while with things I wanted. Now my mom can buy me stuff with skulls on it or video game related items.

Ask for money, or receipts for items they do buy you.

I just found the perfect story to compliment this discussion. Saw this article on Facebook and just had to link to it here. I won't saw what it is about but it is awesome how this guy handled this little shit kid with his shit mom.

My mom is basically the opposite of this. She knows I am a very basic person that only likes video game related things, so when a gift giving holiday comes up or if a video game I want has just released she'll give me the money to buy it instead of buying me some random clothes that I don't need. She would much rather buy me something I would actually use than something I wouldn't. In your case, do what Cucoos said, just ask for money to buy what you want during the holidays.

My first day of school is tomorrow. My friend doesn't even start until next month.

I'm kinda scared ;_;

So... I figure it's mature to actually clean and do my own laundry, right?
But, do I lose maturity points if I'm folding my clothes wearing only boxers while jamming out to the F-Zero X soundtrack and occasionally doing air guitar solos?
Because that's what I've totally been doing...

In my book you get loads of maturity points for actually doing your own laundry. My mother still does mine.

The F-Zero soundtrack makes it even more manly.

Now all you gotta do is a drink a beer and shoot some flares and you'll be the manliest man to ever live.

As a woman, I can say that any man doing any chores on his own is a huge plus. Keep it up, good sir, and you'll get all the pussy.
