Many people have been wondering what I wanted. So (not to be rude, but I like presents) I guess here’s some things I could use. I know that the things are a BIT on the really-expensive-technology-that-kids-shouldn’t-play-with side, but TECHNICALLY I’m not a kid anymore being 13. Now I’m a teenager. Anyway, there are only a few so I guess it could be like my birthday where everyone chips in on the big expensive one. I link to where you can buy it online, give the price and WHY I want it. Enjoy my hours of laboring over the internet, not being able to choose WHAT I WANT!!!

UPDATE: I added a game, magazine, and book. Any questions, email me at austensquarepants@gmail.com or make a comment to this post. Everything is in the order of how much I want them. (in other words, I want that external hard drive more than the SW Visual Guide)

Gotta Have:

Present: Seagate Technology 200 GB External Hard Drive
Price: $175
Why I want it: I only have a 20 GB (gigabyte) hard drive on my computer. Now that’s fine for someone like my mom who has word documents and a few family pictures. But for someone like me who saves high-quality movie files for the ultimate-looking movie and who has games like The Sims 2, Battlefront, and Podracer. Also, who has all of their schoolwork on their and pictures, AND 4 gigabyte iTunes library which includes long podcasts. Along with my movie editing programs and picture editing programs like photoshop and skype, and aim, and google talk, and google earth and many more things, I think that maybe I SHOULD get an external hard drive. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES! I could get powerpoint (science teacher is offering it free) (memory-clogger which is why I don’t have it now) and I could save my movies in the HIGHEST quality (DV-AVI which is 178 MB a minute) and so much more. So please, help my cause by giving to the poor. Thanks, and Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Present: USB 2.0 Hub
Price: $24
Why I want it: I only have two USB ports on my computer. (A USB port is one way for different devices to connect to a computer like a mouse, printer and other devices) One I use for the mouse and the other is optional for whatever I’m using. Sometimes it’s my joystick, ipod, printer, dvd player/burner, an other things. So if I get this hub thing I will have 5 PORTS in all since it turns one of them into 4. This would enable me to plug most or almost all of my devices into the coputer at once so I don’t have to continuously change it all the time. It’s only $24 (ok, maybe not “only” but it’s quite decent.) to buy and one of my few (though all expensive) presents.

Present: The World of Harry Potter
Price: $13
Why I want it: 4 GAMES for just $13!!! It’s amazing! A cheaper game is usually about $15!!! But this has 4 GAMES all that I have always wanted! ESPECIALLY The Quidditch World Cup! ONLY 13 DOLLARS!!!
NOTE: Make sure that it is this exact thing, Because there are a lot of harry potter games, and they are all RIP-OFFS compared to this. So make sure you order it online if you could. (Click the title)

Present: War of the Worlds DVD
Price: $26
Why I want it: Another summer action movie that I really enjoyed. War of the Worlds was scary, thrilling, and action-packed perfectly. And it WAS Steven Spielberg. I also want to see the special features so make sure it’s the 2-DISC edition.

If you still have some money left over:

Present: Batman Begins DVD
Price: $18
Why I want it: Well, all of the early summer action movies are now coming out on DVD, so I have my eye on them. Batman Begins was a pretty cool movie, and it has some special features which I really want to see, so make sure it’s the 2-DISC edition.

Present: Mad Magazine Subscription
Price: $12 a year
Why I want it: On our trip to Florida last summer I picked this up at the airport. Very funny, I’d love to have it.

Present: Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide
Price: $16
Why I want it: I wouldn’t ask for it normally, but because of the amazingly cheap price for this super-stuffed book, I really think that I want it.
