So I'm going to this Christmas party held by a girl friend of mine for some kids from my high school. I plan on going and you are suppose to bring a $10-$15 gift for a gift exchange type thing if you want. My idea was to just have a card that says you are entitled to a date with me at the restaraunt of your choice (within limits). The problem is this is suppose to be for guys and girls, so I might have to have a back up present for guys.

Do you think this is a good gift? There should be some hotties eventhough I don't plan on dating any of them. I'm doing it more for fun.

_HOUSE PARTY_

edit: oh yeah, anyway, your gift sucks. what if those girls have boy friends? what if they're underage and married? their husbands will come kicking your trash (I shouldn't be saying this, but I'm not trying to put you down, but I really am writing this one though, just 'cuz your gift is pretty funny, but it's not a bad idea, but it's probably not the best idea either).

go to the dollar store...? *laughs) - okay, depends if you can find something that's worth at least ten dollars, or at least "looks" like it's worth ten bucks.

hmmm... so how about you find something in your room that's worth 15 AmeLeekin' dollah'z. -so you wanna get that old CPU cooler out of the box? do it, that will be soooo hilarious. I wouldn't say that I am good at jokes, but how about that Pentium 133MHz MMX processor that you shine nearly everyday?

try a pair of old sneekers from the garage. I'm sure those cost well over 20 bucks from Target. or if you want, those Nike's from footlocker? Okay, alright, your dad's shoes? no, your mom's shoes?

even better, the quarter machine at Cub Foods... or your local food store that may possibly have one? twist the quater in that coin socket and pop out the 25 cent jewlry! 50 cent ones if you're feeling lucky!!

Draw a picture, maybe of a cute chick like Trish from Nap. Dyna. Or find a picture of a celebrity off of the Internet, use that fancy photo printer and print something on a 4x6 photo quality card.. then kindly ask your sister to try and do a signature of that celebrity?

you know what, just go to the kitchen. grab a nice looking mug and wrap it in Hallmark gift wrap?

I am such a dork. just take out your Athlon FX 60, after someone opens it up, watch them chuck a processor still worth hundreds of dollars out of the window...

I'll just stop. but your gift sucks. are you telling me that you are going to score a date with any girl who gets your gift? and then.. you just said "limits." mCdonald's ain't bad, but what about Perkins? alright, how about the downtown area where you only got to enter dine in because of your tux, and then the bill you had to pay afterwards drained your savings account? thing is, leave your phone number and stand out from all the other guys - 'cuz though they are potential friends, don't get me wrong, but they are also your competitors on who gets "her" phone number. now if there is drinking and elicit drugs involved, don't count on it - most likely a terrible place to find decent chicks _ compare it to a club, their just there to throw themselves out. luck is one thing, but don't expect too much.

having been through what you are about to undergo? I'd say go for yourself, and not anyone else _ becuz if you're too desperate, and someone blows you off on the spot, you will not feel good anymore, depending on where your self esteem stands right now and how you're feeling that particular night _ regarding mood swings and how well you deal with guys and girls from all walks of life.

a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of people will be saying this word: "WHAT?" what..... what? what??? WHat? whaaaaAAT?" it's just how young people are, sometimes we're or them are dumb, sometimes us or they are we and how is who and when is why? Don't keep your hopes up all the way, but don't be a low baller with your head down in the corner.

my advice is that if no one is going to go anywhere with you, go alone your senior year of high school. you won't understand why until you look back many months later. it's not being a loner, it's being free and open to a society that has no rules, in a nation that stands as number one in the world, from eyes of all the face of the earth.

I had a short day in time, but it was long because of the events that took place, so I had a long day _ you will realize, that it's not how successful we are in the first place, but how much we are willing to throw ourselves at our own ideas we know to be quite farfetched, yet may make us feel like we're definetly overboard on making something happen, yet we still do it because our souls want adventure.

so if anyone says that it's a stupid idea, that's because that's what they think. so do the bring "her" out to eat _ without limits, because if you are dedicated to keeping your word, most likely she isn't going to pick a $250 sushi restraurant that could cost you your Core2 CPU and even that 3rd party cooler you managed to get shipped with a Fedex two day air plan from your favorite e-tailer. but the point is, you can't just use a note card to do this. make the impression when you give the gift, smile (girls absolutely "love" it when guys smile and smirk out the eye brow [I like the way you look 2nite]..) and always be the first one to say "thanks or thank you." anybody can ask questions, but don't be stupid and ask carelessly 'cuz you don't have anything to say, ask with enthusiasm and make it sound like you are interested, you gotta do it with a really nice gift, doesn't have to be expensive, but it should be something a girl would definetly want! I know I said what you are about to do is stupid, because that's what anybody would say, at the same time, I seriously think you should do it, 'cuz it will be the most awesome thing, whether it's a turn down or not! -it will be quite fulfilling and a pleasant feeling to know that you at least tried~

"you never know. you could be kissing your new girl friend under a mistle toe." lol

p.s. don't take me seriously, take yourself seriously. <|-sAyonArA-|>

So should I rob the house the night before?

he_ _ no

don't go for hot chicks, go for all the chicks_ but don't look like a player, 'cuz if a group of girls' BF's catch on, they're gonna get together and pummle you, don't ask me why, but some guys can be stupid like this, but don't get anyone jealous, not that you are good looking or not, but the tounge speaks for more than looks if you've got a more flexible tounge over all the other guys. it will be pretty funny, man.

don't drink the punch man, it could be spiked with vod or tough alc. I usually try not to eat "anything" at parties with groups of young people. if anyone rubs their fingers on you, walk away and rub it off right away, it could be acid or something.

and if chicks are trying to flirt with you, play along, but don't fall prey for this. you will usually know if you ask them: 1. "so what kind of things do you like to do on your free time?" 2. "what brings you here, did you come with anyone?" ask sophisticated questions with simplicity, you will not regret it. if they can't keep up, you're either too cocky or they're simply not interested.

if a fight breaks out, leave immediately. cops will show up from snitchers with cell phones. they also have what're called smart thieves. they will pick your pockets like professionals, take your debit card and drain all the funds.

man, if you know loud music is playing, when no one is tweaking the controls anymore. walk over by it, tune up the bass and slam the controls' volume settings to MAX _

from past experience, if a girl is drunk, and she tries to make out with you, don't do it, 'cuz you never know what someone might be carrying in their fluids. peck her on the cheek and move on, if you try anything funny, someone who looks after her will probably beat you up after the party.

horrible idea.

here's what u can do instead. have your gift be a gift certificate to a good restaurant ($10-$15 is essentially enough for 1 lunch). so wrap your "gift" with a unusual wrapping paper that way you'll recognize who had chosen & opened the gift. if the recipient happens to be a girl you'd be interested in going out with, approach her & tell her you were the one who bought the gift certificate...and if she's game, you'd be willing to take her out to dinner, YOUR treat. she'll tell you right then & there whether or not she's interested.

That's a pretty crappy gift idea. It makes you sound pathetic and desperate for a date when you could have just bought a gift certificate or something.
