I have this tradition of giving certain people gifts we both know they will never use and they do the same to me. I'm never going to use RCA cables and they are never going to read a book... In contrast, there are people who I have to buy something meaningful for given that they put thought into their gift for me occasionally.
It does suck when you buy a person some [A video game] and you know they want it since you take them to Game Stop and pick it out and you pay... and then finding out that, "Well... I have so many games to play that I haven't gotten around to opening it..." Mind you this is a year after buying the game.
Honestly, money is not good right now. And I am trying to move out of my area given many factors that I won't bore you with.. As such I probably won't start shopping until later. lol
