Title.

 

Maybe some random geek toy? A super cool keyboard? An expensive bike?

 

I really wish I could buy a replica of Majora's Mask. I've wanted one ever since the game was released.

I can always find a reason, even if it's a huge bullshit reason. But then I feel guilty later.

Not necessarily always wanted to buy, but when I was at Universal Studios and Harry Potter world, I really wanted robes, but I couldn't justify the $120 price tag.

I did cave and bought a wand.

A Cintiq tablet from Wacom.  It's said to be a really good tablet for professionals, but not only can I not afford it, I can easily do the same type of work with a cheaper tablet.  I can only dream of having one though.

I think I could probably justify a hitman if I needed one.

It would be for personal use.

 

But I could never justify that in tax dispenses.

Tell me how.

A ticket to space. Definitely.

The Russians have been sending civilians up for decades, and Virgin is almost (supposedly) maybe-in-our-lifetime going to do it too.

A new c7 corvette stingray. A turbo kit (10k) for my current car. a wide body kid for my current car (5k). another street bike. my fathers old corvette that got stolen or his dream car, an Austin Healey 3000. the list goes on. I can afford them...but it would take a toll on my financial situation.

An Audio-Technica AT2035 Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone for producing the audio of my tutorials, recording random japanese fandub, sporadic abridged series appearances (not happening right now, obviously), and maybe starting up my own youtube channel because I need a hobby and my previously one is one that I got bored with. For right now, I just use my school's production studio which makes me not spend 200 bucks on one.

heh I've been tempted on more than a few occasion... especially since the zergling and murloc marine pets interact with each other ^_^

 

tons of hot wheels

 

Nice. I used to collect those with my dad in the mid 90s.

Found this in storage not too long ago:

Tempted to pick up the hobby again one day.

Where can I get one of those?

 

Nothing I can think of, most of the things I don't buy are because it's a pain in the ass to get them past customs...

I hate spending money in general so unless it's food I end up not buying things. I'm a minimalist, I don't have a lot of "things"

Paying someone/nerds to build me a giant replica of the Enterprise in my backyard that I could go on. All the rooms, all the tech we could do (as the holo deck isn't yet within our grasp), make it so that I could say commands and I'd get a response back:

"Mr. Scotty, we need more power"

"I'm giving her all she's got Captain!"

Something like that. 

Also, one of those really authentic Loki cosplay outfits I've seen people make. I want that helm and glowy scepter, dang it! 

 

You know what, I'm making a list:

1. replica enterprise

2. Authentic Loki cosplay I've seen made with the helm and glowy scepter

3. All the HP wands from the official warner bro's site. 

4. An all year pass (or whatever the longest Disney pass is) so I can go to HP world year round

5. complete  bedroom of what the Slytherin dorm looks like. 

6. complete bedroom of what Loki's room in Asgard might look like. 

7. Every single Loki thing I have on my amazon wishlist and pintest/etsy. 

8. SDCC pass/ticket, including one to hall H. 

9. NYCC pass/ticket

10. E3 pass 

11. Grand premiere ticket to Thor 3. (I mean a ticket to the one all the actors go to, not a ticket to the grand premiere at my local movie theater).

12. Authentic Slytherin robes from the official warner bro's site. 

 

Some can be justified, if I actually had (extra) money to spend on those things. Which I don't. I'm sure I'll think of more stuff later.

lip injections. my lips are so thin and I waste so much money on makeup to make them look thicker, I would love to just have a mouth that's proportional to my face. I also have a bit of a lopsided mouth (I was just born with it, it affects how I talk. like emma stone but not as cute. ) and I know injections can fix that... But the fact that they cost so much for something that is a complete luxury purchase and that they are temporary means that I'd feel way too guilty spending that much money on it. Maybe if they were permanent I'd consider it but even then...

Well, I've always wanted a game console either it be XBOX or PS. The last time I had a console was when I was 10 or 11 and my dad bought me a PS2. Fun it was, but then again. I was limited to only a few games like Prince of Persia, Metal Gear Solid and Need for Speed. When I told my parents I wanted a new game, they say "You've got lots there ! Why want more?" LOL Guess they never understood that when you finished an adventure game or story it gets pretty boring to repeat the whole thing.
