When Amanda asked what I wanted for Christmas, all I could think of was Guitar Hero III (I guess I could've named this post "Why I'm a Nerd, Part 54). Easy enough, right?
Well, from what I heard, it is very hard to find Guitar Hero for the Wii anywhere, so I got a little nervous that Amanda may not be able to find a copy for me, especially since she works all the time. Well, last Saturday, while Amanda was working, I went "Christmas shopping" and to my surprise, I found a copy of the game at Target. I, of course, didn't want to take any chances and bought it right there and then for myself. Did I buy any other gifts for anyone else? Of course not.
I decided not to wait until Christmas and opened it up right away. Now that I bought myself a gift and opened it already, I have officially taken all of the excitement out of Christmas. I guess I am a Grinch of sorts.
Not that I'm complaining, of course. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last few days of playing Guitar Hero and am already working a few of the Hard levels.
Amanda's not complaining either. As I type this, she is downstairs rocking out to Rage Against the Machine's Bulls on Parade. Maybe I should've given the game to her for Christmas.

I already ruined Christmas by getting in a car accident, so we're even. We're just perfect for one another.
Just wrap it up on Christmas eve and give it to her anyway. Or do the blanket trick and just cover it so you don't have to waste ribbon and paper. At least we know now that WE don't need to buy one and send it to you!
this made me laugh out loud! no wonder you and christian are friends... amanda we're in the same boat... we are married to men who buy themselves presents even when they're not supposed to!
My "problem" is whenever I buy something for someone else, I buy one for me too. This Christmas will be the best ever.
You are a dork Ben, but we love ya! We actually played guitar hero the other night at a friends and it was pretty fun, just be prepared to listen to Ryan sing at the top of his lungs if you ever invite him to play with you!
