why do I set myself up to be crushed??

[iheartsammy]

ok, I know this will sound stupid to you and You'll probably wonder what the big deal is, but here I go..

as you might have realised I love sonic the hedgehog games! and there is a new game coming out on Dec. 9th for there 15th anniversy and I must have it! I keep going online and looking up photos and review and I get this sick feeling inside me. I know you might think it's 'just a game' but it isn't to me! I grew up with these games and It's all I even play. The thing is I'm tired of waiting like 2-3 years for the prices to go down for me to get a games! I've desided I want a Xbox 360 and Sonic the Hedgehog game for christmas and thats it! I keep asking my mom and I keep telling myself I will have it, but I know it isn't going to happen. I'm practiclly crushing myself and setting myself up to be disapointed...

I know this seems like it isn't a big deal, but it is to me, no one will ever understand my love for these games, or why I love it so much. I can't even begin to explain. It's just more then a game to me, but I don't expect anyone to ever understand that. I will always love the sonic games, because they mean alot to me, more then anyone will know..

I think it might begin with the fact that me and my brothers and sisters would play together all the time, but now that there all moved away I'm all alone, and playing the sonic games makes me fell closer in a way...

I seriously think I'm going to cry!

ok, I'm done... I know it sounds foolish, but it means a lot to me

its not much but I hope it helps

It's not foolish. I know how it feels to want something so bad and ask for it and beg and plead and never get it. I wanted a puppy so bad when I was younger because I didn't have that many friends but I never got one. My parents would even go through the whole thing of letting me go to the petstore and pick out a puppy and then say "well lets go look around and make sure this is the one you want". I'm sure lots of us know exactly how you feel and I really hope you do get that for Christmas. Have you tried talking to your parents about why you want this and how much it means to you?

I would try juliefurry, but I dout they my mom would listen, she would probably be like "awwww, how sad" sarcasticly, practicaly laughing in my face. She would probably think I was just saying that so I can get one. Which is kinda weird, because I rarely lie to her, and even when I do, she knows when I'm lieing, cuz I'm really bad at it..

This does feel like when I wanted a puppy, my mom was on and off with whether I could have one or not. One week she would be searching around helping me look, then the next she would tell me I had to wait till I was 16! :yikes:

Maybe if my mom, dad, and whoever else in my family cares to pitch in, can all buy me one.. that would be great!

Why do you think you won`t get it?Mams usually come thru at christmas don`t they?If you`re in doubt you can always make a deal with her,something you`ll do for her in exchange,whatever she wants!I can totally apreciate your love of sonic,I`m a devout gamer myself,I`m 37 now,been playing since the dawn of video games and play as much now as I always have.I`m sure your prepared to do anything your mam asks to seal the deal.Good luck.

If you don't expect you wont get disappointed. Just about every time that I have expectations I find myself disappointed. I would work hard around the house because a roof and food are pretty nice by themselves and not expect anyone to get the game for you. If you do get it, great, but if not just earn one on your own. I wish I could get a set up like that myself and I would rather earn it at a kids wage with a kids overhead than to earn it at an adult wage with adult overhead. It may be a bit slower but the worries and headaches are much less. Good luck with your quest

Aww...I'm sorry to hear that you are so down. ((hugs))
Just try not to be sad if you will not get the xbox and the game for Christmas... I hope your parents will be able to buy it for you...but you also have to think about how expensive it is.
I agree with BS... how old are you? Maybe you could find a job and buy one for yourself. It will feel so much better!

P.S.: I'll still cross my fingers for you

I'm only 15, I've tried to get a job forever, but I live in the middle of nowhere! I have no clue where I could get a job.

I know it is quite expencive, but it's christmas and if my mom, dad, and other family memeber pitch in (large family..lol) I'm sure it will work out. besides my mother just went out and bought like $500 on a tv and out door heaters, for the garage.. because we go in there so much

anyway I really hope things work out!
