OK, got $80 in my wallet and I'm thinking of this stuff:

Nintendo DS (preferably with the free Mario... Fred Meyer should still carry it)
Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana (need soundtrack!)
Creative Audigy2 ZS sound card (been running on gay AC'97 realtek onboard forever)

Thoughts?

I've always drank for the taste. You never see me drunk, drinking cheap beer, cheap wine etc. So, if I wanted to do something for turning 21, I'd go out to the liquor store and buy an 80 dollar vintage wine (the state liquor stores seem to have better stocks). I've been dying to try ice wine. Ontario is supposed to have the best ice wine in the world, but the cheapest bottle I could find was 25 bucks, and ice wine bottles are about half the size of normal wine, so I never actually got around to it. I can't find ice wine in MA or NH. I wish I bought one when I had the chance.

Though the fact that I drink more for taste means I drink all those gay, girly etc. (whatever you want to call them) drinks.

Kind of hard to believe you'd even have to ask. Except, my family bought me all the alcohol I could ever want on my 21st so maybe that's why you're intent on buying something else.

But you should buy it after drinking.

I've been shitfaced plenty of times before. Therefore, what's the point? Because its legal? Meh, whatever.

Decided on the sound card. My PC sound has been pretty pathetic, BF2 pops and crackles... if I can drop $65 on a zboard with bf2 keyset (45 after rebate) then I can get a sound card that kicks ass.

Probably will pick up Atelier Iris after next payday.... stupid games, how is it that i'm paid nearly $24K a year and I'm always broke

24K really doesn't go that far anymore?

if you go out to the bar when you turn 21, bring your ID and about 4 dollars...
i swear it is a guarenteed night of free drinking. i even got hooked up with a handblown glass pipe, jar, and about 3 bowlpacks of nuggets for nothing

I drink for taste as well. Everclear and koolaid packets. Tastes better with every gulp.

when i turned 21, i didnt buy alcohol right away either...im not really one for drinking....beer just tastes like piss and i dont care to "develop" a taste for piss....though i will drink "girly" drinks from time to time...not just to drink, but because im thirsty and they taste good...i particularly like Jack Daniels Wild Berry Jack...it tastes like that good ass grape cough syrup that i had when i was a kid...the kind i would fake sick just to drink lol...anyways, i drink maybe once every 6 months or so...most of the time just because i can't sleep and drinking alcohol gets me really tired...i actually drank a bottle of wildberry jack lastnight and was falling asleep while drinking it lol

Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana (need soundtrack!)
?

You'd be lucky to find a B&M store that will still have the soundtrack by next week, since it was a preorder bonus.

Can still get it when ordering off Gamestop.com though.
