Why don't YOU have Skyrim?

I'm getting it for my birthday in 14 days time. Until then, I'm piecing together random impressions of the game from screenshots, minute-long gameplay snippets, and the stories people tell of it.
A fortnight is far too long o_o
Incidentally, phrases like "best game I've ever played" have been thrown around with what, were it any other game, I would say was recklessness; in this case I'm inclined to believe them.

I'm just not interested. Skyrim doesn't appeal to me, as do most fantasy RPGs. Plain and simple.
Well I just got the game because I'm a freaking idiot and I accidentally bought it on steam. Had a really shitty day and my friend called ranting about it so I just wanted to see the tax, lucky me the checkout is so short and I was so stressed my eye was twitching. I managed to buy it on my brothers credit card no less (since he bought Metro 2033 for us to play on my account when it was on sale).
Best part is I've seen nothing on Skyrim besides 2 Harry Partridge spoof animations and I've never been really able to get into the TES series, Morrowind was great but I didn't like the combat function, Oblivion had ...well it's minor gripes that kept me from buying it(Loved the fallout games).
So I didn't have it before, now I do fun-derful.

Pretty much what you said, plus my current expenses currently exceed my current incomejamart said:
I'm not taking out another loan...I just can't.
Also, I'm going to be racking up a fair bit of overtime after I finish up with my schoolwork. I'll need some time to kill before I can really get into Skyrim.
My 360 RRoD'd, and my computer's barely on its feet. I'd need a new one of either before I could even consider buying it.
A Calculus Exam, a Strucutral Geology Exam, a Structural Geology Presentation, a Computer Science Exam,a Engineering Drafting exam, I have to make a portfolio of 10 AutoCAD Drawings for a job interview, I have a girlfriend who demands semi-constant attention... and the list goes on
Oh, did I mention that that's pretty much all in the same 2 week block?

I can't justify spending the money, I don't need another reason to distract myself from the things I should be doing, and I'm less interested in fantasy settings.
But the big reason is that Fallout 3 taught me that the larger your world is, the less effort has been put into each individual piece. I'm sure there are a lot of interesting quests and characters strewn about, but I'd bet there are also a lot of samey dank caves with the same enemies I've been fighting all along. You might say I don't have to do everything, but I can't count on the game being generous enough to tell me "This part is just filler, keep moving."

I don't have skyrim because I didn't want to buy it

But seriously, never really go into the elder scrolls series. Oblivion looked boring so I wasn't likely to buy it's successor.
