Wish List

I'm currently listening to: Blink 182's "Miss You" on LAUNCHcast

So far four people have asked me what I want for my birthday. To tell you the truth, I've been mulling it over, too.

So here it is... the list of "Safe Bets" for me this year:

1.) Harry Potter T-shirts. I have one from a while back, but none like these. Hell, anything Harry Potter is fine, even promising to see it with me when it comes to the Omnimax. (If it comes.) After all, I will need someone to pry my jaw up from the floor and buy popcorn.

2.) Hmmm... while we're on Hot Topic Tees...

3.) Anything having to do with The Dark Crystal. In fact, I defy you to try to find anything with The Dark Crystal. Books... figurines... the whole shebang.

4.) Mulan. Favorite Disney movie, but the videotape's getting worn out.

5.) Promise me something for the Renn Faire. A ride, a dress, something shiny, something strange, a sword. A turkey leg. Whatever. But what I'd really like is a cloak. Crushed velvet would be nice, but that gets really expensive, really fast. As always, pendants containing mythical beasts, swords, or wizards are nice, too.

6.) Homestar Runner stuff. Make sure you watch the vids while you figure out what to get me. T has an idea. "20x6!"

7.) A vintage rhinestone necklace, like the one I have from Judy's Resale. There are so many different styles, it's virtually impossible to get two that are exactly the same. Of course, if you should choose this, please... please... do not spend an arm and a leg on it! Shop around.

8.) A new claddagh ring. Size seven, I believe. My last one broke, so now my left hand feels nekkid. (To be fair I had it for two whole years. The one before it turned my finger green.)

9.) Go to a couple pawn shops and pick out something that screams, "Take me home! Wrap me and give me to Moueska!!! I'm perfect!" Places like that will suprise you to no end.

10.) A Betty Boop DVD set. Or video set. I'll bet you could find the latter cheaper. I could go into a treatise about how she was the first cartoon exclusively for the adult population with themes that could be watched by children and not understood. (I remember being over at a friend of my parent's house as a kid... they wouldn't let me watch their Betty Boop video. I think that's part of the reason I was so set on seeing as many of them as I could.) I borrowed the anthology from the library about four years ago, but haven't seen them since.

I'm not expecting all of these... not by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just saying it would be nice. It's also a pretty good representation of my "safe bets". Remember, a girl turning 20 doesn't happen every May! Just this year. On the 11th. *coughbirthdaycough*
