Present List v.5.1

[sorcyress]

Most Recently Updated: 2009 08 22

Obligatory Disclaimer One: Oh, my dear darlings. I am so not expecting anything from anyone on my entire friends list, at all. I know that you lot love me, you do not have to prove it with trinkets.

Obligatory Disclaimer Two: I have no money. You will not get a present, so do not fear that I will surprise you with a present and make you feel guilty when you can't get me one in return.

Obligatory Disclaimer Three: This is in no way a comprehensive list of everything I want in the world. This is only a semi-comprehensive list of everything I *know* I want in the world. I like things!

Some things I would like at some point

Moreso than anything else, get me a copy of your favourite book. Write in the cover and the margins, highlight your favourite lines, whatever, just make it a part of you, and give it to me. More than anything, this is my preference for gifts.

Money for the Narbonic fund --Narbonic is just about the best comic ever, and the artist is doing bonus drawings for anyone who buys all six volumes together--otherwise, I would just be asking for the books separate. But yeah, I want to be able to buy these.

For my good pocketwatch to be fixed, already!

Backhoe
Dinosaurs. Yes, real ones. FIND THEM, DAMNIT!
Envelopes and stamps
Origami paper
Plain stainless steel zippo lighter
Green electrical tape
Good pocketknife (not multitool)
Speakers for my computer (Less crucial, but nice.)

5x Rainbow treehouse sets
Chrononauts 1.4
Settlers of Catan
Dominion
Agricola

Old, abandoned ties you just have lying around and don't wear
Buttons/pins/badges/whathaveyou
A real top hat --not a ten dollar felt or plastic one

Titus, seasons 1, 2, 3 on DVD
Jekyll, on DVD (region one, if possible)

Shaws gift cards
itunes gift cards, but even more so, make me a mix tape
Letters --My college address will be posted shortly

Dinosaur drawings --get me a drawing of a dinosaur done by a famous person. Or yourself. I collect 'em!

---

I hope to, over the summer and into the next year, be living on my own. To that end, there are some housewares and the like that I could use:

Shaws Gift cards, like I said. Or just hand me money with the caveat that it is grocery money. I will subsequently only use it to feed myself.
CVS gift cards, for tolietries and housewares.

Further adventures in kitchenware! I have two pots, a strainer, a pair of decent knives, a pasta spoon, and tongs. The top of the list for things I need is probably another pot, and a cast-iron frying pan (accept no substitutes!) However, since I'm likely to move into a furnished apartment, that's less necessary, but still. Good to have at some point.

Dunno, what else does a room of one's own require? Furniture? Look, if you have an old desk or futon or dresser or something, we can talk. But I won't need it until May at the *earliest*


I want a dustbuster. Not a full size vacuum. Not a roomba. A little tiny convenient dustbuster.

Hey, works for me!

Plain stainless steel zippo lighter
Heh. Zippos are pretty awesome. Everyone on our team at work got a free zippo as a promotional item (because the game's main character is a chain smoker) and I love it. I've never even bought fuel for it let alone smoke. I just love the sound it makes =)

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Lucky bastard! I want a zippo wicked bad. Gnarr!

And I feel I should note that I don't smoke either. Just, fire good.

[harena.livejournal.com]

i have this one (http://wiki.hypertwins.org/File:Ferret_Lighter.jpg), but as you can see, it's not particularly plain and it most unfortunately is unfueled because i have not been able to find lighter fluid for it yet :/

. o O (yesss, fire verrrry gooood :fuzzydemon:)

[sparr0.livejournal.com]

Handcuff key
Mine's on my keychain, provokes some fun questions :)

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Ooo, now I really want to put it on my keychain, and get a big ol' clock key, just so I have the trifecta of interesting keys. ((I've already got a house key that's all nice and long and old fashioned, like so))

~Sor

[harena.livejournal.com]

Hee! that one is just like the ones to some of the doors in my house that i use every day! So much shiny!

i might even be able to be talked into letting go of some other antique-y keys i have (no memory of where they came from and they don't go to anything in this house but boy are they ever full of ferret glee!).. let me know if you are interested & i'll take pictures!

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Woah, how did I never let you know that I am TOTES interested!! You know, if you want to get rid of them and stuff, you definitely do not have to give me old keys.

~Sor

[harena.livejournal.com]

Picture! (http://wiki.hypertwins.org/File:Keys_to_Show_Sor.JPG) :D

[harena.livejournal.com]

Huh, did i never send you the picture i took? If not, should i post it here or would you prefer image-in-an-email?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Also, I'm vaguely annoyed that I've not gotten to rifle through your pockets ever and look at the things you've got there, like your keychain. Lemme paw through your wallet sometime?

There are several things on your list that were on mine.

I never got my own backhoe, but my mother-in-law (of all people) found someone who would let me dig holes in his backyard with his backhoe for an hour for a reasonable fee. Only Carol made me share the hour with her.

Zippo tried to rescue their business from the descreasing number of smokers by selling flashlight guts that you could use to replace the guts of their lighters. I carried around a Zippo flashlight for a while until I lost it. I think they may have Zippo laser pointers now, too. I still have some flashlight guts lying around, but the batteries are probably dead and they're not easy to replace. They take a battery similar to a AAAA (yes 4 A's) but about 1mm shorter so you have to file it down. Geeky note, a AAAA cell can be found inside many 9V batteries.

bah: it's a lovely Idea and all, but how are we supposed to get these things to you when you have college-student-address? I have ties I don't wear that I'd love to donate to the CAUSE.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

You let me know that you have things for me, and I immediately launch you to the top of my "list of people I should hang with sometime". I'll be back in town on the fifth --game night is Wednesday?

Not that I'm really easily bribed or anything.

~Sor

[dan4th (from livejournal.com)]

Wednesdays are still good. :D

[werewulf.livejournal.com]

So I can't help but notice that the last update on this list was before your most recent birthday making it suspect...

Love,
your,
Mom

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Okay, I actually put an update log on it. Nyah.

~Sor

jest lemee know...

I have measuring cups for you. They're the 1/4- 1c plastic kind, but as long as you are not being picky, I'm not. I have the matching measuring spoons if you want too.

In the same vein, when you figure out what you need, ping me. I am kitchenful.

I may also have a pair of computer speakers (if I can get my stereo working with my ipod then I definitely have a *good* pair of speakers for you) and a desk that is probably bigger than you want, but I am going to try and actually sell that one, since I paid actual money for it. But hey, $30.

And I may have an extra pair of trauma shears (aka EMT scissors. you're so cute). If you want little one, I can probably snag you a pair in hot pink.

And I may be able to snag you some green electrical tape, depending on how many rolls of it Ben has and whether he is looking the other way at the time.

And I agree. Evolution completely killed totebags.

[dan4th.livejournal.com]

you realize this is sadly out of date, right?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Only a little bit out of date! I still want many of the things on this list! There are things to add but _oh fine_ I will go update this wait what is this on my desktop is it more thoughts I think it is *coff*.

Enabler.
