MOOP!

So, I don't get a lot of validation for the boy half of me. Which is...yanno, I'm genderqueer, I'm not trans, it feels like too much hassle to correct everyone's pronouns and name and whatnot, especially since my periods of being strongly gendered are so intermittent and weird.

But anyways, I certainly am a dude some days, and it makes me happy when people remember that or notice that --if I'm wearing my "Erik" badge at squares, or flagging a purple bandana, or binding, or dressed the part of a gentleman, I probably wish to be referred to as one. And sometimes people talk to me as Erik, and even if they are talking to me as Kat or Sor other times, it's wondrous to get that moment of validation.

Anyways, all that bullshit rambling is a lead up to this:



BEST. HAT. EVER. OMG. THANK YOU HAR!

--PopTartsKing (who in all rights should be called Sorcyrer, but fuck that, I like being PTK, it's comfortable)
MOOP!

(Postscript, for explanation: Purple is my colour. Orange is Kat's colour. Rich, deep, royal purple --this hat is exactly the right shade-- is the sort of thing that makes me squee and bounce and want to put together into just splendid costume. So this hat is not only a present for me, but it's a present for me in my colour. Ee!)

DISCLAIMER:

I'm not greedy, I'm thorough. I like many many things in the world, and these are some of the things I like best, and want the most.

( Big frigging list of stuff. )

If you have found something awesome for me that's NOT on this list, by all means, feel free to give it to me. Presents of any sort, any time, rule.

Also note that I don't, at any point, need presents, and I happen to love hugs above everything else. This is not begging, this is just reference.

MOOP!

Real posts later. Memeing now!

Stolen from the Keira:

For the first five people that reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something.

It might be something I've made, or something cool from my hidden stash, it might be a mix CD - or a rubber duck, a book I think you will enjoy, or something else that is awesome. The gift will be tailored specifically to each person.

Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you in 365 days or less.

The only thing you need to do in order to participate is to be one of the first five to reply to this, AND post this very same thing on YOUR live journal - cause it's fun to give people prezzies! I'm all for frequent random presents.

yay!

MOOP!

(((And because I'm like that, I think the five person limit is rediculous. If you want me to send you something, leave a comment. If I feel that I don't know you well enough to give you my (return) address, I'll let you know and we'll work something out. )))

(((Alsoalso, I call bullshit on the 365 days thing. I've had the photo meme sitting in my queue for *how* long now?)))

Loverly pictures will come later, I suppose. But ohmans, I got STUFF!

From Katters, I got a ticket to go and fucking see JEKYLL AND HYDE with her! Ohmigawd, Squee! And linked to that, mum sent me out to California to spend four days with her and watch ENTIERLY too many good things.

Also, mum disagrees with me about Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde. She says that it is not better then it ought to be.

From Harena I got the most magnificent pirate hat ever. It is bright orange, and she KNITTED and felted it. It's SO COOL!

From Tho I got an exceedingly long letter (Tho, you do know that my christmas letter to you was only so long because I wrote it during Drivers Ed and had nothing else to do, right?) and the Swedish version of the complete Guide which is Very Cool and utterly unreadable.

From Ksatyr I got WAY TOO MANY awesome presents. My boyfriend spoils me. *smiles happily* He gave me a wind up triceratops pencil sharpener, which you all will get video of when I take pictures, a lego set which has instructions to make a little mini backhoe (ohmygod. SQUEE!) an abacus, and a backed up copy of my original baby, Dmitri. Mmm!

Neva gave me a bag of Neva Spice Cookies which may, in fact, be the most delicious things EVER! Besides, you know, everything else that Neva ever makes. :P

ShadowKevin got me a College Survival Kit. I need to take pictures to do it justice, but here's the quick list of what all is in it:

Black Bandana, Sewing kit, Blank Notebook, Pens, Posing-thing, Fimo Clay, Duct Tape, Mini Maglite, Chapstick, Mentos, Mentos + Soda tube, Pixie Sticks, Ramen, Pop-Tarts, Jack Sparrow, Glow Stick, Thread, Velcro, Crayons, and a PotC LunchBox!

Mum and Da got me a frigging MACBOOK! which means that they are absolved of all other present giving for however long the time is. *waves hand vaguely*

Mom also got me a copy of Fluxx 3.1 (YAY!) and a copy of Martian Coasters. Seeing as I do not yet own a copy of Treehouse, that's less then perfectly useful, but we'll GET there...

Mom also got me the Greatest Present Ever*, doubly so because it has the whole history thing to it. See, way back when she was first married to Dad, during their first christmas, he got her a truly wonderful piece of clothing.

As mum put it when she handed it to me "It needs some work."

But OHMYGOD! Original Banana Republic photojournalists vest

Holy shit. I've wanted one of these ever since Origins '04 when I first saw Magus's.

Actually, hell, lets be honest. I've wanted a fishing vest (Which is kinda the same thing) ever since I first read "The Adventures of Blue Avenger" way the heck back in whenever it was I first read it. Middle School, probably. Because they are pockety and awesome and SQUEE!

Most of the big pockets are somewhat ripped out, and the ID pocket is dead. But the rest of it works and I can put things in the pockets and OHMYGODSQUEE!

Any birthday where I get pixie sticks, a backhoe, a dinosaur, Hitchhikers stuff, AND a much wanted piece of clothing is a Very Good One. And my computer. And an Awesome Hat. And Spice cookies. And California.

Yeah, I love you all! Muah!

MOOP!

*Actually, just about everything was the greatest present ever.
