And y'know, maybe it's December now. (Pretty sure it's December everywhere on the planet now. Can't be bothered to check. But I'm pretty darn sure, because it's nine PM here and the date line's only ... uh ... 10 hours away? less I think. guessing high. In any case it's still December 1 there.) December's cool.
And maybe this month happens to have a general gift-giving holiday within it. It does? Really? Christmas, you say? Ahh ... I knew I wasn't going crazy ...
And maybe if all those three happen together, you might maybe like to get me a present! That would be cool. It's not like you have to or anything; I'm good with that too. Friendship and hugs are just as nice. In fact, quite often they are very very nice! And they are even sometimes (often) preferable to presents. So don't feel pressured or anything.
But if you really want to give me a present, that's fine! I will not deny presents. I like giving people presents, myself. It's fun. And far be it from me to deny anyone fun. So if that's why you give presents, sweet! Give away. I'm down with that. And if you just like me that much, that's cool too. I appreciate it.
"But wait!" you may say. "That's all well and good, but I have no idea what you might like!"
Oh ho ho ho. Wait no longer, my dear friend who enjoys gift-giving and would like to give me a present. For here is my current wishlist! I would like the following things to show up in my life at some point in the future:
- the Who Killed Amanda Palmer songbook
- the Who Killed Amanda Palmer book
- the On The Many Deaths of Amanda Palmer book
- ... yeah you're sensing a pattern, it's okay, I'm fine, no need to worry, they're just different permutations of a concept that is fascinating and beautiful and artful
- The Dresden Dolls Companion, and The Virginia Companion
- Erutan's CD, Raindancer
- bootlaces!
- seriously, you have no idea how much I want a new pair of bootlaces. one of mine is fraying and dying and I have to wrap it three times around the little hooky things so that I'm not tripping on the bow. But I honestly think the things are two feet long and I haven't found them anywhere (save taking them off a pair of boots in the store). I have no idea how long bootlaces are. Longer than normal shoelaces, I think. I don't really want to take my one remaining intact bootlace out of the boot and measure it, because I don't really want to thread it back in again.
- the Hitchhiker's trilogy
- mind you, it's a trilogy of six. yes, it's six now.
- the Lord of the Rings series
- I've read them, of course, but I don't have my own set, and my mother would fight me for the ones at home (and she'd win because I couldn't harm the books)
- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (book or video)
- love, love, love, so much love ...
- The Elegance of the Hedgehog (French and/or English)
- In French it is called L'élégance de l'hérisson. It is a book. It is by Muriel Barbery.
- possibly one or more of the WKAP perfumes ...
- Conservatory Tableaux would be nice
- or Daylilies at the Bottom of the Stairs
- or even Manus Dei (The Typewriter Incident)
- Cabaret poster
- an Amanda Palmer tee ... either this one or this one, methinks (babydoll medium)
- or perhaps a ThinkGeek tee!
- a Luminglass in white
And that is all! Unless of course you find something brilliantly interesting that you think I would like (and there are a large amount of things that fit into there), in which case, go nuts.
