Birthday Wish List

NOTE: I don't really like the colors pink or mauve. So, with that said,

Useful Things:
1. Make a Donation in my name. All charities are fantastic, but my personal favorites are Invisible Children, RAINN and PETA
2. A Razor Scooter would be perfect for zooming around on campus. Just saying.
3. Remember my shoe blog? Well, I still haven't found a pair of shoes to replace them, but maybe you can help me. TOMS Silver Glitter Shoes are totally my style [size W7.5] and whats even better, for every pair of TOMS Shoes you buy, another pair are donated to a child in need  [I also love the Black Canvas shoes as well]. Inspiration: one Jess McFadden.

4. A Desk Lamp- with or without iPod thing, this is just one of the ones I found online.

5. Hanging Wall Organizer. I'm a supremely messy person. Anything organizing would be wondrous.

6. Sounds bad, but always money. Money is always good.

7. A surge protector.

8. Plastic storage containers for clothes and amenities and stuff like that for college. Real cheap at Target and Wal-Mart I've found. Lowe's possibly too.
9. A First Aid Kit. Suggestions of what to put in it can be found here.
10. A bookshelf I can either hang on the wall or put in top of a desk [or books. Books are nice too. I love books].
11. A college friendly cookbook, an assortment of tea, a yoga mat or an air freshener spray.

Electronics:

12. Boombox Bag. So awesome, thanks DJ McFad!
13. A Macbook hardshell case for Macbook 13" widescreen notebook.

14. This amazing Sony SLR Camera. Or, y'know, a Best Buy giftcard. :]
15. Bath&Body Works Scentbug. Love me some yummy smells! Available in different colors at all Bath&Body Works stores...at least every one I've been to [ALSO: Scents of Bath&Body Works that I like: Black Raspberry Vanilla, Brown Sugar&Fig, Butterfly Flower, Country Apple, Enchanted Orchid, Midnight Pomegranate, P.S. I Love You, Rainkissed Leaves, Sun-Ripened Raspberry, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Water Blossom Ivy, and Wild Honeysuckle. Just, you know, in case you want to get me Sensual Amber, or Plumeria or something I wouldn't really wear.

Clothes/Accessories:

16. Silver Glitter Headband. I like silver. Also silver, a size 8 Female Empowerment Ring, sold on Avon for $5 with proceeds going to help victims of domestic violene. Nice price.

21. A Hand Chair. I found this in a store three years ago, the red plastic one, and they were selling it for $600!!!! I found one online for $70! This is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life, and I'm loving the colors black, yellow, blue and purple. I'm not a huge fan of the granite one though...just, you know, some extra information.
22. The Lorax. I love Seuss, and I don't have this book, my favorite of all Seusses.
23. Ramune. This stuff is so cool and good, I had a bottle once and I loved it, but I never knew what it was called or where to get it until I did a little research. Flavor I had: Strawberry. Flavors I'd imagine I'd like: Raspberry, Mango, Kiwi, Pineapple. Available at: The Asian Grocer on State
24. 3OH!3 Tickets. June 11. Festival pier. 3OH!3 and Cobra Starship. Penn's Landing in Philly, PA. I hope to be there. :]

*These are just some ideas. I don't expect any of these things, much less all of them. They're just ideas, complete with clickable links to pictures so you can get an idea. Zahts all. :]

    Today Is: April Fools Day and Do Something Undignified Day.
    Word of The Day: "Buffoon"
    Lesson Learned:
        The Yo-Yo was invented April 1, 1929.

The Selfish Lesson (Learned?)

    Last night, I cried because my TiVo erased the only recording I had left of The Mighty Boosh. Thats right, honest-to-goodness cried. I'd like to chalk it up to me being stressed out, overworked, exhausted and food-deprived. But that's not the real reason. The real reason those burning tears of frustration coursed their way down my ungrateful face was that I am a selfish child. I have a house, a warm bed with plenty of extra blankets [I think I have enough for them to finally be considered a collection], running water, electricity and, if I do say so myself, incredibly fashionable clothes.
    I have a job, a car, and a phone. I have an iPod, a phone and a camera [all broken in some way but still working] and many shelves brimming with well-thumbed books, and  heaps of movies. I have money in the bank, money in my iTunes account and money in my DragonBank [my version of a "piggybank"]. I have a brand new computer, enough money left over from cell phone bill, gas and car insurance payments that I can afford to see movies and buy organic clothes and eat healthy food and buy my friends presents. So why am I crying?
   Believe me when I say, I'm not usually like this at all. I used to have a pretty weak TV-watching-schedule, that mainly consisted of watching The Soup to see all the important parts of shows that I missed and listening to the daily "ohmygoddidyouseewhatHousedidlastnightandthenGreysAnatomywasonandIcouldnttearmyeyesaway" talk that my peers have. I occasionally watched talk shows, and then I limited myself to The Ellen Show and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson [I'm sorry, Oprah, but quite frankly I find you over-hyped. At least Ellen dances.]. Oh, and when Glee is on, I watch that. And of course, Supernatural-and How I Met Your Mother [<--god love you, NPH]. And all the BBC shows-okay fine. So I watch alot of shows! Judge me.
    But I don't get upset like this that often. I mean, sure, I get mad when someone erases one of my shows, but I dont cry about it. So what in the hell-o Kitty franchise-made me cry about a show that will probably be on again later this week, or at the very least will be on itunes to buy? I'll tell you what. I burned my toast yesterday morning.
    You're probably laughing right now, like toast doesn't matter: Im here right now to tell you that it does. A piece of bread represents the day ahead of you. Fresh, wholesome, healthy, and maleable. You cant mold it to your liking, make it how you want; you can put soy cheese on it, you can make grilled cheese, you can make a peanut butter sandwich, you can cut the crusts off and eat the bread whole, you can toast it, you can put soy butter on it, you can put an egg on it, you can use it as a Portkey (Amos, you can come out now, I know youre there...), you can scatter it for birds, you could put cinnamon sugar on it, you can feed woodland critters, you can put mayonaise on it and ruin it. Its your choice. But however you decorate/disfigure your bread, its your responsibility to make sure the outcome fits with how you want your day to turn out.
    And I apparently flushed my toast down the toilet. I mean I charred that sorry sucker up for all it was worth. Consequently, my day turned out as shit and I was reduced to a shivering pile of tears when I couldn't watch Boosh. This is my life.

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY:
Don't touch reindeer.
