Because invariably when I'm asked what I'd like for my birthday I freeze up and forget everything I know, I'm making a list. I don't expect anything from my friends as I know life is rough all the time. But, some have asked and there are things that I would like, so this should make it easier on all involved. If you happen to have any of this just gathering dust I'd be thrilled to give it a good home. Really though? I'd love cards from those who care. Cards are awesome. If you need an address you can either contact Lynn via his apisanthrop account or check here.


1. Hard Drive: This can be a number of diffferent options. I have an enclosure to make a laptop drive into an external, an actual external would be awesome, but missing all that an internal drive with an IDE would be just fine too. I really need more than 40gig but mostly I just need a place to start building up my music collection again after a storm wiped it all out.

2. Books: There really is no such thing as too many books and while I do want them all I have been working on getting a few certain ones. Storm Rising by Mercedes Lackey, Owlknight by Mercedes Lackey, Exile's Honor by Mercedes Lacky to finish off a couple of sets. Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman to replace those stolen from me. Paperback is actually preferred to match in with the rest of the series.

3. Socks: I love, love socks. I love funky fun socks that have cute things on them. I'm not huge on pink but black, blue, and purple are always in my wardrobe. I have lots of fuzzy socks for cool days but I could use more fun socks to wear when we're out and about.

4. Wii Games: I adore our Lego Star Wars: The Complete Sage and find it a ton of fun. I'd love to add Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure, Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, Lego Harry Potter, and Lego Batman to the small collection of games we have for the Wii.

5. Booster Packs: I've been really hoping to get more of the in game items from City of Heroes / Villains. I still need to pick up the Good Vs Evil, the Cyborg, Mac edition, Magic, and the Superscience Pack. This is a game that no matter how lame you may think it is, has saved me on several occasions. It has given me people to talk to and somewhere to feel needed when I had nowhere else to turn and my world seemed to be falling apart. I'd love to have some of the cool little bonus things.

6. Wish Lists: Besides all that, there're links to Amazon, Think Geek and Bed, Bath & Beyond on my sidebar. I would be ecstatic to get some of the shirts from Think Geek, BB&B is mostly house stuff that we love, and Amazon is everything else. Also gift cards to any book store or Michael's is always very appreciated. I could easily spend hundreds in either one and still feel like I was leaving too much behind.
