Stuff I'd Like

In the interest of being able to look up what sort of stuff I like, here's a list. Updated sporadically.

For the extensive joy of Caryatid, I herein provide my birthday: April 23. If you forget, go ask Chadius. Or my father-in-law.

These items are more or less in order by preference:

• A computer headset -- the kind you'd use for skype calls. Should be compatible with my Mac.
• A gift card to anywhere you can find that sells bras (or swimsuits) in 28E-FF. No, really. Try Europe. In fact, Bravissimo now has them.
• A pair of lightish weight flannel pajama pants (dark colors/plaid/etc), size about a ladies medium
  • Something like this (okay, it might not be dark, but it's PURPLE.)
• under armour coldgear mock neck shirt, XS. Neutral color (black preferably, or grey). Something like this. (Note, I am specifically looking for the compression fit and warmth.)
• under armour heatgear capris, S. I know, I hate capris. But, these are the right thing to wear to bike in the summer.
• under armour coldgear compression tights, S, black. (There might be two different types like 'frosty' and 'outdoor' or something. As long as it says "coldgear" it's good.)
• A Marathon gift card for personal training.
• A gift card for an hour massage at Marathon (Yes, this is now a regular fixture.) You might have to call, but there's a phone number on their Contact Us page.
• The new Capitol Steps album
• An outdoor watering can. I think I'll want at least a gallon of capacity. And the kind that "sprinkles" instead of "pours".
• One of those inch thick foldable gym mats
• A set of free weights
  • 1lb increments up to 5lbs
  • 2.5lb increments from 5 up to about 30
• Stands to hold the weighs and exercise balls
• iTunes gift card
• A smallish, cheap backpack. I want just enough space to carry a textbook, maybe two, and my laptop in its shiny new neoprene sleeve thing. And a pencil.
• CD's to add to my music collection (see link for specifics.)
• Gift cards: Home Depot, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond
• Gift cards: Kohls, Macy's, Victoria's Secret, R.E.I. (Which one of these is not like the others?)
• The Errorwear BSOD girly shirt in a medium (or, for bonus points, see if you can actually get in touch with them and find out whether they ever intend to get small. I sure can't.)
• high-quality milk chocolate, plain or with hazelnut
• PMC donations -- eGift ID CB0167. This is great for my birthday, less so around Christmas time (due to the mid-October deadline). Sadly, I will probably not participate in 2010 either due to the recent house purchase.

Crimes already perpetrated:

• An awesome ninja mask like Nybble's. DONE - Thanks Nybs!
• A big doggy bed monogrammed "CAT". DONE - Thanks Dad&Nancy!
• A ps2 memory card I can write my own name on so I know where the heck my saves are. DONE - Thanks Aurora!

• Noir OST2 soundtrack DONE - Morrigu still loves me!
• Geek Guitar: iAxe. DONE - Thanks, Utter Chaos!
• New headphones that will fit my teensy child-sized skull, and not make my glasses pinch my ears (preferably with with 1/4" stereo audio adapter -- see above link.) DONE - Thanks dear!
• Professional massage DONE - thanks Morrigu! However, if I decide I like it, this may become a regular fixture on my wishlist. ;)
• A small yoga matt to do stretches, sit-ups and stuff at home DONE - Thanks Caryatid!
• The ThinkGeek "Meh" babydoll DONE - Thanks Mom!
• A basic set of high-quality bonsai tools (I have one set of clippers, and don't know what gauge wire I need.) DONE - Thanks Dad&Nancy. Thanks!
• A new laptop to replace my ailing pre-'01 post-Arepalyptic craptop. (Yes, this one is a joke. Mostly.) Hey look, I found a MacBook. Crazy.
• An EZPass for Kurama. (Fast Lane marginally acceptable.) DONE - Thanks Mom!
• Cotton undies (at least 94% cotton) with low rise and no elastic around the legs, size SM, in any color that doesn't have too much pink/yellow/orange on it DONE - Thanks Mom!
• One of those protective little sleeves for my macbook so I can put it in a backpack or carry it around. (Preferably in black.) DONE - Thanks Dad!
• In-ear headphones that will work better for my tiny ears than earbuds do. DONE - Thanks Dad!
• The ThinkGeek "Got Root?" hooded girly T (small) DONE - Thanks UC, for snagging this before they ran out!
• The ThinkGeek 304 tank top (also small) DONE - Thanks UC!
• Think Geek's 'warranty' undies, probably in a size 1. DONE - Thanks UC!
• A hands-free type thing for my cell phone. No clue what kind I'd want (or even what's out there) so pretty much -- don't spring for anything fancy! But, then I could talk to mom and my sis while I make dinner without causing any major disasters. DONE - Thanks dear!
• A shiny new house. DONE - Thanks mom, 'gu, me, Redfin, Dardeno law offices, and BofA!

• A magnetic white board, something like this. DONE - Thanks Gu!
• 8" and 10" skillets, like these DONE - Thanks Chris & Meghan & Meghan's Mom!

• A dustbuster/dirt-devil type little vacuuming thing. DONE - Thanks, Arlington email list! (and Gail, in particular.)

• The enough social interaction babydoll, size S DONE - Thanks Mom!
