Things you should totally buy me for my birthday

The countdown is on.  And you didn’t get me anything last year.¹  So here’s a good list of stuff I really want that I don’t currently have.

• A metal Pica pole ruler.  Like this one.
• Any of these books.
• I also have another wish list here.
• Cruelty-free shoes/clothes that don’t suck.
• Comic-making materials, though the only things I can think of are rather expensive, although, if you can find an artist’s model that’s better than this one, I’d really like that.
• A nice Chinese chess set or a nice set of Go stones.
• Moleskines, specifically the plain pocket reporter or über-mini plain volant varieties. (I’ll eventually buy these in bulk.)
• Soda pop.  I drink that like flavored, carbonated water.
• I’m probably going to need a new backpack soon.
• A mac-compatible mouse.  My last one was stolen a few months ago.
• My friend Mayra always gets me awesome books that I hadn’t read before but should have.  You could ask how she does it.

  Oh, who am I kidding, I’ve basically just made myself a shopping list for the next year.  I’ll totally be glad if you just remember when my birthday is.  If you need a hint, I’ve mentioned it before . . .

1. I know, because even my parents didn’t get me anything… they didn’t even call.  [↩]
