russian roulette is not the same without a gun

Maybe I should take back a little bit of what I said about my imminent birthday.

I really shouldn't say that I don't want anything - that would be lying.

But it wasn't when I said I wanted sincere things.

And you know what, the 'things' don't even have to be material.

So there.

But if it helps, here's a list of what I do want.

1. Books

Okay I don't know why but lately I've been having harsh cravings for books.

Amy Sackville's The Still Point

Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Sense & Sensibility

Clara Vidal's Like A Thorn

Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre

Or I don't know, any other timeless books.

But books in paperback and a beautiful cover are the best, are they not?

Like this one.

This one is pretty and vintage.

2. Scented candles & soaps

I have no idea why either but I just want them.

They're soothing and calming and are so lovely.

3. Anything pretty & whimsical

Antique things.

Anything that looks dated.

Anything that doesn't look like it fits in this present day and time.

As an illustration, this.

4. Strange Clouds - B.o.B

Okay this is the only specific thing I want from HMV.

5. Anything you think would make me happy

Anything in the world, really.

But well, in all honesty, receiving anything would be a pleasure in itself.

I just want the friendly, loving vibes!
