Gifts

[bobquasit]

I don't think I'll be getting many gifts this Christmas. Teri and I can't afford to get anything for each other. And let me be clear: I'm definitely not doing that coy asking-their-flist-for-gifts crap that some people do (generally attractive young women who like to write about their interesting sex lives and post pictures of themselves half-dressed). I don't respect that.

But I know that one person from my family will have drawn my name from the hat. And on the off chance that they need ideas and are reading this (neither is particularly likely), I'm posting this list of things that I'd like:

1. A long warm scarf. My current scarf is thin and short; this morning I was really cold. Gray would be nice.
   
2. A shower mirror. I shave in the shower, and a mirror would make my life easier.
   
3. A large black fur hat like my grandfather used to wear. Not real fur, of course. My current wool hat looks stupid and tends to slowly rise up on my head, making me look ridiculous. The Cossack Diplomat Cap looks sort of like his hat did, except that I think his looked more like curly wool.
   
4. A USB portable hard drive, preferably 500 GB. This is too expensive, of course.
   

The nice thing about wanting mostly cheap things is that I can eventually buy them for myself!

Oh, jeeze. A permanent membership to LJ would be nice, too - even though I still don't trust SUP.
