( Meme Instructions )The List1. A Better WorldYou may remember this from
last year's list. I've been feeling selfish and uninterested in this one for most of the last week, but now that I'm over my cold, and I remember that this is truly what I want most.
2.
amatia and/or
schuyler to be my date to my cousin's New Year's Eve wedding receptionI know that in the real world, there are time, distance, and money issues to get in the way, but this is a fantasy world, and in the fantasy world, one of them goes with me.
3. MailYou have no idea how much I love getting mail.
4. Additional female friends in my areaI'm not lonely in a general sense, but I am lonely for female friends I can spend time with here. I do spend time with the boys every week, and I love them, but there are a lot of things we don't talk about, and there are movies I won't go to with them, even if they would go with me. I had two good female friends I could talk to and spend time with, but one's very busy and the other's moving to New Orleans just after Christmas.
5. Good Klaus/Dorian Eroica ficPreferably long, preferably with a mission, preferably romantic.
6. Fruit of the Earth Skin Cooling Aloe Vera lotion in a store near me in sizes larger than 4 oz.I just ordered this from Amazon because I can't find it anywhere around here, and believe me I've looked.
7. A MassageI'm not comfortable going to a massage therapist I know, but I also don't know very many people who get massages who I could ask for recommendations. The last time I had a massage, the woman used way too much massage oil.
8. A New MicrowaveMy old microwave was a hand-me-down from someone who'd had it for a very long time. It has dials for power and time instead of digital buttons, and it doesn't heat evenly. I want a new one that's not too big but big enough for an 11-inch dinner plate in black or metal, or possibly red. I keep thinking I should buy myself one, but I'm too lazy to do any research and see what I might want.
9. A DateI don't mean this in a desperate, "I'm getting old and I'm going to die alone" sort of way, more in a curious, "I've never been on a date, and it sounds like it could be fun" sort of way. If you know women in my area I might like, send them my way.
10. Rags to Riches to come out on DVDI have no idea what made me think of this.
Rags to Riches was my favorite show when it was on. I'd love to be able to Netflix it and see if it's any good. My guess is no, but it might surprise me.
