So, I think I finally have it. Woo. Anyway, the whole point of this exercise is... Christmas list! I'm sure you do it too: every year, when someone asks you what you want for christmas, your faces goes totally blank and you can't think of anything- but ten minutes later, you remember something you'd absolutely kill for. Right? So... the solution! This way, when someone asks me what I want, I can refer them here. Hoorah! It's at the top because, well, that way I don't have to go looking for it, and so forth. PLUS, when I see stuff I want, I can come back and EDIT IT ON. OMG I am a genius. ;)

So without further ado: EVERYTHING I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS.

1. A good mascara and eyeliner. Especially mascara.
2. A good warm stylish winter jacket.
3. Going Postal by Terry Pratchett
4. Chocolate!
5. A good Beethoven CD. With the Fifth. Mm.
6. A viola!?
7. Newford books by Charles de Lint.
8. Clothing. Especially a good new pair of blue jeans. And warm stuff.
9. Poetry by Jenny Bornhaldt.
10. Actually, any poetry.
11. A good book to write poetry in.
12. One of the Discworld books I don't have. Men at Arms would be good.
13. Because you have to ask the impossible once or twice: A copy of any of the YW books I don't already own. (I own SYWTBAW, DW, Alone and Holiday.) HW would be good.
14. A complete Shakespeare, OR a book of the Sonnets.

I have "Going Postal" It is very, VERY good. Also, you might also want another of his new books, "The Hat Full Of Sky" If you don't already have it.
Isn't Discworld the greatest? :D

I'm sure it is. Sigh. I've got A Hat full of Sky, though. :D

7. Newford books by Charles de Lint.

I <3 Charles de Lint. I'd never even heard of him till I stumbled across Waifs and Strays earlier this year.

*nodnodnods* He's great, isn't he? I heard of him when he published The Onion Girl a year or so ago- it got good reviews here- but never got round to reading it until I was in Washington and founf moonlight and Vines and The Ivory and the Horn earlier this year... I'm really loving the Newford short stories at the moment.
