Alright, I decided that I would never have time to keep up on anything here. I am simply too busy and this site is not a very high priority for me any longer. However, for simplicity's sake, I have decided to keep the wishlist on here for relatives. |

Wishlist:
Note to potential gift-buyers: Hey! This past year has been a big year for me. New responsibilities and new expenses have found their way to my door... I suppose that it is simply part of becoming an adult. And this coming year looks to be even bigger than the last! Because I am attempting to be fiscally responsible within circumstances that are new to me and seem to be in a constant state of flux, there are a few gifts that you could get me that would be oh-so-very-appreciated.
Specially Needed Gifts: * Money. This is a big one. Between college expenses, work expenses, Uncle Sam wanting more than his fair share, and many many many other newly found expenses and responsibilities, I find myself with a greater need for finances than I have ever previously needed. Although I am not yet "Strapped for cash" as the saying goes, I could be eventually if I do not watch my funds closely. Any monetary gift you give will help to relieve some of the stress and worry that comes with my desire to use my money in a wise manner. Gift cards to Quik Trip are very useful as well. * A VERY VERY heavy-duty backpack for use at college. It needs to be able to withstand months or years of heavy wear-and-tear.
Now... Back to your regularly scheduled wishlist. :D
MISC: * Really big, old fashioned, sturdy, chest * Lots of sketching/drawing pads of paper * A loose-leaf tea strainer thingy (ask my mother about it)
MUSIC: * Celtic or Medieval Music, preferably instrumental.
BOOKS: Note: I don't like paperback books. I know that it isn't always possible to find hardback versions of these, but whenever possible shoot for hardback.
