That time of year again

My birthday and Christmas are coming up! So, here is my wish list for the year!

While we are in the realm of impossible:

  • A new laptop. A 15" Macbook Pro. I need an Intel Chip so I can run XP through parallels and test in IE (the devil).

    Though this is always a dangerous one to put on your lists because Apple always annouces new products in the first week of January.

  • An iPhone. Internet everywhere! Though, it looks like my family might be switching to Verizon, not AT&T. Shoot!
  • An apartment downtown

And the more serious requests:

  • A new bicycle (mine isn't pleasant to ride)
  • If that isn't possible, then my Dad's bike (with a tune up maybe?)
  • Some other bicycle. A road bike, with curvy handlebars. And maybe the fancy gear shifter breaks!
  • Saddle bags for a bike; I hope to do some bicycle commuting this year!
  • The book Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C
  • A new sweater. I like sweaters! Wool preferably. Durable, too?
  • A sewing book or class voucher of some sort?
  • Or sewing starter supplies
  • A bicycle maintenance and repair book, or a class voucher
  • A new desk. But I am minimalistic. I don't want any drawers or shelves or anything. Just a big surface. But it needs to have an adjustable height. A keyboard tray would be acceptable, but only if it had an adjustable height, too. Ergonomics are important, people!
  • An Arm for my monitor
  • A kitten
  • A new pillow? Mine is getting low on feathers
  • Another LaCie Brick 500gb hard drive. (They are cheaper than they were last year)
  • A Cowboy style belt buckle. Maybe with a horse on it?
  • A Ping Pong table
  • A car top carrier (I'm running out of ideas)

It really is hard for me to think of things I want. For the most part, I am very easy to please. Give me my laptop and a place to sleep! The problem is that I am not very interested in the little things. I don't like a lot of clutter. So, when I do want something, it is often expensive. Which makes it hard to give.

What are things other people want? I need some help here! Small stuff!
