OH! Forgot one!

Ohohohohoh--- I had another idea. I forgot. :)

My other idea was to write out a list of things I'd like, like a wishlist -- sort of as enticement for me to get out and do stuff, on the philosophy that if I actually KNOW my goals, I'd be more likely to go and...y'know...achieve them.

This was rejected because I was worried it would come across as materialistic or greedy, but I think it brings up an interesting point.

Why is it that it's harder to come up with ideas for things you want, gift ideas when you get older?
When I was younger, coming up with a birthday or Christmas wishlist was so fun! But now....it's hard!

I mean, sure, there's things I want -- but they're far away. Such as...to graduate. To go to grad school (I think). To have a nice car. To have an apartment/house. To figure out where the hell I'm going to end up living (country-wise). To have my parents heal the shit between them, at least so they can not be as tense when the other comes up in conversation, to have an internship at Pixar -- but even the material things on this list aren't things that could be realized very soon. Well, maybe the car if I win the lottery. :D (MINI!!!!!)

What about material things?
This is not a list that I'm making because I want people to get them for me. I want to know what I want, if that makes any sense at all.

(also, thank you, Lily Allen, for boosting my mood. It's really much appreciated.)

Sooooooo...

-PURPLE HIGH TOP CONVERSE. Yes, that deserves to be in all-caps. Totally.
-CDs...but which ones? Just ideas: Sheryl Crow, Metric, Muse, The XX, The Up Soundtrack, uh....Beyoncé, Sam Tsui, The Blanks, Arctic Monkeys, more Lily Allen, Kate Nash, more KT Tunstall, the Proclaimers.....Oh, definitely ideas there!!!
-A pair of jeans that actually FIT ME!!!! Gosh, wouldn't that be swell. I want jeans that make me look sexy!! (Who doesn't?)
-A pair of heels. Possibly boots. Not sure yet. But...something classy. :D
-Tickets to a concert.....: Lady Gaga, The Killers, Lily Allen, -- maybe a musical. Or Eddie Izzard!
-Cups of tea with my friends. :) Maybe they could make me coupons -- something like : This is good for one proper cup of tea with me at the earliest convenience! (the me referring to the friend -- that'd be nice.)

Hmm...I think that's the main ones. I mean, that took a while -- they didn't just jump into my mind. I had to really search for them.

Still, it's nice to say them. Wanting things is something simple, you know? It's a cope-with-able emotion. What's the word for that? Cope-with-able...manageable! That's what I was looking for. :)

Thanks for reading, all of you. :) It's nice to have you out there.
