Jumping on the wishlist bandwagon
For anyone interested in what I would like for my birthday, or Christmas:

1. Last year I asked for people to make donations to social justice organizations for my gifts, and I would like to do so again. Here are my top choices for organizations - these are all based on my own knowledge, and are local to me, so don't limit yourself to my suggestions if you know of other worthy causes.

- Communities Against Rape and Abuse, a Seattle-based activist organization working to end violence against marginalized communities
- Cocoon House, a Snohomish County organization which provides social services to homeless and at-risk youth (and where a good friend of mine works)
- Progressive Animal Welfare Society (the Seattle one), where I adopted Kershach, and which does good things for cats
- Solid Ground, a Seattle organization that supports disadvantaged communities with a social justice approach
- Refugee Women's Alliance, a Puget Sound organization that supports refugee and immigrant women and their families
- Real Change, Seattle-based poverty advocacy

Also, if you can let me know that you made a donation, by sending a card or an email, I'd love it.

2. I love fanworks of my D&D characters, like art or fic or figs (like the Nexus fig that lunapome made for me ^_____^). My current characters are Nexus from ratzeo's game and Danny from casaval's game, though I still (always) love to see things for Gwen (from chasdini's game) and Sae (from irishninja's game).

3. I could use a good kitchen knife (or two). I don't need anything fancy, but I only have one quality knife and sometimes that's a pain.

4. Season Four of Doctor Who on DVD. 8D

5. I am a tea addict and would love gift certificates to feed my Adagio addiction. XD

6. Also, my cat is spoiled and I would love gift certificates to spend at Mud Bay for his supplies.

7. Continuing the gift certificate theme: Amazon is my crack, and I order just about everything from there (books, music, even shoes ...).

8. And if that's not enough gift certificates, I also buy pretty much all my clothes from Macy's.

9. And for the ridiculous: a new computer? Mine is a few years old and keeps popping up with problems. :P

10. And for the really ridiculous: a kotatsu! (This is all niwatorimegami's fault. XD)

To anyone who plans to make use of this list: thank you in advance. :D

By the way, I find other people's lists reeeeaaallly useful when Christmas shopping ... *hint*

LoL, you should have scouted the Net for computer/laptop deals this past weekend! If not, ah well, there's always Christmas. ;)

What kind of kitchen knife do you have/like? The only ones I end up really liking are the cheap mini butcher knives that I find in Asian supermarkets. =/ (Note: I probably won't get you a knife since shipping a knife seems... dangerous, haha. This is just me interested in seeing how other people rule their kitchen. ;D)

	Heh, yeah, I think I'm waiting until after Christmas to deal with computer stuff. I'm spending my money on gifts right now, so I shouldn't take on extra expenses. :P The knife I have is from my mom, and I think it's the kind of knife you're describing, too. :D (And yeah, I understand that it's probably not a good idea to try mailing a knife to someone. XD) (Reply to this) (Parent)
