christmas wish list 2012



EEP! Santa, I am so sorry, I meant to put out my Christmas wishlist out for you to read on December the 1st, but last month I was doing nanowrimo, caught a very severe case of verbal diarrhoea (XD I’ll write a post about that in due time) and didn’t feel recovered enough until today to send my Christmas wishlist to you! My primary school buddy Cass tells me that you still accept Christmas wishlists after December the 1st; I sure hope she’s correct! Anyways, Santa, here’s what I’m after this year:
(1)            A book by M.K Hume – I found out about this author through the Logan City council libraries monthly e-newsletter; he was doing some author visit to this Logan City council library, and I thought he sounded pretty interesting, so I’d like one of his novels to try reading, please!
(2)            Scattergories – think this may have been on my Christmas wishlist last year … I remember playing this game once with the letter ‘u’, and some silly sod filled in a colour beginning with the letter ‘u’ as ‘urine’! XD but this game sounds promisingly fun! (A/N: kwany bought this game for me last wednesday! you can go choose something else from my wish list and buy me that instead! XD)
(3)            Hunger Games, book two – Kylie and Mel, I remember you guys bought me the first book when we met up for Christmas last year/my birthday this year; how about you guys buy me the second book for Christmas? XD
(4)            I Hate Everyone – Starting With Me by Joan Rivers – okay, I have no idea how this book appeared on my Christmas wishlist for this year; I presume I must’ve been feeling not the best when I stumbled over this title. XD
(5)            Girl: the Ultimate Guide to Being You by Anna Barnes – lol, I’m not entirely sure how I would benefit from a book teaching me how to be me, but hey, it sounds interesting! XD
(6)            The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking – again, I can’t quite remember how this title made it into my Christmas wishlist for 2012, coz I think I’m a fairly positive person and I honestly try my hardest to not let the cruel and unfaithful God get me down too often, but hey. XD
(7)            The Boy Who Wouldn’t Die – this title sounds intriguing. I mean, who was trying to kill him? Why? And how come he wouldn’t die?
(8)            Band-aid For a Broken Leg – obviously, I must be attracted to books with absurd titles, because obviously, a band-aid sure as hell won’t fix a broken leg! XD
(9)            Age of Miracles by Karen Walker – this sounds like a fantasy title to me… and me being a big fantasy novel buff, someone please get me this book for Christmas!
(10)         Hello Panda strawberry flavoured – originally, I thought these little delicacies (they come thirteen to one pack) only came in chocolate flavour, but I recently found out that they came in strawberry flavour too! This is the one food item on my Christmas wishlist this year~
(11)         The Mansion of Happiness – a History of Life and Death by Jill Lepore – again, some random book that made it into my Christmas wishlist. XD hey, it sounds interesting!
(12)         Salvage by Jason Nahrung – yet another book I can’t remember how it made my Christmas wishlist for 2012, but if I wrote it down, it must look promising. XD
(13)         Black Mountain by Venero Armanno – teeheehee, I keep running into titles I have no recollection of ever finding, but hey, like I said for the last title, if I wrote it down, it must look promising! XD
(14)         Westlife – our story – righteo, this one’s a must-have! I can’t believe that just when I was about to go see their live concert, the cruel and unfaithful god completely wrecked my life with the disabling brain tumour, and now they’ve finished!!! >< *distraught* even worse, Westlife are so unpopular in Brisbane their albums aren’t even sold here, so could I please ask one of my awesome cousins from Hong Kong or my aunty Amelia from Canada to please get and send that for me? Puh-lease?? XD
(15)         Into that Gorest by Louis Nowra – okay, I honestly can’t remember anything about why I thought this book was so appealing, but like the previous two, will someone please get me it? ^^
(16)         The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers – hmm … I’m not at all a bird-watcher; not sure why this book got into my Christmas wishlist, but hey, it must be worth a read. XD
(17)         The Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling – well, Santa, if you don’t accept late Christmas wishlists, I’ll still content myself with the fact I’ll get this book – my awesome Australian godmother has already said she’d get it for me. XD
(18)         Earth Unaware – okay, I confess: I have absolutely zero idea if this is a book, a movie or something else completely random, but hey, if I listed it, it must be worth getting! Thanks in advance, someone! XD
(19)         69 days in Europe – Di and Bill Perkins – Perky, I had to include the book by you and Bill onto my Christmas wishlist! How about you get me this for Christmas and also give me some feedback on the fifty thousand word novel I bashed out last month?? XD
you will all note that I haven’t included a walking stick into my wishlist this year; last year, my awesome half-aunty aunty Amelia did send me one, but my evil mother immediately took it away, hid it and wouldn’t even lemme see it until I asked to just look at it! Nowadays, she uses the stick only to gleefully force me to do more stupid exercises for her … talk about the total waste of good equipment … ><
Anyways, again, santa, I apologise for the lateness of my Christmas wishlist for this year, but I sincerely hope you can find some Christmas elves to get me all these cool pressies~ now go forth, and secure me Christmas presents!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
