Hoorah, Summer has ended! Technically I’m sad about this, because I am a *complete* cold frog and truly *hates* the Winter months but I’m also excited because my birthday falls in the first month of Autumn (March) so let the monthlong celebrations begin! Hmm … Microsoft Word doesn’t recognise the word ‘monthlong’ because I get the red squiggly line denoting a spelling mistake, but if ‘weeklong’ and ‘yearlong’ are accepted as being proper words, then why can’t monthlong? XD
Three years ago, a Facebook friend taught me that I was
allowed to celebrate my birthday not only on the day that it fell on but for
the entire MONTH; I thought that it was a grand idea and immediately adopted
the practice. XD Horrid mother disdainfully jeers at me that the person who suggested
that to me isn’t a real friend but actually trying to harm me; who’s gonna help
me when I eat myself into a fat pig and become even more disabled than I
already am, huh? For my part, I’m gonna just ignore her like she’s always
ignoring me: she’s a total party pooper and I’m unsure why she so *desperately*
tries to keep me socially isolated and totally dependent on her; instead, I’m
gonna compose my birthday wishlist and hope everyone brings me lotsa presents!
XD Oh, like monthlong I’m also ignoring the red squiggly line under wishlist;
it looks fine being one word to me. Prolly why I was nothing amazing in year
twelve English: just an A- average. XD So, here’s what I’m hoping to get for my
birthday this year!
(1)
Books – I’m always gonna be asking
for more books. It’s a trait I inherited from mother; we both love reading
heaps! It matters not one jot that the cruel and unfaithful God has left me so
fricking slow at reading after he so wantonly destroyed my whole life with the
disabling brain injury that it nearly takes me one month to read through one
book; the fact is that I’ve always loved reading and I’ll be damned before I
let Him take away my love of reading too because, in His infinite cruelty,
hasn’t He taken away enough already?? My favourite genres are fantasy, science
fiction and historical fiction, but I’m willing to give anything bar Mills and
Boon a try. XD I also enjoy reading memoirs, so if you know any good ones,
please send a copy my way! Actually, could someone please get me The Silver
Brumby books? I discovered this series after I found Black Beauty in Year Two
and loved reading them; even better, someone had turned the Silver Brumby into
an animated TV series! Unfortunately, the parents and I used to live in this
little niche in Shalier Park that barely had any television reception and I was
never able to watch The Silver Brumby coz channel Ten aired it but this year I
suddenly thought ooh maybe it’s on YouTube? Sure enough, all the episodes are
on YouTube and I’ve been very happily watching them! Oh, while we’re on the
topic of horse stories, could someone also please get me Walter Farley’s The
Black Stallion series? I remember really loving that series too, when I was a
wee one.
(2)
Teddy – something else I always
ask for whenever I put out a wishlist. All my teddies are loved and all have
names, although I will sheepishly admit that I have one teddy named John Doe
and another named John Doe 2. XD More female teddies wouldn’t go amiss either;
for some reason, the majority of my teddies are boys?
(3)
Minions – if Minions2 can finally
be released this year (it was supposed to come out last year/the year
before/the year before that, but was delayed one year/more due to COVID-19),
because there’s already been three Despicable Me movies and after the second Minions
movie, I suppose the franchise will come to an end. Oh well, all good things
must come to an end. I’m pretty sure my entire church family at BCAC knows that
I’m totally obsessed with these little, yellow, jellybean-shaped totally
incompetent creatures; I mean, what’s not to love about them?? XD More Minions
please, BA-NA-NA!!
(4)
Electric wheelchair – this can be
the expensive item I ask for. When the NDIS first came in several years back, a
church physio uncle advised the parents to get me a new electric wheelchair
because the funding scheme for them was being stopped/replaced. After the new
electric wheelchair arrived, I very excitedly asked mother was she gonna book
our tickets back to
(5)
Pet – Yes, I will forever be
horribly guilty of the manslaughter of poor Silver and Bronze back in 2008; my
only defence is that I honestly had zero idea that goldfish were so wimpy that
they required a heater installed into their fish tank to keep them warm lest
they perish from the cold! But they’ve been gone for more than a DECADE now and
surely I can be trusted with a live pet again?? XD If not, somebody please find
Luke MacCourt and tell him that I’m still waiting for my PET ROCK! When Luke
first mentioned them I thought he was just pulling my leg but when I went home
and Googled ‘pet rocks’ I found that there were actually entire WEB
(6)
Zoombinis – Fiona So, you may be
the only one that knows what I’m talking about. Decades ago, when we were in
primary school, I’d often crash her place some afternoon and we’d play this
adorable PC game called Zoombinis for hours. Zoombinis are little round purple
beings and your task was to get them to their version of heaven. To do so, you
had to complete all these little tasks that I think were like logic puzzles.
Can’t remember when we stopped playing that game, but Fi did tell me that she
doesn’t have that game anymore. Can anyone please find me a copy? I’d love to
play Zoombinis again~
(7)
KFC – hey, I just realised that
KFC can stand for both Korean Fried Chicken and Kentucky Fried Chicken! XD I’m
referring to the former, BTW~ Seeing as I’m reaching a new half-DECADE old this
year, can I please have a birthday party? Especially if mother once more tries
so *desperately* to keep me socially isolated she’ll only lemme out for one
meal celebration, like she did for Christmas last year. I’ve heard somewhere
there’s actually an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT
(8)
Trench coat – I’ve never been
really much into fashion, even prior to the brain injury. Typical jeans and tee
girl, me. XD However, with Winter approaching and me being a complete cold
frog, could someone please get me a trench coat for my birthday? I’m probably
the most unfashionable person in the world and have absolutely zero idea how
much a trench coat costs nor even where one gets trench coats from but I’ve
always thought they look cool and they look warm, so I’d like one please!
(9)
Pedometer watch – I think that’s
what they’re called? I mean the thing you wear on your arm that looks like a
watch but actually counts how many steps you walk each day. I’d need one that
has a clock too and resets itself every midnight; ones you can manually reset
don’t work coz my demented left hand (who wears the watch since I’m
right-handed) doesn’t know where she is in space and may bang along things I’m
struggling to walk past and reset itself. The current one I was wearing
recently perished and mother has ordered me a new one through EBay; in the
meantime, she’s downloaded one onto my mobile and I just carry my bag with my
phone inside it all day long, but I’m unsure how accurate it is… Two days ago, I
barely cleared one thousand steps and apparently the average person does TEN
thousand steps everyday!
(10)
Frosties – what wishlist would be
complete without a food item? Fair enough, the Korean fried chicken was already
a food item but I’m asking for that more as a birthday party; for my own hungry
tummy I’m hoping someone will get one box of unhealthy cereal for me! Frosties
comes to mind … ohh, there’s even NESQUIK cereal; someone please get me a box!
I’ve always loved mixing chocolate Nesquik powder into plain milk; the cereal
version must taste delicious!
Yikes I’ve already asked for ten
different things; I’d best stop before readers decide I’m greedy and therefore
don’t deserve ANY presents for my birthday. XD Still, I reserve the right to
add to this should I come up with anything else that comes to mind!
Unkind mother has jeered at me
before that nobody reads these silly posts of mine but I know that’s UNTRUE coz
in my Xmas wishlist last year I asked Santa to please bring me a POM POM pen –
and he brought me THREE! True, I believe two were from mother herself. XD
Hmm … I suppose more than asking
for things I like catching up with people more … you can see this desire
obviously clashes with mother’s weird NEED to like keep me socially isolated …
but don’t let that distract you; your job now is to go out there and secure me
birthday presents! Come one, come all: join in with my monthlong celebration.
XD
Next post here … prolly how I
spent this birthday, due six months later! Unless Minions2 comes out first? Coz
I’ve gotta see that and definitely write a blog post movie review about it!
Actually, I may as well just write a post about the Minions. XD
Righteo, until then~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
