My (LJ)holiday_wishes wish list. :)
Dec. 6th, 2010 02:15 am( Here's the original post. )
I'm Simone. That's a pseudonym for internet-tiems, but I do give my real name when I give my address. I'm a 26-year-old US Army wife (and attempted US Sailor) from Florida who just spent three years stationed in Alaska and now the husband and I are stationed in New York. What I want the most is to go to Florida in late December and avoid any more white Christmases (all they do to me is remind me that I'm far from home, no matter how beautiful they are), but that's unlikely unless I drink the crazy juice and try to drive my behind down there over ice and snow.
I'm looking forward to seeing how I can make someone's holiday season a little happier. In the meantime, here's my list. :)
1. Yarn. Anything but tough wool, medium to extra chunky in weight. I love to crochet.
2. My wish list. :)
3. Geordi La Forge/Data slash!fic. Ideally looong and in-character.
4. A compact, fuel-efficient car or a motorcycle that someone who's 5'1" could drive comfortably. Go big or go home, right? I'm an army wife and the army will only pay to ship one car, and my husband (the service member) has priority over that car, which makes getting a real job hard for me. A motorcycle could be shipped with our household goods and not count as a separate vehicle. Preferably something European because my stepdad is really familiar with them and would be able to help me with maintenance and repairs.)
5. Amazon.com gift cards. My email address is heathermac614@gmail.com.
6. A custom LJ layout. Because I can't do it on my own, and ye Flying Spaghetti Monster have I tried!
7. TV shows from outside the US on DVD. I plan to get a pan-regional DVD player but in the meantime I know I can watch DVDs from other regions on my computer. I am trying so hard to break out of the American Bubble but it's hard when you don't really know what to look for. I like sci-fi and law enforcement/military dramas and comedy. (Especially stuff from Australia and New Zealand. I want to move to Australia someday.)
8. A kitchen table and chairs. A nice set with a leaf, but that's small enough to fit in what passes for a dining area in junior enlisted housing.
9. Books from outside the US. In English, please. I'm pretty good at parsing regional spelling/grammar differences. Especially sci-fi, historical fiction and young adult. :)
10. Stickers. Especially cute ones, though they don't have to be cute.
