So I was going to buy some sex toys...
But I wound up buying another book on Quantum Mechanics again.
True story. It's written by David Bohm, and he takes a practical and chronologically-relevant approach supplemented by proofs and analytical explanations. I have to brush up on Fourier analysis though.
But in other news.
I've gotten distracted fom Nanowrimo by another story I'm working on for a contest, and another one I just came up with tonight. Exciiiiiting. I've also been playing Animal Crossing like crazy, and Spock and I are working on our town. We have almost every fruit! We just need oranges! I'm currently working on breeding hybrid flowers and pretty much trying to get our town to have a "perfect" status. My house is fully expanded now, so I could do this, because I'm not going to throw half a million bells just to get a stupid flag outside my house. I've also been again, trying to talk myself out of attempting suicide again like I did in July. But I'm trying.... I just have three exams this week, one of which I finished earlier today. It was an engineering exam, and we had two hours, but shit, was there a lot to do in it. I finished it completely though, so I'm just glad about that.
I also have a Psychology exam and a Physics exam this week. Fun stuff. So I'll be doing that. I'm also supposed to be working on that Gorillaz drawing contest. Wow, I've got a lot planned, don't I? On top with working out almost every day, I'm too busy to die yet.
But one of these days...
Anyway, meme time:
STEP ONE
# Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV"). The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
# If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
# Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
STEP TWO
# Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part...
# If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - do it.
# You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf - to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not - it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
Note: Any item sent to me, depending on when, will either be sent to my house in Corpus, but most likely here in College Station either to mime_king 's address or Spock's PO box. Just tell me beforehand if you might be able to and when, and I'll give you the address.
1. Once I'm able to figure out how to get my university's wifi on my Wii, I want someone who plays Animal Crossing to send me their friend code so we could hang out.
2. A t-shirt with Baphomet on it, or a Nietzsche quote. Bonus points for "God is Dead" WITH Baphomet. I go to an ultra-conservative school, and dammit I need new t-shirts! Must be black.
3. A Deathstars t-shirt. I don't need any of the expensive ones (although some of them are cool, although I find the one of Whiplasher holding the baby confusing), and I don't want any of the tour shirts, because I never went to a tour because I don't live in Europe. But I'm leaning towards the Blitzkrieg helmet shirt. Sizes and preferences, inquire within! (A small in male or female is acceptable. I AM that skinny. Just as long as it's a small, it's fine. Any larger, I'll be drowned in it).
4. More of these! Don't worry, I already have the t-shirt. Conversely, if you want to whet my microbiology appetite, you can give me one of these you find may suit me. Honestly, I already have the Higgs Boson and Dark matter, but I want a Strange Quark, Tachyon and or a Photon. Mostly leaning towards the Photon or Strange Quark though. But I'll literally love any one of them. Nothing String Theory related though, because I really couldn't take it seriously anymore once I learned about M-Theory. With the Giant Microbes, I'm cool with any of them, since I gave all of mine away already. So ANY of the Calamities are fitting (3 guesses to my favorite). But seriously, I want all of them. I like anything with Clostrium in its genus, because I really really want perfringes (gangrenge) but a difficile is fine too. I like Toxic Mold a lot, but the one I want the MOST is BIG AIDS (the largest plush).
5. Any book by Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawking, as long as none of them are biographies of any kind. I've got A Brief History of Time already though, but I don't care for the Briefer History so much. I'm leaning more towards A Demon Haunted World by Sagan and On the Shoulders of Giants by Hawking. I also want my own copy of The God Particle, because I still technically have a borrowed copy I should give back one day. >_>
6. The book The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean. Lol nonfiction. I love it.
7. Someone from the internet to visit me here at my university. You know you want to.
8. A bass guitar.
9. An Israeli gas mask. I have the Russian GP-5 already for those who haven't seen it.
10. Pretty much, a cool t-shirt in olive green or black with a biohazard symbol or a radioactive symbol. You know, very me, but basic. Something like this could most certainly be found in one of those websites like Cafe press or something. I also want a shirt with an octopus or a moth. A cool octopus or moth or a gas mask . Though, something artistic, not cute. I hate cute shit. The shirts I posted links to are perfect (and fuck if I care if the moth one is in women's, I'll need a small anyway, and I need more v-necks). But shirts like that are pretty much preferable, and needn't have to be from Cafe press specifically, or one of those linked ones. I like minimal, if not, little text. The moth shirt is a good example of the little text I'll be able to tolerate. Cthulhu shirts are highly appreciated. And remember, this applies to all shirts, if it's available in black and a small, get it. Next best color is olive green, and any other good dark color can go from there. I also really really like sugar skulls, but I'm not pressing for any of these, because I can be picky about them. Just use you judgment, and know that I like dark, basic, realistic with minimal or preferably not text the most. Those four must be satisfied, but they're not hard to satisfy. (Lol I'm such a bitch.)
There we go! That's my holiday list! In all honesty though, with things that someone could purchase, I really want a t-shirt the most, a book second, and a plush toy the least amount. I really just need t-shirts, and I need more a variety, so I really want one of the shirts listed in 10 or Deathstars shirt. Of my most preference with books, I want The Disappearing Spoon. Of plushes? Any of the ones I listed. But yeah, I'll be quiet about this now. I'm just being greedy. >_>
