(no subject)
This is the first year that I had problems with composing a wishlist - and I do socialize with a lot of people on my Russian-language blog, so I was asked for one.
Somehow all my wishes this year fall into three categories: (1) requires a lot of money - more than I could comfortably accept from anyone; (2) I'll do this myself, thanks; and (3) expendables, which usually, to me, sound too rude on wishlist - I can't ask people to give me, for example, gel pens with violet ink, even though I love them and they are hard to find, or writeable DVDs, stuff like that.
In the end I still managed by listing nicer-sounding expendables, but still. I wonder whether this tendency will go on.
(Oh, and of course now that people can't buy me fandom-related gifts, it also complicates things in fandom-related circles.)
