Seven Sins Meme: Day Five: Greed
“To greed, all nature is insufficient.”
-- Seneca
1. A Teleporter. Seriously, this would end my problems with getting to see so many of the people who understand me best. I would have gotten to meet Weaves and Debi years ago. I could see a lot of my closest online people, that I talk to weekly, more than once a year. Best friends. Girlfriend. Family more than one every five years.
Plus, it would make traveling to brand new places even easier. And should it ever come to be, I'd probably have to give up a limb just to get to use it each time. But WANT.
2. Ipad.I want to play with one. At least for a week or two. I'm not positive that I actually want to own one. For the same reasons as the iphone but extended. It cannot carry my whole music collection, and I do not pick-n-play with my music. On top of this, it is closer to a mini-computer than a phone, ipod or kindle device, but it doesn't have a really serviceable sized key board that will help me with typing very long windedly. And if you haven't noticed I need that...well.
But. Still. I want to play with it. New shiny toy. Which will still probably be at the top of Wanted Birthday/Christmas Gifts.
3. New Classic Ipod.
The thing I most realistically think about wanting on a daily basis and probably will not give myself for a very long time to come, because this year's money is already very-term tied up. Except. But it is the thing, which I play nearly daily while doing my work at my desk, breaks (and by breaks I mean it stop, freezes, gives me two alternating screens, one grey and one black-blue-white with an apple, before restarting, and zapping a fifth or so of the battery each time) at about every fifteen to twenty minutes.
4. A few months traveling Europe. Or really anywhere new.
5. A lap harp, with the inserts.
6. The God and Goddess statues from Grimassi's Well Worn Path.
I don't know really if there is a 7? 5 and 6 were the two main things on my last Christmas/Want list. I mean I have a long wish list of wish lists of things I find marginally amusing, but there's a reason my weekly spending is under thirty dollars. And it's really not because 'that's all I've got.' It's, also, a sort of, I have the things I want already and don't really want for much I don't have.
