Want list
Oh, and I'm not actually expecting anyone to get me any of these, it's just so that I know what I want.
- A longbow (though where I'd get to practice with it I can't imagine). Would have to include some arrers.
- A cheong-sam in green, black, silver or combination of those colours. I doubt that all of these colours in one item would look good, so any two?
- A pair (or two) of (black) shorts, but they have to be just so.
- A well-fitting pinstripe suit. Really should find out names of 'features' for this.
- More boots, with lots of straps down the side. Like the ones that used to be available before the New Rock monopoly, when there was still a choice :(
- A couple of pairs of shades, with bits on the sides (like ski glasses, basically).
- More bangles, but they have to be male size.
- More troos, with laces up sides in various materials, denim, etc.
- More stripy tights, stockings and long socks.
- Large fold-out map of London (with all the streets shown).
- A specific picture of Audrey Hepburn, which has her head resting on her hands (there are lots of pictures of her in roughly similar poses but there's one particular picture I want).
- A home of my own. So I can have the security that that entails, with no landlords to dictate your life to you (not to mention taking half your wages for the rest of your life). Lots of space to put my precious things is good (bookshelves mostly) - a house would be preferable to a flat, but first things first :) If I get this I'll then want the following:
- A large house. In the country. With a garden. (this doesn't mean I want two homes, though if that happened I certainly wouldn't complain)
- A washing machine 200
- cooker (electric?) 150
- A double bed 150
- A freezer 100
- Sofa bed / futon 100
- fridge 60 - 100
- mattress. 80
- A microwave, category E (though they all seem to be these days) 60
- A broadband connection.
- A doctor, to prescribe me asthma inhalers (okay, so I don't want this, but it's not something I want to go without any time soon).
- computer-y things:
- uninterruptible power supply
- internet-enabling connection
- A really comfy chair. On wheels, that swivels around.
- Books:
- Clive Barker's Books of Blood Volume V
- Comics:
- That Japanese Sandman thing that came out a few years back that I stupidly didn't get at the time. In hardback.
- Whichever Sandman hardbacks I don't already have (Season of Mists and a couple of the other early ones).
- Industrial Gothic #2
- Steampunk - selected issues
- Ministry of Space #1, #3 (find out how many issues came out)
- The Saga of the Man Elf #2, #3, #5
- Phage: ShadowDeath #4
- whichever issues of Miracleman I don't have (from book three, or the graphic novel of Olympus? and The Golden Age, plus the last published issue (unless I already have it).
