Mostly books. The truth is, I’m probably hard to buy for, because I usually buy anything I want. So I just ask for books because that is the one thing that will always always always be used. Now if we went on a what would I ask the universe for it might be for a female companion. Usually I’m quite content being single, but this last week or so I have felt the call of loneliness. ---

What I want is a Kitchenaid stand mixer. What I will get is more along the lines of a sweater, a bottle of perfume, maybe a Starbucks gift card. It’s so not fair. ---

A remote-kill button. Here’s how it would work – when an idiot calls, I pull out the button. The first time they say (or ask) something stupid (for example “what colour is the aqua tissue?”) I push the button, and it delivers a mild electric shock. Each time I have to press my button, the shock gets less mild, until – if they’re really that stupid – they are dead. It makes me happy to fantasise about it. what? 😃 ---
