December 6th. 30. I want a recording studio. (I'll promise whoever gives this to me free studio time, of course.)

I want everything wrong with my car fixed or a new pair of brown boots, I threw last year's pair away, they were falling apart.
For Christmas I guess, my birthday was August 31st

This Christmas I want it to snow.

January 18, at which point I turn 29. My wife is turning "25" on Sunday. Since I just got an interview, I won't be pathetic and sk for a job. Rather, I'd like a big bowl of hard candy and a bunch of video games.

My birthday's on the second of April.

I think I'd quite like a pair of those trainers that aren't just trainers, oh no, they're much more than that; they're roller skates as well. I've wanted some for ages - ever since I saw them on Short Change but I've not actually wanted them so much that I'd actually want to buy some. Hopefully, by my birthday, they'll be dirt cheap as well.

Oh and a Year Long Tussards group pass. They're cool. £70 or something and you get unlimited access to Chessington, Madame Tussards, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and whatever else they own. Neato.

November 17. I could use a black dinner jacket, I'm a 38 regular.
A day after mine! I would like a puppy. Preferably a Husky.

March 25th. I want you to clean my car. The windscreens horrible, and theres bottles and cans (clap your hands) all over the seats and everywhere. its also covered in a thin film of dust and filled with miscellaneous misboxed cds. Get to work! And then you can start on my room.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

March 20. And I want money. Preferably American dollars, but British pounds, Irish punts, Canadian dollars, Dutch guilders, Belgian francs, and whatever the hell they call the dough in Australia and New Zealand will also do :-)

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Its my birthday on Saturday. In addition to some things I want but that have not been invented yet, I want a nice dinner with my friends and a sunny day, and dancing, there will be dancing.

The other holiday that I celebrate is Easter. I have a big brunch with my friends and we eat chocolate and coffee and hot cross buns.

― rainy, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

6 June. Gimme money and fun.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I have decided that I would like a cattle prod (a Tazer would do at a push) and a sandwich toaster that doesn't cut diagonally across the bread so I can make the most fantastic fried egg sandwiches in the world.

that's on the 8th of January folks.

― chris, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

2nd April and as well as a joint party with jamesmichaelward, I would like a ticket to see Inter v. Atalanta on the 7th.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

If any of you Americans feel like being LOVELY to me you could get me this (almost) impossible to find PC game for $2.95.

― DG, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

November 22nd. I'm going to be 28. All I want for my birthday is to be young again!!!!!!!!

― Tabs, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

August 22nd. i will be 23...oh man that sounds old. i want book vouchers and music vouchers and an electric guitar (cheap Strat copy will do) and a 4 track.

― di, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I mean it about that game. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can sort me out with it.

― DG, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

June 16th. I'd like to find a place to live in New York City, cause I think I'm moving back next summer.

― Arthur, Saturday, 6 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

― ernest, Sunday, 7 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh, wait, DG's request reminds me: I'd be happy if someone bought me a Playstation with that "Vib Ribbon" game inside.

Sun Ra - "Birth = being 'be-earthed', birthday = death-day, that's why I wasn't born"

― dave q, Sunday, 7 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I have the same birthday as Brian, December 6th!

I would like a work permit.

― rosemary, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

St. Patricks Day - In 2002, I actually want to make it to the *inside* of the pub.

― Kim, Monday, 8 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

>>> What could be better than a Pinefox t-shirt? Forget my amazon wishlist for a moment, I want a Pinefox t-shirt.

I want a Nicole t-shirt.

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

In fact, I want a Pinefox t-shirt as well. It might help me to remember lyrics and things. Can I have one that says 'I'd be surprised if yours was not a union I could bless'?

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Nov. 27. I'll be 21, so not much thought need go into gifts.

― Otis Wheeler, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Today. I was looking for a wok, and I got a wok.

― Tim, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Blimey! Happy birthday Tim!

It's Phins birthday tomorrow, what record is the ANTI PINK FLOYD? I shall give him THAT.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Radio K.A.O.S.

― mark s, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

"The Man Behind The Badge", Starry. Red Simpson is the anti-Floyd (ta, btw).

― Tim, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

incidentally, couldn't find that in bond st hmv at all - found it in ox circus but the beeotch was 15.99 - OW. i think i'm still going to get it tonight anyway.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Hm, I'd borrow mine and tape it if I were you. No way is it worth sixteen quid... shd only have been ten top whack on that reissue...

― Tim, Tuesday, 9 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

three months pass...

Maybe people should post links to their Amazon wishlists.

OK. Today is all about wanting things. May 1st.

If there's anything on my wishlist that people think is bad tell me here.

― N., Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

K-blimey I didn't see that offer Tim. Is it still standing? I didn't get it after all. 15.99 UKP? Pffff.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

you asked

("n.": sandman is terrible don't get it)

― ethan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ethan, I really want to think of something for you to design in exchange for CDs but I can't think of anything. If I start up by blog again you can design a look for that, maybe. Just a banner and background, I mean.

Sandman was Chris's recommendation. FITE!

― N., Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i'm surprised you don't have role model already ethan. have you heard the dismemberment plan cut up he does? really really good.

― gareth, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I thought it was Tiny Tim (dickens not j. mascis lookalike).

― Nicole, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This is the first bad thing I've heard about Sandman but I don't know, having never read any. I like most of Neil Gaiman's other stuff. My choir teacher keeps saying he'll lend me the comics but NEVER DOES, but he will, oh yes he will.

― Maria, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sandman is rubbish, there you go, a second thing.

― Tom, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sandman is not rubbish. The ILX Comic Mafia can come down on me however they'd like; they're WRONG. Before "The Deadly Ones", it's very, very good. Skip that "Deadly Ones" stuff, though.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I should have guessed my first evah (potential) comic book purchase would cause such a stink.

― N., Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Even the ILX Comics Mafia split on this one cos I think the Dirty Vicar still likes it.

If you do want to get a Sandman book dont get the Doll's House - it pretends to be a complete story but it's mostly gibberish, though it has Gaiman's usual mixture of cute short-story concepts and Goth sentimentality. You might be better off with a short story collection - the one which has the Arabian Nights issue in at least has nice art. The best book is A Game Of You, which actually does tell a story, hardly has the Sandman in it at all (hooray!) and manages to capture something of the magic in the concepts its writing about (Gaiman's take on children's lit in this case).

― Tom, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Forget about this Sandman shit - any got any comments on anything else in my wishlist?

― N., Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

icbyd possibly rdj's best album?

― ethan, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yeah - Irma Thomas = nice call.

― Ellie, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Irma Thomas is indeed cool, but 'The Complete Muscle Shoals Sessions' is prob. a better selection (unless you really really need 'Ruler Of My Heart').

And yes, the Sandman is shit.

― Andrew L, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My Birthday's almost here! ( sniff) January 19! I'm going to be 54

― Gale Deslongchamps, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Who's for making January 19th No Swearing Day on ILE, then?

(You can make my birthday Extra Swearing Day if you want to make up for it, I dont mind)

Well, it was two days ago. Didn't really get anything - I have most material things - not even a baby (yet). :-) But what do I really want? Uh, TIGHT STOMACH again. Yep, I'm now thinking that this weight gain was not a great idea. Harumph. :-)

Other than that, or rather actually I don't care as much about the belly as I do about a safe speedy delivery (31st!) and a healthy baby and mommy (yes, I'm selfish). Also, I'd love for Ophelia to get rid of that nasty virus which she's had for WEEKS now.

― stevienixed, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 00:49 (sixteen years ago) link

It's my birthday today. I won't be getting anything because we're a bit broke right now, but I would like an external flash for my camera and while I'm daydreaming, might as well ask for a second camera body.

― Kate, non masonic, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 00:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Ah happy birthday!!!! :-) Sends you imaginary presents. :-)

― stevienixed, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 01:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh! Happy birthday ladies! Kate you should get any kind of photography stuff your genius heart desires!

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 01:40 (sixteen years ago) link

I need to learn to start saving money before that can happen I'm afraid :)

― Kate, non masonic, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 02:05 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, happy birthday! Saving money suxors; I agree.

Um, my birthday isn't until February. I think I'd like some good books and some time to read them. Also a nap!

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 04:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Happy birthday to all of us in the ILX Scorpio massive (my birthday is in a hour and a half)
