the holiday wish-list meme
So there's an LJ meme about your holiday wishlist.
The wishes can be anything from small and with no obvious monetary value to unlikely and/or extravagant. The idea is that I post mine and you post yours, and if people are inclined some of those wishes may just come true. For example, if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you’re never going to use, that might just be the thing that could make someone else's holiday.
Anyway this is an entirely guilt/obligation-free/why-not sort of thing. We all get that, right? It's a bit of whimsy.
If you have already or do post one of these in the future, please comment with a link.
1. Pledges for Dogboy & Justine so we can actually make that happen.
2. Blu-ray player.
3. New to us TV (ours is from 1993). We need to get something that makes having a Blu-ray worth it.
4. A paid/published home for something related to my mourning for fictional characters project, academic or not.
5. Y'all know how much I want in on Gatsby at even the tiniest level (something a la my little role in Revolutionary Road would be a dream come true). 'Tis early days yet, but got a connection?
6. Plane ticket vouchers/miles. Seriously, we travel a lot. Anything that makes that less onerous on our wallets is good.
7. If we decide to get a new place when this lease is up, as un-onerous a process as possible. 2 bedrooms (one can be small, it's an office), Manhattan or Brooklyn, under 2K/month. Or, you know, winning the lottery and something in Soho. I'm just saying.
8. Despite my many issues about couples dancing and the modern world -- dance lessons for stuff 1900-1950, where in I actually learn to follow.
9. Final Draft
10. The thing I have no idea I want and need that I totally apparently do. In the past this has included things like socks with dinosaurs on them and dirty, dirty Ianto/Owen fic. Yeah, I'm still surprised by that second one too.

I see things on your list I might be able to do :)

I'm without connections or money to help with any of your wishes. Unless by number 10, you would like a gender-bent, mostly politically accurate Robin Hood novel.

The premise is that Maid Marion is King Richard's illegitmate son. She has been raised as a lady in order to protect her, right down to an arranged marriage.
We hit all the usual Robin Hood tropes, and a few that don't make it into the movies.

I feel sort of guilty for my Blu-Ray desire (and realistically it and a new TV are what I'm buying for the house in the post holiday sales), but considering the age of our stuff, it's time!

Hmm... I also have a TV that I could part with, but I wouldn't have a way to get it to you.
I have a list here.

And if you ever get to the DC area, I have a TV if you want.

personally, irl, my feelings about gender are fairly straightforward (I'm a robot); i just cannot follow because I cannot follow. i explain it thusly: i have a strong sense of rhythm and music; so I generally have to choose between following my partner OR following the music. the music ALWAYS wins. i can follow my brother, but only because we listen to music the same way. i'm not sure that counts as following. still, i wish i could do it.

It's quite a long list, and some of the things are in the thousands - but you know, it's more like a list for me to work through over the next year to get myself :) I never really thought of people buying anything on the list for me.
yours however, is quite doable! even "partially". so, how do I grab a sort of address/gifting site that will lead gifts to you, should I choose to do so?

(This year I actually saw something on somebody's that I can do, for once, I have to remember to mail that soon...)

(and I know you're busy/traveling, so no big hurry on an answer)....
If I pledge at a level that gets tickets, can I "donate" them to someone else? I'm not local, but know people who are...
