Birthday stuffs

[bladespark]

So somebody suggested that people might wish to get my birthday presents, and that I should let them know what I want.

So okay! I am always happy to window shop and compile lists of stuff. Thus, with the disclaimer that I'm not really asking for any of this, it's just if you wanted to get me something anyhow, you know... Anyhow, I give you my Birthday wish list:

Weird pocky, (by which I mean something other than plain chocolate or strawberry, especially New York Brownie and Men's pocky.)British chocolates which one cannot get in the USA, Tim-Tams/Pengus, stuff like that.
Windstones, of course. Particularly right now I'm wanting the Mouse Wizard, the Crouching wolf-colored griffin chick, the wolf-colored mother and father griffins, and the emerald peacock fledgling dragon. (Though I realize those are quite out of the budget for most folks, seeing as how the cheapest thing there is the chick, which is $52...) Oh! Also any PYO Windstones at all! I can always do more painting!
Art of my characters. I always love getting other artist's takes on my various personas.
Ursula Vernon art prints. I have a few favorites, like the Pearaphim and the fanged strawberry, but really I can't think of a Vernon piece that I don't like.
Big Brother ponies, particularly beat up ones. I'm turning over a couple of other custom ideas in my head, and I'd love a custom bait big brother.
An Alivan's wand. I want to go to a book party for the new book, in costume, so it'd be shiny-spiffy to have a wand.

Of course there's all kinds of other junk I'd like, I have odd and broad tastes, but those were a few that came to mind, varying in price range. And I'll add in again that this isn't a request for any of that stuff, this is just if somebody really wants to get me something, these are all things I'd like but certainly do not need.


Actual birthday is June 21.

is there any wand in particular that you liked?

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I like most of 'em really. The Redwood one is very nice. The Black Walnut and Maple is too. I like the Beech as well. And pretty much all of the the ebony ones, and the one with bloodwood and the lignum vitae ones, but those are kinda pricey...

I really wish I hadn't clicked on the Alivan's link. xD I really find myself wanting a wand now.

It's one of those things that nobody has any earthly use for, really, but you just can't help wanting one anyhow!

Like those big LED Star Wars lightsabers?
I got one for Christmas but I was really disappointed when I couldn't even hit things with it...

Man, Alivan's is awesome... I want a staff, tho'. Hehehe. *grins*

If you'd care to be specific about chocolate... ;)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, if it's chocolate, I love it, that being why I wasn't really specific in the first place. Though my fondness for Roses comes to mind at the moment...

Happy Birthday and I'm sorry...

Happy Birthday soon! The 21st is pretty close by. I know that I don't KNOW you, but if I was able, I'd get some Pockys. They're REALLY cheap in this store near me, like only 1 for $1.00, but since they'd be all nasty by the time they'd reach you, the best I can do is write a fantasy gift:

You open the slightly dented cardboard box, from an anonymous sender. Inside you find 10 neatly stacked smaller boxes. To your delight you read the words pocky posted over some Japanese characters. You take a glance over the multi-colored boxes and their individual flavors. Almond, Peach, Strawberry, Kiwi, Banana, Coconut, Green Tea, Mousse, Milk Chocolate and an original. Yep, they're all here. You open a random box and pull out the plastic bag containing your confection. You close your eyes, so as to not ruin the surprise of the flavor. You rip open the plastic and grab hold of a few of the sweet sticks. You take a bit off the end and allow the sweet taste of fresh strawberries melt all over your taste buds. You savor every bite, but not realizing how quickly you finished your first box. A sense of shame and disappointment sweeps over you, knowing that you missed your chance to truly enjoy one of your gifts. But perhaps if you try again, maybe, just maybe you will go a little more slowly and taste each wonderful blast of flavor.

I just wrote this for fun. Don't take offense. I don't even know your pocky-eating habits. I just know that there never seems to be enough. And I'm sorry that this really isn't a gift, but hey, it's the best I could do for not even living within a one-hour plane ride.

Well, they do say it's the thought that counts. So thank you!

If it makes you a little more excited, you can pretend that you didn't look in the box all the way and missed the coupon for $130 at Alivan's, and you just caught it when you were about to throw away the box... ~_~

I did the Alivan's Choise or whatever for my wand, and ended up with an awesome one. :3 then again, it looks like it's for someone much taller than me and as if I could BEAT someone with it, but....pretty black and white inlay! *hugs hers*

*grins* so if we do wish to give you gifts of pocky and suchlike how would you like it delivered? Hopefully mail will suffice since I'm a poor canuck ^_^

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Mail is certainly fine. Taking a plane down to deliver them would probably be a bit much! If you toss an e-mail at spark.costumes@gmail.com I shall toss a mailing address back at you.
