By now I can run a marathon in a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels. I can race out and hail a cab. I can run up Sixth Avenue at full speed. I've destroyed my feet completely, but I don't really care. What do you need your feet for anyway? ~Sarah Jessica Parker

Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen Christmas Presents to Get Me!

I know it’s getting to be that time of year, so to help all my buddies, I thought I’d let you know what to get (or not to get) me this year . . .

1. First off, I’d be completely out of line to not point you to the OBVIOUS . . . my Amazon.com wishlist. It really does have a ton of things I want on it. So, check it out.

2. I am getting a Treo 680 as soon as Cingular releases it (which will be any day). So any fun Treo accessories would be cool.

3. As a fresh college graduate, I’m of course strapped for cash. Gift certificates to grocery stores, Fresh Market, or an airline (Delta or US Airways) would be greatly appreciated.

4. I REALLY want a puppy. My parents have firmly put their foot down on this one, which is really frustrating because I’m not going to go against their wishes, especially not when they’re still supporting me. So, in this regard, a good present would be talking them into letting me get a puppy. However you want to do that. If you know me in real life, I’ll give you their phone numbers. If I know you online, any emails received can be forwarded along. This girl needs a companion.

5. Since I am not in grad school anymore, I had to give back the laptop. Therefore, I am back to using my undergrad laptop which is really . . . well, crappy. I’m saving up for a new laptop. Either getting me a laptop or helping get the money for one would be appreciated.

6. For those of you without any money to throw around (and for those who do have it), I could REALLY use some prayer. I have no job, I’m not currently in school, and I get the feeling that my parents are starting to feel a little frustrated with me. Granted, that frustration is COMPLETELY understandable, but I still feel really awful that I have let them down, and thus far I’ve done nothing good to replace the letting them down. So a little prayer for some guidance and direction would be great.

7. I do NOT want little trinket-y things. I’m working hard on sorting through all my stuff right now, giving away what I don’t need and clearing out all the clutter. That means that all the small little gift things that I’ve accumulated are going out the door. Not that I don’t love you, but I’d much rather you spend the $5-10 on a card or pulling together some recipes for me online. I am very anti-clutter right now.

8. I’d really really really like to go to FSU for their theatre management program there. So if you’ve got any connections, that would be a FABULOUS gift, haha.

9. In all honesty, I’d take a lot of hugs for a gift. I feel like I don’t get them very often anymore, and I’m the kind of person who THRIVES on hugs!

10. A Christmas jazz CD. I love Christmas jazz music (especially instrumental), and I really shouldn’t buy anymore CDs right now.

11. Tickets to the movie theatre! I haven’t been in so long, and I’d love to go and see a movie.

12. The offer of your company for supper. I’d love to cook dinner for any of my friends, but it seems like they’re all too busy to hang out.

13. A job. Hire me?

Well, I’m back in Winston-Salem now. Flying went just fine, I got my car back OK, the apartment hasn’t burned down . . . I’d say the day went fairly well. Now to unpack, finish settling into this new apartment, and prepare myself for getting my new laptop on Monday . . . I hate backing up and transfering things. It’s a ton of work, and I always manage to forget something . . .





Me!I'm Lindsey, and thanks so much for stopping by Suspension of Disbelief. I love living in the South. Born and raised in Georgia, live in Florida, school in North Carolina – it just doesn't get better . . .
