I’m one of those people who wishes the rest of the world would say what they want and don’t want so that I wouldn’t have to try to guess. That said, I’m in the crowd of people who thinks that wish lists are fantastic. Even if you’re in the other crowd that thinks they’re pretentious and juvenile, you’ve got to at least admit that they don’t really hurt anything. And come on, you don’t really think that a kid with a Christmas list is the image of greed exactly, do you?

Honestly though, I don’t really expect people to get stuff on this list for me. It’d be awesome if people were like that, but, well, who are we kidding? I mostly just just this as a place to write things down for myself.

Anyway, these are the things that I’m saving up for and not-so-secretly hoping to receive.. Of course, everybody loves money too, but checks are preferred to gift cards so that I can save it up and do whatever with it.

If you have a list, then by all means, post a link to it by leaving a comment on the page or send it to me!
