It’s my birthday soon and I have no idea what I want » July 28th, 2008 · See comments
It’s my birthday a week on Friday and I’m going to be the grand old age of 21. Part of me is excited about that, and part of me is “meh”. 21 won’t really be any different from 20, with the exception that I’ll be able to legally get drunk in America. I’m teetotal and I don’t have a passport, so it really doesn’t make a difference to me.
I’m excited about my birthday because birthdays = presents. In true style I’m being completely annoying about it because I don’t know what I want. There’s lots of things I’m “saving up for” but nothing I particularly want for my birthday. The only thing I’ve specified that I want is a dinosaur birthday cake, which my Mum has agreed to.
Apart from that, there’s nothing I really want. I would quite like a Canon EOS 1000D and an Asus EEE 901, but those are huge purchases. I’d also quite like tickets to a show such as High School Musical or Avenue Q. We’ll see.
I’m excited to know what Aisling is getting me. Apparently the present has left Calgary, but hasn’t quite made it to the UK yet. Hopefully it will be here by next Friday.
I’m also excited to know what Lilil is getting me. She asked me whether I would classify my clothes as a ladies small, medium, or large. So that’s left me quite intrigued… I hope it’s not an obscene slogan t-shirt. Don’t get me wrong, I love slogan tees, I just don’t want to get in trouble…
What would you guys send me for my birthday if you could?

I really wish I could send you a present, but I’m broke. I want to send you a card, however. Give me your address if I have permission to.
Reply: You have permission to.
You want… exactly everything I have sent you. Yup.
Obviously, I cannot answer the actual question, without ruining the surprise (which, of course, will be ruined on the custom’s slip anyway, but ah well. Damn you, customs!).
I want so badly to see Avenue Q. I already know all of the songs off by heart! And a lot of the dialogue. And yet, I’ve never seen it! But I wanna gooooooo. XP
I, too, am always indecisive about what I want on my bday, because, of course, I can just *buy* anything I want. So, I just leave it up to everyone to be creative. For my 19th, I didn’t know what I wanted, so I got “A” post-its. Best gift ever.
Reply: You know that if you’ve sent me anything involving Dinosaurs, Monsters, Simple Plan, or Canada, then you will go right to the top of my “rachael’s favourite people” list.
I think the best presents are ones you cannot hold. So if I could, I would buy you hot air balloon tickets for you and your friends
Or something random like helicopter lessons. Because learning to fly a helicopter is always useful…
Reply: I think I would be dangerous in a helicopter! Hot air balloon tickets would definitely be more fun. You would have to come too.
Hmm, I don’t really have a clue. But it would probably be a card.
Oh did I forget to tell you that my brother’s birthday is the same as yours?
Reply: Cards are always good. I think people underestimate them. And, wow, your brother’s birthday is the same day? Well happy birthday to him!
A frying pan.
Reply: Thanks, Jemmie. I’ll use it to clunk people on the head.
A Vandoren reed.
Ricos just don’t have the “oomph” that I’m looking for. Oh, and a card too, of course.
Reply: If it has to be a Vandoren, can you at least make a soft one please? Like… a 1 1/2 or something.
You just reminded me of two things.
1) I need to blog
(not so important)
Do you by any chance wear earrings?
2) I have to get you a birthday card!!
Reply: Yes you do need to blog. *prods* And, no… I’m not really one for earrings. I do have my ears pierced twice but I haven’t worn earrings in years. Strange thing is, I don’t miss them.
I would send you a thirty foot stuffed animal tyrannosaurus rex.
Happy early birthday!
Hope it’s a good one.
Reply: Thirty foot?! Yes please! But… where would I put it?
You know, I saw this awesome knickknack once, a huge banana wearing sunglasses. I would so buy that for your birthday.
Reply: Oh wow, Amanda, that sounds so cool!
A hug? You always love hugs XP
Hum… if I knew your address, I’d probably send you some cute dinosaur plushie -.- y first choice would have been some gadget, but really you already have most of the last minute technology.
Reply: Hugs are good! *hugs back*
Haha, no it’s not obscene cause I know profanity makes you cringe :p I can’t really drop hints without giving it away so you’ll have to wait.
I’d let you borrow any game you wanted from my Wii collection, and bake you a big cake that you could share with friends and family.
Simple Plan tickets, with backstage passes? Maybe just a dinosaur notebook.
I’d send you something super cool that would pwn Jem’s frying pan…although how anything could top a frying pan I’ll never know.
A t-shirt with an obscene slogan, of course.
Or, possibly the little dinosaur I made when I was seven in art class… it was my first ceramics project :3
Happy belated 21st! I hope it was a good one.
