I hate to think of myself as a materialistic person. I think we all could use more thought and energy into attaining a better spiritual life than a bigger house with more useless shit. And yet, I am also very fond of certain things that make my physical life enjoyable. Food, and wine, and so on. With my birthday coming up, I've realized that, and this is a pretentious moment, some people may elect to gift me with something. This also being my 21st birthday, I've realized that the most common thing to buy someone is a shot glass or beer.

Let me put this out there now, wither or not anyone decided to buy me anything. Which I don't recommend, I much prefer your company!

Do not, please, buy me a shot glass. I've got enough wine glasses, and if you think a drinking gift is necessary, I'd appreciate a nice sake set. Or a good tea set, too. I loves tea.
I love knives, and I have to get mine sharpened, a lot. So buy me a gift certificate or something to get my knives sharpened.
I love books, and music about equally. Hint? I also like candles, incense,  sewing etc. Another great gift  would be to buy me tickets to a show that I plan on attending? Or perhaps, go with me and buy me a shirt. That's always great fun. Or, and I'm stealing this idea from VA, donate to a charity in my name. The YWCA of Great Falls, the Boys and Girls Club of Great Falls would be great too. Perhaps donate to some sort of pagan organization here in Portland or in MT. I'd love that!

Basically, I just don't want a bunch of useless crap hanging out in my room, or having something I'm never going to use. I appreciate all thoughts and gestures, but seriously, just buy me dinner or a good bottle of wine or something.

Anyway, I'm done being selfish, for the moment, and now I need to sleep.

Good night all.

Twilight and Beauty,
Salome
