It's still some time until my birthday. If you feel like giving me some love, I'll make things easier for you.

Here's a hint: Potted plants make me happy. They don't have to be too fancy. A small leafy plant that doesn't require a lot of attention is enough to make me squirm with delight.

Actually I like animals more than plants. I appreciate having other living things around me (except other humans); but taking care of animals (be it fish, reptile, bird, or mammal) requires a lot of time and attention; I often have neither. As much as I want for someone to give a ferret, I can't take care of it. So I'll settle for plants, which are quiet, not fussy, and often beautiful.

If you really want see me light up with joy: give me a carnivorous plant.

The other things I'll include in my birthday wish-lists are item I doubt people could give me. But you never know.

A Japanese Noh mask (a maiden or an oni).

A copy of the Codex Seraphinianus.

A t-shirt from Jinx or ThinkGeek.

A pair of geta.

A postcard from Tibet or Nepal.

A vinyl record player.

I saw this shirt earlier in Tumblr.

I'll do sexual favors on anyone who'd give me this shirt. I mean, that's just appropriate, right?
