What I Want For My Birthday
What I Want For My Birthday.
I have so many things. I don’t need other people to buy me things. Really. I’m set.
But you know what I would like? If you have the time or inclination, I would like lists.
I am a great lover of lists.
I did this once before—for my 29th, I think?—in lieu of gifts I collected lists from my friends. My beau at the time put them in a lovely little binder… a lovely little binder that somehow got misplaced in the move, alas. I loved my little book of lists and I’d like to replace it.
So here’s the thing: if you have a moment and you’re inspired to play (perhaps you’re on deadline, hm?) take a sheet of paper and number it 1-40 and make me a list. I don’t care what the category is. It can be related to me like:
- 40 Things Kelly Sue Should Do Before She Turns 50; or
- 40 Names for the Color Red*
…or it could be completely unrelated to me, like, say:
- 40 Things on My Desk;
- 40 Female Villains Whose Motivation Was Not Unrequited Love;
- 40 Photos of Ann-Margaret; or
- 40 Things I Made Up About Hemingway; or
- 40 Badass Girl Fights in Comics and Film; or whatever.
Email it to me at the address in the sidebar. I’ll post the lists here and I’ll print them out for my little book.
Thank you.
*29 Shades of Red was one of my favorite lists from the first book.
Well, now I’ll have to tackle that color red list. Again. As I recall, 29 shades of red was challenging… I’m pretty sure I can do 40, though. (And have I really known you that long?)
[...] The first 10 lists are in! I’m hoping to get 40 by my birthday (July 15th). [...]
