I give up. I cannot shop for ties. I fail at it. I can shop for everything else. I fail at ties. It must be a guy thing.

1) A strong mind. The ability to follow their own path and not follow after others blindly just because it's easier.
2) An open and accepting heart.
3) Knowledge of their heritage, without forcing them into traditions that may not be for them.
4) Family that loves them, and will always be there for them. I don't want them to ever feel abandoned, or alone.
5) My hair, at least if said child is a girl. Yes, it's a pain, but it's unique, and I'm selfish enough that I'd want my child to be instantly recognizable as mine.
6) My books, with the hope that they'd appreciate them.
7) Security. In every sense of the word.
8) Pictures, mementos, diaries, whatever I can leave behind that they won't forget me.
9) Monty, the purple sock monkey I've had since I was little. The poor guy's been sewn up so many times he's more thread than sock, but he was mine and he was special to me.
10) Love of music.
11) Love of words, both written and spoken.
12) Unconditional love. I don't want them to ever doubt that they were loved.
13) A better world than the one I was born into.

The Happy meme day 5
Dec. 15th, 2008 12:51 pmThe rules are this: For the next 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day.
Day #5: wrapping paper cutters and pop up dispensers for gift wrapping tape.
...What? I'm easy to make happy!
ETA: Omg. The voice-over guy for whatever Discovery channel show they were just advertising said "You'll never look at corn the same way again" and it totally sounded like he said 'porn.' I'm gonna sit here and giggle like a twelve year old for a good fifteen minutes, thanks.
