I just wanted to make a wish, too. Nothing to see here.

Awesome Cake

I sit here everyday looking at the pictures in the cake fun Flickr pool RSS feed and wishing I had an awesome cake.
Last year, I had this cake for my birthday that was pretty awesome. I'd never seen an invisible cake before then so I think it was pretty unique. But yet I still long for a more flavourful, colourful awesome cake.
I've had cake since then but it was just not awesome. In my opinion, a cake that is not awesome worse than having no cake at all because you are all set to have awesome cake and suffer the crushing disappointment of sub par cake instead. It's just false hope.
What kind of cake would be awesome? Something with ninjas or pirates on it would be good. Fondant pirate ninjas would really be awesome. With swords and possibly a robot or two. And some bats. But not pink flowers and none of those gel balloons because the gel is pretty slimy and un-awesome.
In fact, grocery store bakery cakes are un-awesome all the way around. I don't know how or why but they taste like licking the inside of a freezer. Not that I've ever done that. I won't admit to it anyway.
I think $100 would cover a fine cake (or at least as much cake as I'm willing to pay for. I don't think I could eat a cake that was $200 worth of awesome) and maybe a tip for the awesome cake maker and a glass of water.
Remember, if you don't vote for this wish and forward it to your friends in five minutes, spiders will nest inside your computer and eat your internet until the only page you can open is Fox News. That makes everyone sad. But there's hope! If you do vote for my awesome cake you'll have good luck for, like, five minutes at least and Bill Gates will send us all coupons for free McDonald's Happy Meals with special copies of Vista that will make you immortal inside.

To never need a laptop

It seems like everyone has, had, wants or needs a laptop. This leads me to believe that someday I may have reason to want or need one.
I've used one before and it sucked. It was slow, the keys were all weird, and the touch mouse annoyed the poo out of me. The battery was a joke as well. Long story short, I just never want to need a laptop. I've managed to avoid them this long; let's hope I can hold out forever!
What's the money for? A drink. I got thirsty typing that all out. (more)

Where Is The Bandwidth?

At this moment my cable modem is opening pages at the lightening fast speed of 176 seconds on the average. I am just burning across the internet so fast I need CAT-V with flames painted on the sides. If I don't slow down my modem may explode from all the hot binary action!
If they threw in some line noise it would really complete the nostalgia but they won't, so I'd like to fly out some one to stand next to me and make a lot of high pitched noises so I can put on a Nine Inch Nails shirt and feel just like I'm back in 1995.

Someone to pack these boxes for me.

Because I'm tired, I hate moving, I'm sweaty and annoyed. I don't know where the heck this junk goes. Or where it came from even. But if someone would come pack them for me, I'd certainly run to the store and pick up beer, soda, and pizza. You can even play with the Wii when every thing's boxed as long as you promise not to wing the remote through a window. I'd kind of like the security deposit back.

Who put all this junk in my house?! (more)

Awww crap. Come back to me, Nano!

*I got a new one today and it is pink and beautiful!!*
You see the wish picture? That is what my Nano looks like while I'm desperately jamming my boney thumb on the click wheel to try to turn it on. Why, you ask? Well let me tell you a fascinatingly boring story about that.
I am autistic. I used to take a cd player with me everywhere to help cut out the noise and make my trips outside much more enjoyable for all involved. Shortly after my daughter started school, it broke in a less spectacular fashion than Nano did. It got replaced with Nano for me to listen to on the lonely walk to and from school twice a day and everywhere else I want to wander.
I was not so sure about Nano at first. It hated me; I hated it. We glared at one another across the table and swore a lifelong enmity. But eventually I softened. It's soft curves, the cute pink cover they put on it to keep it from going smash when I would, inevitably, drop it. I warmed to it and we became inseparable friends. I might walk out the door forgetting to put shoes on half the time, but never without Nano. We swore we'd be together forever.
And we were. Until last week. I became distracted. I set Nano down on the kitchen counter next to my awesomely 1980's dishwasher which drains into the sink. I guess I was very distracted, in fact, because I neglected to look in the sink and make sure there was nothing in there. There was something in there. The plug, which, while not stopping the water from draining did one adept job of deflecting the water out of the sink and all over the counter. And everywhere else.
Anyway, Nano took a bath and Nano did not appreciate it. When Nano was located, it was dripping water out of the earplug jack. Today it's still seeping water if you shake it hard enough.
Now? Nano is only a shell of what it once was and I am left lonely and in despair.
This is a horribly naughty wish because:
1: I was the fool who set Nano on the counter.
2: I don't neeeeeed Nano to live; it just makes life that much easier.
3: A Shuffle is cheaper but I don't want one. They're annoying and frankly Nano is the only one for me.

Someone come commiserate with me and tell me your tales of iPod breakups? (more)
