spiderpig | make up the breakdown

I'm a very simple girl y'know. That is to say, I love gifts. Haha. And since my birthday (egads, I'm turning 17?!) is in approximately a month's time, I thought why not give my darling friends *HINT HINT* a clue on what to get or NOT get me. I'm not demanding things, but more so that you don't waste your money on things that I might just give away in the end.

Okay. To avoid sounding like some greedy PIG. This is actually my list of what to buy for myself ~~if i ever win that S$5000~~ THAT YOU CAN HELP ME OUT WITH. HARHAR. :x

Nothing in pink. Seriously. No pink shirts, shorts, bags, cards, really.
Overtly cutesy things, no thank you.
And if you're going to get broke because of me, no thanks to. ~~mkay like don't copy me~~
Cups. Do not get me mugs. As much as I have a slight obsession with mugs, I only actually use one :x
iPod 5G. Because then I would love you and marry you. You don't want me to marry you.
Earrings, because I only have one ear-piercing still. :x
Did I mention uh, pink?
Chic-lit. Because I have no time to read chic-lit. I actually like chic-lit. SHH. It's nearly always mindless fun.

I mean you CAN get me those things because then I'd think, "oh so-and-so is playing a trick on me." Frankly I don't care lah. But if every single friggin person gets me pink things I will die from shock.

Okay, so onto things that I'd love to have. They're usually rather affordable so as long as you share the cost with 5 other people (which is like, the rest of all my friends ;__;) you'll end up paying like $5. WHAT A DEAL.
