It's a little late for a wishlist - but these are things I want all year round, or have been particularly pining after lately. A little less lipstick and a little more lightsaber.
Star Wars lightsaber chopsticks? Yes please. Instead of using the forks, I could use the force!
Pi Symbol Ice Cube Trays $8.99
I can't think of a cooler addition (both coloquially and in temperature) to my Pepsi Max than pi-shaped ice cubes. Imagine how cool you'd be at parties! Or, well, not really, I guess the kind of people who appreciate pi ice cubes aren't really the sort who frequent parties. LAN parties, maybe.
TMNT Shredder Hooded Sweatshirt $60
If you need me to tell you why this is awesome, you need to go spend the next 12 hours having a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle marathon, and come back a new, enlightened person.
Star Wars Force FX Lightsaber - Yoda $119
I wanted it last year, and I still want it. I've wanted it since I knew what a lightsaber was. I'm hoping to finally get one in the new year, they tend to become more widely available around Christmas.
Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard $139.99
Rainbow keyboard. Why wouldn't I want this? Seriously, this is an illuminated keyboard and you can customise the colour for each key, and it can even do little animations. I want the black one, although the white one lights up more, 'cause I think it looks better.
As much as I love my rainbow scarf-- omgwtfMario. Lindsey linked me to this (she also made me the most gorgeous pair of green gloves, since I'm so fingerless-glove-obsessed, thank you!), so it's entirely her fault that I want it, now.
[EDIT] The Etsy seller got in touch with me, and has relisted them! Woo! Don't buy them all, I want one. Edited the link above to take you to purchasable goodness!
Fyrinnae is my biggest beauty lemming, at the moment. Ages ago I gave them a bad review, back when I was young and stupid, and regret it immensely. Ignore old-me. They're amazing. Their eyeshadows are stunning, pigmented and complex and incredible, their service is impeccable, they're geeky and have eyeshadows with names like Damn Paladins and +20 Beautification, the eyeshadow samples are freaking huge (1/4 teaspoon, in jars, no less) and their pixie epoxy is the most amazing primer ever. Their Arcane Magic eyeshadows are-- incredible. They're actually colour changing, based on their proximity to a lightsource (like a lamp, not the sun). I don't mean with sparkle or duo-chrome, I mean they completely change colour.
Just-- amazing. I want every Arcane Magic shadow, and at least samples of every single non-neutral eyeshadow they do. Which is hundreds. Check them out and yell at me for being broke later. The stunning colour pictured is Faerie Glamour, by the way.
Tokidoki Skullcandy Ti Headphones $74.95 (Or, unfairly, £69.99)
$75 converted should be around £47, not £70. The mark-up pisses me off. But anyway, these are the sexiest headphones I've ever seen. Out of everything on my list, this is the one I want most, and have been pining over for ages. The one that makes me go "Arrrghfbsoifb WANT". Skullcandy make some seriously sexy headphones, but the tokidoki ones are irresistable.
I've already got all the Rocks! eyeshadows I think I want, so my next most desired collection to own full-size is Hot In The City. I haven't mentioned this one before, because it was discontinued, but it's back for an encore until 2nd Janurary 2010. It isn't just the colours in this collection I love, it's the formula as well. I tried a rainbow EOTD which I managed to bugger up completely last week, and it was this collection which rescued me because the colours just showed up and blended perfectly, even over botched other colours underneath.
The full-sizes I most want are: italian ice, neon lights, swelter, return to Tiffany's, late for work, gridlock, girl's night out, and coney island.

Dr Martens - 1460 Green Patent £59.99 (£39.99 in the sale! Three sizes too small.)
Bright green Dr Martens. Of course I want them! They're chunky, punky, and green. I actually first saw these when Xenia got herself a pair - so I can give her that much, girl's got good taste in shoes. Come new year, these will definitely be mine, provided I can find somewhere with them in a UK 6.
Little more geeky than beauty this time around, because I've done so much beauty hauling of late.
Oh, and look who followed me home from the shops the other day...
Oh, and look who followed me home from the shops the other day...
Hello Punky!
Most adorable Hello Kitty doll ever. I love her little plaid bow! And my tokidoki bag you see in the corner there is very definitely fake, but still completely adorable.
So that's all my most pressing 'do want's - share yours with me?

You have a brand new pair of incredibly good, headphones with an excellent audio response curve.
25 December 2009 02:45you can't even see them when they're on your head"
and they're entirely impractical to go out with, so you'd only ever use them at home. you gonna spend £70 on headphones so that people on skype can admire them?
SHUT UP. THEY'RE TOKIDOKI AND I WANT THEM >_<
25 December 2009 02:46And I would too use them outside! I'd use them all the time. :[
25 December 2009 02:46We bought you that pear tree last Christmas and you never play with that
25 December 2009 02:47I saw a pretty wicked TMNT hoodie today that was turtle green and had the yellow turtle chest! I was so close to buying it, but I'm not exactly small and I can picture the cracks I'd get behind my back about being round lol.
25 December 2009 02:50For xmas I want:
Super Mario Wii
Zelda Spirit Tracks
Makeup cart from Office depot
Sims 3
Tudors season trois
about 15 lip lustres from Fyrinnae (why I don't have any already I do not know)
A lil set of MAC makeup brushes I saw
And I pretty much can't remember anything else.
It's a bit sad that I want your entire wishlist as well (minus the hoodie, and I would want a Mace Windu lightsaber, if they make one). And I am SO making that scarf eventually, I swear it! I should make it before uni starts back up again since I have actual free time right now, but alas, I will probably put it on the backburner for a few months, because procrastination is how I roll. And I really love the Arcane Magic shadows too. <3 I didn't like them at first, because I had some real missteps with application, but once I got it down, I learned to love them. I'm finally getting to sample a few HitC shadows (I put a sample order in at AL yesterday)! I would have gotten the whole collection, but since they're not on sale, it would have put me a bit overbudget, but I got samples of Skyscraper, Gridlock, Return to Tiffany's, Girl's Night Out, Italian Ice, and Lady Liberty (as well as the Hi-Fi Matte sample collection and a Lazysod, Googoomuck, Avalon, and Venom from Rocks!).
25 December 2009 02:54Shredder is cooler, AxS! Still, a turtle hoodie would be green...
25 December 2009 03:07And lol, every game/DVD on your list I'd probably just pirate <_<; I want Fyrinnae lip lustres, too, but I haven't tried any so I can't vouch for them juuuust yet.
Which MAC brushes? ;x
I love the Mace Windu saber, too, but it's hella expensive. One of the rarest ones! Plus, the Yoda one is a little shorter and so glows brighter. And y'know, it's green, and has a nicer hilt than Luke's green saber from Episode VI.
25 December 2009 03:13I've told you already I'd buy that scarf from you! Gosh, it's so cool *-* Must learn to crochet. Is the pattern hard? It looks like it would be hard. I don't know anything about crocheting. I'm not even entirely sure what it is.
Yesss! I'm glad you bought Aromaleigh shadows. Prepare to be happyyyyy. I can't believe you didn't get estranged or coney island though, wth is that, woman >: Three greens is NOT enough.
Some really cool stuff on your wishlist! I love that keyboard. I agree about the Fyrinnae Arcane Magic shadows and Aromeleigh Hot in the City collection, they are fantastic!
25 December 2009 03:20My biggest wish is a new home in a more convenient location (traveling an hour to get to the grocery store sucks!). Not that I expect to get that any time soon.
I suppose my current gifty wants would be full sizes of the Aromaleigh Angels shadows. More home fragrance oil blends for my BBW ScentBug, because you can never have enough smell good stuff. And chocolate.. a girl can never have enough chocolate.
Merry Christmas :)
I can't pirate the nintendo games because none of my systems are modded yet :( should have asked for that for xmas lol
25 December 2009 03:21I want the Do-the-Trick set, I don't have a skunk brush yet
http://www.maccosmetics.ca/templates/products/sp.tmplCATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY32622&PRODUCT_ID=PROD15352
you can soft mod with bannerbomb it's super easy
25 December 2009 03:30Irk Michelle, well you could get Up instead and try that... Although I don't think I believe their balloon physics. You'd probably just destroy your house.
25 December 2009 03:44I want a lot of the Angels shadows, too (Anastasia, of course, even though it isn't mine) and I'm getting one! Eek, I'm so excited about it. It's going to be very green =D
I think I definitely need MORE chocolate right now.
The MAC 187 is definitely worth owning, I was surprised at how good that set looked. Be aware that the SE brushes aren't as good quality though, they're made in China, not Japan/France like normal MAC brushes.
25 December 2009 03:45187 and 168 would be my two essential face brushes, though.
And I'm not sure what Matt means either, but he knows his stuff. He'll probably explain it all for you via e-mail or something if you wanna mod your wii :]
Love the keyboard! Now I want one! What's the first item on your list? I completely don't understand it.
25 December 2009 03:51I don't have much of a wish list. I'm very fortunate to not want a lot of stuff, and to be able to buy most of what I do want. :)
*___* You...you haven't played Portal? There's like... four Portal references in my blog layout alone. Look closely at the header. Recognise the cube? ;D
25 December 2009 04:02You need to go play Portal. Like right now. That should be the only thing on your Christmas list now <_<
I waaaaant...
25 December 2009 04:08Camilla d'Errico print
Illustrated Jane Eyre
Big ass, cool headphones
Zombie bunny bag
Haircut
HG Foundation
and the diamond powder.
Oh, and my confederate. =( Wants him the most.
It really is unfair how much more you guys have to pay for stuff compared to us in the United States. My boyfriend is British, so whenever he needs something big, I'll buy it for him here and mail it to him, and it is STILL cheaper than what you have to pay in pounds!
25 December 2009 04:19Other than that, have a great Christmas!
Your wishlist is so clever and refined =P Well except 'big ass' headphones and a zombie bunny bag, but still pretty awesome.
25 December 2009 04:19I'll send you some of my diamond powder! And try Illamasqua rich foundation for insane staying power or Estée Lauder doublewear?
Wow, I love your nerdy wishlist! I want a rainbow keyboard!!!!! And the chopsticks, and, and, and... Well, I really want this: http://www.scopecity.com/detail.cfm?ProductID=4181
25 December 2009 04:24And to see things up close and personal... I want this, which is far more reasonable and it has USB cable to show on my Mac and also snapshot!!!
http://www.scopecity.com/detail.cfm?ProductID=5961&pn=CELESTRON%20Digital/Optical%20Biol.Microscope%20100-400X%20with%20USB%20Cable+Celestron+44330&sc=&tc=Microscopes
So there... geek out girlfriend!
xo
K
My skin is very dry still, but getting better. I'm afraid those would highlight my dryness. =(
25 December 2009 04:34I know I know! Once I get around to making one for myself to test the pattern (and because I WANT one so bad), we can talk commissions, for sure. It doesn't look hard to make at all, really, it's basic pattern of stitches. It would take longer than your gloves because it's so much bigger, but technically speaking, it would be easier (which reminds me, I'm going to try to send the gloves out on Saturday!).
25 December 2009 04:35I was thisclose to getting Coney Island, but I was being a bit thrifty with my sample ordering, though I did add it and then delete it to my cart a few times. >.> I know I really should try Estranged, but I actually already have a chartreuse from Fyrinnae that I like (OMGWTF). I love greens, though I'm really more of a purple, blue and teal gal, myself. ;)
I've never even heard of Portal! I've been severely lacking in gaming and stuffs for a long time. Bad A! *runs off to investigate this Portal thingamabob*
25 December 2009 04:54I used to have a certain weakness for Doc's. I only have three pair now, though. Knee highs in classic black, pink with lace inserts, and purple strappy ones. I wish they were not leather or I would continue to covet them and want to marry them.
25 December 2009 05:02Lindsey, I will want to talk to you about that scarf as well, k? ^.^
25 December 2009 05:14<3 Mario.
I'm fine if they're not as good, quality wise, right now I only use 4 different brushes total so anything would be an improvement!
25 December 2009 05:21I don't even know how to get my Wii connected to the internet lol. I would need step by step colour by numbers type of directions. Or one of my brothers could make themselves useful and do it for me!
Ohh man I love thinkgeek! LoveLoveLOVE!
25 December 2009 06:13And I've got a full sized faerie glamour waiting for me... I love those arcane magic shadows! Awesome wishlist XD
Happy Holidays!
Anneliese
The black Luxeed keyboard has been my dream for a while now too!
25 December 2009 08:08Kriste(triple n), thank you, merry Christmas :3 And I know, right? Places just tend to swap the currency symbol over without bothering to actually convert.
25 December 2009 10:02Rofl, Kristen. You're a tele/microscope geek? Astronomy, or do you just enjoy magnification?
25 December 2009 10:04That shower curtain you tweeted is pretty darn awesome, too - too bad I don't have a shower. (Or a house)
The Illamasqua one would, Lo, EL might not. If you have an EL counter handy, bug them for a sample.
25 December 2009 10:04Lindsey, estranged is incredible! I like it more then OMGWTF - definitely different colours.
25 December 2009 10:05I'll send you a sample of mine, though. If I get a full-size coney island you can have some of that, too. Orrrr just enter the new giveaway, and maybe win them all~
I shall watch the scarf space! Along with Lo ;x
Go, April! And don't come back until you know 'Still Alive' off by heart!
25 December 2009 10:06I've always been surprised that you committed to the vegan lifestyle etc so thoroughly, Grey. I thought you started going vegan for health reasons? It's impressive that it's a whole lifestyle now.
25 December 2009 10:07I don't own a single pair of docs, and I must remedy this.
Rofl, AxS! I'll ask my brother if he can give good instructions to pass along, maybe. He's a bigger geek than I am, computer genius and whatnot, but occasionally struggles to simplify. I spend a lot of my time making this face: o__@
25 December 2009 10:08Me too, Anneliese! I don't order half the stuff I want from them, because I get hit by huge customs charges every single time. Sigh. They see my thinkgeek box and want to punish me...
25 December 2009 10:09A friend already got me a bunch of Arcane Magic shadows today, I'm so excited! =D
Kirsty, isn't is sexy? It's no Optimus Prime keyboard, but is is a hell of a lot cheaper.
25 December 2009 10:09And...rainbow!
Plus, for gaming, I could light up my hotkeys <3
It's amazing how similar our current wish lists are! First, you must stop talking up all of these companies that offer sample pigments- I'm gonna go broke on $1 baggies!
25 December 2009 10:34Second, love Thinkgeek and Tokidoki rocks! I got a LE Tokidoki LeSportsac (a Playground pattern Ciao Ciao!) in 2006, I'd never heard of it and fell in love! I love me some horned milk boxes with italian labeling!!! I really need a good comfy pair of headphones, now that I've seen those...
Docs are also on my list, in patent leather, though mine are pink & yellow plaid- that goes with everything, right?
So...did you get anything checked off your list this Christmas? Or do I need to bookmark this post for this June? ;)
your xmas list is really cool!
25 December 2009 15:47so far I have had a pretty nerdy xmas. lol. My friend got me Spaced out: the very best of leonerd nimoy and william shantner cd. It's been on repeat all day. And 'santa' got me a model enterprise.
on the less nerdy side i got $50 to morgana's minerals, i am thinking of getting a blog just to right a reveiw for them. :)
Man those chopsticks are like the best thing i have ever seen, and they are sold out ..:(, I'll live....
marry christmas
live long and party hard,
zoe
The rainbow keyboard is awesome! I want one too! I love thinkgeek but I don't dare order from them cos I'm scared I'll have to pay hefty customs fees. :(
25 December 2009 19:25That scarf is so cool too! I wish I could crochet but it seems so hard. My mom tried to taught me to knit when I was younger and I couldn't get the hang of it. So I guess I'll probably be useless at crocheting too.
Ana! I was boot shopping after Christmas sales on Amazon, looking for good deals for myself, and look what I found! http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Martens-Womens-1460-Green/dp/B000W3YMI6/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=shoes&qid=1261768565&sr=1-14
25 December 2009 19:25Your size is on sale for $49.45 (U.S.). I figured you'd want me to pass it on, since I know how much you lust after those boots. ;)
Anastasia & Lindsey: The scarf doesn't look hard, it's just the plant at the top that might be tough. It's basically Pac-Man shaped, but you might be able to find instructions online & tweak them. I can't tell, but it looks like the rest of it is just half-double crochet or double crochet, and that's super easy... even easy enough to be a beginner project.
25 December 2009 21:15Have to add that I love the gloves you made Lindsey. I'd love to have the pattern, if possible. Also, your rainbow scarf inspired me to make my own, but I'm using an variegated yarn to make a long & skinny scarf done in double crochet stitches in a fillet design.
So nice to find other crafty, girly, geek girls. If only I was in the UK and about 15 years younger.:\ Could have used more gal pals like you around back then. ;)
HAHA i have that hello kitty!!
25 December 2009 21:35i too hate the swop dollar for pound sign prices...makes me sick sometimes.
Sorry Jessica! I'm just pretty excited to have found companies I love a lot, so I'm going a bit mad. I'm buying just as much if that helps any.
25 December 2009 21:39I got a lot of Fyrinnae - considering I posted my wishlist *ON* Christmas that's better than I expected! My brother got me an awesome 96 colour nyx lip palette which I'm incredibly pleased with, and a Lego t-shirt.
Force FX are nice and all singy dancing type sabers, but theyre not the best lol
25 December 2009 21:40Parks Sabers are very pretty..but are like cheese graters to hold.
If you want a unique true thing of beauty then i suggest you go here..ive lost many an hour drooling over these!
http://www.advanced-light.com/
Zoe - thanks to you now I've got Shatner on the Mount playing again!
25 December 2009 21:41I haven't tried Morgana but am teempted by their lipsticks, and Phyrra tells me there's an eyeshadow I need to own. I forgot the name. It's green, go figure.
If you ever want to do a guest review of them over here, just LMK! <3
You probably would have to, Gio. Sadly, that's why I hardly ever order from them anymore.
25 December 2009 21:43Omg Lindsey <3
25 December 2009 21:44Argh, I just saw a gorgeous tall pink pair, now, too--
They're in my size AND in the sale, but the shipping is £25. Still that's only £60 all-in, so it's definitely worth bearing in mind when I've got the cash, because that's a lot cheaper than I've been seeing them elsewhere even with the shipping.
Auroragyps - I can't crochet for anything although I know that Jaimi does, Lindsay does, and Grey can SPIN MILK and knit or other insane crafty things.
25 December 2009 21:46I have a link to the pattern for the gloves, so I'll mail them to you, although since both your and Lindey's e-mail addresses are listed in the contest comments now, maybe you two can chat about crocheting and Mario and win! =D
A beginner project, you say? *____* *Buys books on crocheting*
Omg, Sakara. What have you done to me, I was just getting to grips with paying $100 for a lightsaber...T_T aarrrghhh.
25 December 2009 21:52Those are really covetable. Curse youuu lady >:
yes, i would love to do a guest review! it would be nice for me to see if I like bloging before I get one of my own. :)
26 December 2009 00:05I'm gonna order when they re open so i'll email you when I get my stuff in the mail. :)
Zoe
auroragyps: Crafty geeks are always made of so much win! And yep, the scarf is all HDC, DC, and SC (I have a link to the pattern if you want it), so it definitely would be quite simple. Alas, I did not make the rainbow scarf, Ana bought it from Shanalogic, I believe. And I'm not in the UK, I'm actually in the States, and man, you don't know how many times I've wished the opposite (that I were 15 years older!), since most of my online friends are in their mid-30s, and I'm in my very early 20s. Are you on Ravelry, but any chance? I found the pattern for the gloves, as well as the scarf pattern on there. It really is a great resource, and I highly recommend you join, if you haven't already.
26 December 2009 00:19Ana: Don't buy crochet books! There are plenty of excellent tutorials online, and then you wouldn't have to pay for books. And if you take to crocheting well, you could make your own awesome scarf! :)
Ana: Listen to Lindsey: Don't buy books. Look online or hit the library. I recommend the book "Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker". She explains things so well. I'm trying to learn how to knit and her books on that are amazing.
26 December 2009 00:34Lindsey: I will join Ravelry today. I just finished up crocheting 2 dice pouches for Xmas gifts and now I have the crocheting bug, so more patterns are awesome. Thanks for the tip.
Nice! I love tokidoki things too.. my friend got me a knockoff tokidoki bag from France which I cherish very much, haha. I know this is a late response but your wishlist really made me smile because it's so full of win.
27 December 2009 08:23I was trying to justify the keyboard to my mother a few days ago..."But mooooom, color-coded buttons will make me a more efficient raider AND quicker at PvP. I need it!" I have never seen a stare so blank.
28 December 2009 06:30P.S. I haven't commented much since the Lime Crime debacle (wait, can I use those words without being shot by now?), because I didn't think you needed another "ooh, pretty" on each post. But do know that they're there. You're at the top of my RSS reader.
P.P.S. Morgana's lipsticks are awesome, but I'm not as impressed by the eyeshadow I got... I think it's Sinister or Sinister Presence or something. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's just not as ultrafantastic as I was expecting. Plus, I tend to overwork/overblend, and if you do that to this shadow it goes from subdued green shimmer to sooty black smear, but that's a personal problem.
Fantastic, Zoe <3 Just drop me an e-mail whenever you're ready.
28 December 2009 21:33Lindsey & Aurora - Eeek! Okay, no book buying for me. I probably would've just downloaded them anyway.
28 December 2009 21:35It's like you're speaking Dutch, between you, but if you say it's a very simple pattern I may well look into having a go, I tend to be pretty good at crafty things!
Thank you, Kim! I'm lucky - we've got a shop here which sells a ton of knock-off tokidoki type bags. I might go back and grab myself a backpack or two, too.
28 December 2009 21:35Corvida, pfft my ego can never have too many "ooh, pretty"s --
28 December 2009 21:39Er. What I mean to say is... Well, I love all comments, particularly the more bizarre ones. There is more Lime Crime stuff coming up, though. I haven't forgotten, I just had an overwhelming "thank god, normal blogging" response last time, so figured I'd get some other stuff out of the way, first. It's lovely to know people still read, though <3
I've run into the overblending problem a lot (try using Fyrinnae's Pixie epoxy?), I definitely want to try out their lipsticks, so maybe I'll pick up and eyeshadow or two, as well, for comparison.
I always thought $30 was a little too much to pay for that small of a Weighted Companion Cube. There's a pattern for a bigger version floating around somewhere on the web - my mom made me a WCC for Christmas one year using that pattern. :)
4 January 2010 19:34Cool list!
I agree, Belinda. I've love a giant companion cube beanbag, that'd be awesome, but I don't know anyone IRL who's remotely sewing-talented. I made myself a papercraft cube!
7 January 2010 01:03You may have the most awesome mother ever.
