Birthday Wishes

So it is almost a month exactly until I turn 22, and even though I'm not really expecting gifts, here is what I would wish for if I could...



'Looking for Alaska' by John Green. It comes with great shame to inform that I am a nerdfighter, though I haven't read any of John Green's work or do I even post on nerdfighters, at all in fact.


Pam Beesley bobblehead from The Office. I've always kind of related myself to Pam, being a relatively quiet and timid person with a gift in creative arts, I can also be a great practical joker.


Ticket to Jónsi's concert at the Palace Theatre, Melbourne, in August. I've enjoyed Sigur Rós for quite some time now and when I first listened to the solo album 'Go' I had it pretty much set in my heart that I will go see this man live, since Sigur Rós are on hiatus for now.

Some of my favourite photographs that I or friends have taken, blown up, printed and framed. I've never had the thought or afforded to be able to do this.


An apron, particularly with a pretty pattern, like this or that one. I spend a lot of the time in the kitchen, baking and helping mum cook dinner. But for the major part, baking sweet treats. =]

Postcards, new and old. I have an ever growing collection of postcards at home here, that are actually stored away until I have somewhere to put/display them. But I do like postcards that are unique and stand out from others. I collect them from all sorts of places, I tend to make sure I pay a visit to Adelaide Central Markets when I can and pick up some free postcards.



Need I say more? Hahah... but I know it's coming, one day soon. And I'm excitedly looking forward to it ever so patiently.

'Things that are handmade are things that come from the heart' is a little saying of mine (which I happened to come up with right now, I'm so crafty!). Handwritten letters, hand-painted pictures, unique jewellery, designed t-shirts and home-baked cupcakes! There are just so many things people can make! I just adore things that are created from the heart.


Guitar lessons! Elliott has left his first acoustic guitar with me, in hope that one day I will know how to play it. It's kind of difficult to get lessons from Elliott right seeing as he is currently on the other side of the country, but it would be nice to get some lessons so I can suprise Elliott the next I see him.

Small and simple things that are nice. Hugs. Conversations over coffee. Cake. Flowers. Smiles. Time spent enjoying each other's company. Compliments. Letters. Laughter. Phone calls. All these things and a lot more! If anything, I'd like all of those things wrapped in a big box tied up with string.


Love, Karina.
