Wishlist

[pez]

Right. Over the last few years you guys have taught me how to shamelessly hold my hand out and ask for presents**, so here are my Amazon and Firebox wishlists, both currently being updated, should anyone like to start shopping for Christmas. I'd make an IWOOT wishlist too except they don't have such a function.

**What have you people done to me? I used to be "omg festive season/birthday I'm gonna hide for a while!" The shame! The shame!

So where are everyone else's wishlists?

Senior management just sent out another message that made us all in the office go "WTF" collectively.

Also. My name (the one I use for work) is only made up of four letters (including surname). Why is it that so many people manage to get it wrong?

Faize cosplay progress is slower than I hoped. The wig hasn't arrived yet anyway. Now making the gold shoulder things (coming along well, need to spray paint) and the front... crotch piece (?) which I managed to melt in my first attempt, oops. Luckily I hadn't gone very far with it at the time and starting over was easy.

Edward (who's less Edward now that he's had a haircut thank god) finished watching Code Geass season 1 and is now asking for S2. :D He also helped me get some camouflage trousers from an army surplus store that are cheaper and a hundred times better quality than the ones I've seen elsewhere. :D

It's because people would rather try to spell Liz's name than yours :3

(If you really want it, I'll try to get you my Amazon list at some point :P)

Liz's name isn't difficult at all. :P

(Yes I really want it!)

I am wondering what there is in your work name that could possibly cause confusion. I suspect I don't even want to know. People manage to spell my mum's surname wrong all the time and that one should be really obvious, if only for reasons of familiarity. ;;;

(I'm trying to remember what I actually wanted so I can make my amazon wishlist a bit more up to date, heh. There was stuff! I know there was stuff.)

They like to change the O to a U and replace an M with an N, and sometimes call me Mr. orz

(There is always stuff!)

I count and I count and I can't turn any combination of your family name and your other names into four letters! D: Do you use initials?

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

The name I use on Facebook!

[solaas.livejournal.com]

But that's six letters including the surname! ;;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

It's made up of four letters...

[solaas.livejournal.com]

...right. That one was more than a little oblique. I see what you mean, but....um. XD

Anyway, back to your point - yes, it is quite amazing that they manage to get your name wrong. Massive, massive fail.

Mine are on amazon.co.uk, yours? ;)

Because they don't believe that names should be that short :| :| My last name contains a q. Guess how many times it's been spelt with a qu?
