(if I had a job/more money)
1. A (Vintage, NOT Electrical) Typewriter:
As mentioned in the previous post, one of my goals is to write more letters. But imagine how much more fun that would be if I could do it on a gorgeous typewriter!
I have always wanted one, since I was a teenager.
I think it was because I always wanted to be a writer and it just seemed so much more authentic to do it on a typewriter. Now I am falling back in love with vintage (I blame the blogosphere) and I am keeping an eye out on trade me and op shops for an affordable (cute!) one.
2. A Record Player:
As with the typewriter, this is another thing that I have wanted for years. My mother’s old one is still in the house, along with her (small, but containing a couple of gems) record collection. Unfortunately the needle on it has been broken for as long as I can remember and apparently it is insanely expensive to replace them. So I am looking for one of my own.
I have my eye on that gorgeous black one that you can buy for a disgusting price from Iko Iko for years now, but if I can find a more affordable (but still adorable) one on trade me or op-shopping then I will definitely snap it up.
Then I will have to make a trip down to Wellington to spend large amounts of money at Slow Boat and Real Groovy to start my collection.
3. Derby Skates:
For obvious reasons I want to get derby skates. Because I can’t practice with the derby girls in mine, and none of the ones there fit my abnormally large feet very well (a month on I still have blisters from spending 3 hours in borrowed skates).
However because they must be shipped here from the states they are very expensive and will probably have to wait until after Christmas.
4. A Polaroid Camera:
I know the film is expensive and hard to get, but these things are just SO COOL! I have always wanted one, and thanks to the online picture editor that I use I can make fake Polaroid pictures, but none of them are as good as the real thing.
5. New Laptop:
If you have ever seen my laptop then you know it wants to die. It wants to be put out of its misery. It can’t play sound, it can’t download an anti-virus or spyware (so I can’t use it to check my emails or go on facebook or else a guy from China logs in and changes all my details), and it won’t let me use anything like Microsoft word. It’s five years old and all it wants in life is for me to let it die. But I won’t. Not just yet. It must live as a zombie for just a little while longer.
6. My Tattoo:
There are two that I want done (before Christmas if possible). One is the little matching music heart that I am getting with a friend (eventually, when we are both in the same town at the same time) and the one that I was supposed to get done next week (during the last week of August, a year since my Grandfather died). This one is his favourite waiata, and one of the ones we sung at his funeral. Unfortunately it will cost around $300 and I just don’t have the money anymore.
