The etiquette I learned in my culture of origin makes me squirm at the LJ custom of posting one's gift wish list to one's journal (which isn't a judgement on people who do it, it's a statement about me) but this is too funny to pass up.

porcinea memes,
If there is someone on your friends list who you would like to have go buy a really nice skein of yarn for you, post this exact same sentence in your journal.

I have the beginnings of a stash of really nice single skeins of yarn and I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I guess I could produce a weird patchwork garment. Or maybe annoy my cat by making a lot of little sweaters for her.

I have posted my wish list -- publicly, too -- not because I wanted people on LJ to give me stuff, but because my relatives were bugging me to do so. (They don't have LJs.) Posting worked better than email because I could change it if necessary.

IIRC correctly, the first two things one my list were "world peace" and "Russell Crowe's home phone number."

That makes sense.

I hope you get your first two items!

Actually, I went back and checked. Russell Crowe's phone number was fourth on the list, after world peace, an end to hunger and homelessness, and a new president. While the other three were totally unrealistic, I am thoroughly upset I didn't get that last one :)
