and I am a writer, a writer of fictions

and i've written pages upon pages, trying to rid you from my bones

I want to write a post about how I would like to receive this album as a birthday present, without anyone who isn't my housemates thinking it would be a good idea to buy it for me, but am not sure how to do it. LJ might be a better idea but I know Emma never reads mine (although I am not sure she reads this either).

This is not meant to be mean, it is just that presents make me uncomfortable when they come from anyone who is not already obligated to buy me one (Eric you are not obligated but I will beat you up if you forget to do this).

Housemates, obviously you have to buy me something to stop me mincing around for the rest of the year in a bad mood. If you don't know me well enough to have thought of something already, please consider this a subtle hint!
