10 day meme, day four

(getting caught up here since I skipped 3 days)

Seven wants

1. Either a raise or a job that pays better. Of course, I'm not looking elsewhere at the moment because I need to re-establish some career stability, so that boils down to a raise.

2. For my business to take off successfully once I finally launch my shop this fall, at a pace I can keep up with.

3. A clean house.

4. A girlfriend. Yes, seriously. Ian and I have agreed that while there will be no dating of other people of the opposite gender by either of us, I am allowed to have a girlfriend if I meet someone who I click with and who Ian also gets along with on a platonic basis. (and actually my ideal thing would be to have something like what yrsa has with her SOs). He's allowed to have a boyfriend if he wants, too, but he doesn't seem particularly inclined that way.

5. A vacation, preferably somewhere interesting and not-hot, where I can see things relevant to my areas of interest in the SCA (ie. western Europe and Scandinavia).

6. A couple of tattoos, and to get my nose piercing re-done (yes, again).

7. A makeover. Anyone want to help me?

A couple of bonus wants, because these popped into my head after I'd posted this/

8. To stop feeling so damned invisible all the time.

9. A 'Ship. I know it's considered tacky to want it but this is my own personal journal and I don't care. All my friends have them... *whine*

10. To be able to participate in the SCA more than I am now, and have Ian participate with me.

As an abstract concept I'd love a girlfriend, too, but one hasn't appeared yet.

I had to read 9 several times before I realized you were not talking about a large sea-worthy vessel. Would you rather get one through excellence in arts, service, or combat?

Re: 9 - I was intentionally vague in my wording of that. :) Combat won't happen, partly because I don't do any of the martial arts, except for archery on a very casual basis (so far). The most likely would be arts at this point, I do service too but I do much more in the arts stuff. (please note this isn't me asking for people to write in for me either, I was just being silly and whining. :)

I don't think it counts as silly and whinging, it came across more as wistful to me.
