Do not take more than you need when those around you do not have enough.

Yeah. I wish the whole world would go by that.

In general I am not a greedy person. When we first moved into this house, I was a little weirded out by how omg!stuff!stuff!stuff! I was having to be. But I was having to be that way! We DID need stuff!

And how's that going anyway... yeah. Have the coffee table (so I can put my feet on it) but do NOT have a way of hanging the television (which means we do have a television) and also, no table, kitchen, dining, or otherwise. That's still on the list. We do, however, have some bedroom furniture that I got from my sister. It was my mom's when she was a kid, and it's since been painted blue. My sister considers the blue paint to have ruined the furniture, and therefor didn't really want it, but, my bedroom is blue, so, now we have furniture in there.

But if, for the sake of this meme, I have to be greedy, hmmmm *rubs hands together* what material possessions do I desire?

Day Five: Seven Excessive Items I WantWantWant

1. An Apple TV. You know, to go with my new big television. I really, really am not much for TV, as in, TV that's just randomly on. I find it very, very annoying, although somewhat entertaining, and then, see, I get annoyed that I've been entertained by something that I've already decided is annoying. So, yeah. I would like this.

2. Panda cigarettes. This is true greed. Number one was something expensive that I totally don't need but would be cool. But Panda cigarettes, well, I just want them because they're the best of the best, and have to be imported, and make me feel special just for having them, and like I am OH. SUCH. A TRAVELER. Yep. Greedy me (not actual me, cause actual me quit smoking...) wants Panda cigarettes.

3. A car that doesn't look like a piece of trash. No link, cause I don't even care what kind of car it is. It's not even like I have my ideal car picked out (see, I told you I'm not actually greedy!) I don't need a car, because I live close to plenty of public transportation, and besides that, um, it's not like I can drive or will be able to drive any time soon, or will even be able to ride in a car if someone else is driving. But I would like to just HAVE a car, and one that doesn't look like it came out of the garbage, just so I can be like, oh yeah sure. You can take my car. Just bring me back some jelly beans.

4. A flatscreen monitor mounted to the wall next to my front door that displays the weather forecast. Totally unnecessary, I know, but this is the future, damnit, I want it to feel like it! Again, don't need this. I just think it would be freakin' cool.

5. Oh. I've got a good one. An original piece of artwork. Like something that belongs in a museum, so everyone can see it. I want one all to MYSELF. THAT is greed for sure.

6. A mountain dulcimer. Not that I can play one right now, and not that I know how to play one at all, and not that I don't already have instruments I don't really know how to play yet (violin, cough cough), I kinda want another one! See, this is greed, where I'm trying to amass more than what I need of something!

7. A TARDIS. Duuhhhh. And I'm not sharing that either!
