Small Talk: Ze Wishlist

Two days ago was my birthday (and the first official day of summer, don't ya know!). I'm seventeen. Crazy stuff.

Anyhoo, my apologies for not posting; between adorable cousins, pancit, lumpia shanghai (egg rolls), and tap rehearsal, I didn't really get a chance to plug in and type up.

To compensate, today's Small Talk post is two wishlists - le tangible and le intangible (seventeen things each, for good measure).
