Things you can do (as my Tumblr friend) to celebrate the momentous occasion of me turning 22 on December 22nd:

1. Ask me questions. Everybody likes getting questions in their ask box.
2. Mail me a card or gift. If you’re not creepy (basically if we’ve actually talked before), I’d probably consider giving you my address. Maybe.
3. Send me sweet nothings (aka happy birthday messages).
4. Post awesome things that remind you of me (& tag “sydneysometimes” in them because I never have time to scroll through my whole dash).
5. Give me your credit card info so I can buy myself gifts (totally kidding. Please do NOT do that).
6. Eat a cake (Yes, a whole cake) in my honor & post a picture of it. & tag my username!
7. Tell your friends to follow me. I’m trying to get to 200 followers.
8. Message me! Most of my followers have never even talked to me. & I tried to talk to some of you & never got replies. So tell me about yourself, & let’s be friends!
9. I need a fun anon. Mine disappeared when he/she found out I was married.
10. Post a bunch of puppy/ Hunger Games/ Beauty & the Beast/ Alice in Wonderland stuff so I can look at it.

Or any combination of these!

Just kidding. I mean… you could get these as a wedding gift if you wanted, I guess, but they’re not things Laker & I need… Just stuff I want. Which wouldn’t be much fun for Laker (:

Anyway. This is my current top ten wishlist, in no particular order. Guess I better start saving…

1. Damask Yoga Tote - $16 at www.mixedbagdesigns.com

I’d like to start doing yoga. I should probably get a mat before I get this tote, but it’s just so darn cute! (P.S. this site has tons of other cute bags/storage items for reasonable prices!)

2. Oklahoma Flag Tank Top - $24 at www.bombsawayart.com

These are wonderful.

3. Pride & Prejudice Sweatshirt - $42 at www.outofprintclothing.com

Okay… It’s Pride & Prejudice… It has a peacock on it… AND the purchase of anything from this site donates books to kids in impoverished areas. Perfection. I’ve been lusting after it for about two years now.

4. Some sort of “Mr. & Mrs.” Pillows

These are so cute! If you know of where I can get some… Please let me know! Our bedding is black & white, so it’ll match just about anything!

5. Oklahoma Cutting Board - $40 from AHeirloom on Etsy

The heart goes on the city of your choice (: I’d probably pick OKC… Since that’s where Laker & I met/will be living (:

6. Nail Polish

I have an addiction. These are all the shades I’m currently wanting to try…

Mesmerize by Essie

OPI NYC Ballet Collection

Bobbing for Baubles by Essie

7. Beauty & the Beast Beauty Set - $16 from Amazon

I don’t even know what it smells like, but it has Belle on it; therefore, I need it.

8. Hunger Games Katniss Locket - $9.95 from EclecticOutlet on Etsy

This is one of my favorite quotes from the book, which unfortunately was left out of the movie.

9. Hunger Games Mockingjay Journal - $8.00 from CrimsonHollow on Etsy

This is wonderful.

10. Topstyler - $109.50 on Amazon (But I’m broke so I’ll probably end up getting the $40 knock-off)

Confession: I only want this because it’s what the hair stylist for the Hunger Games movies used for the top of Katniss’s braid.

Day 1 - Christmas List

All I really want is to figure out what to do about school next year, & be healthy again. & lots of snow.

But if you must know some material things…

These shoes are $20 from Urban Outfitters.

The purchase of this sweatshirt (& anything else from this site) also donates a book to an underprivileged child (: www.outofprintclothing.com 

Lord of the Rings Extended Editions on DVD.

Some kind of cool Darth Vader tattoo

Arwen’s Evenstar necklace

Tickets to The Civil Wars show in Tulsa in January. I’d kill to see them live again.

& a Canon or Nikon DSLR would be wonderful (:

House-Warming Gifts for Myself:

This adorable owl cutting board from modcloth.com

These feather mirrored wall decorations, also from ModCloth

Me-Warming Gift for Myself:

I’ve wanted this sweatshirt for ages. Plus, it donates a book to a poor country. From outofprintclothing.com

These dresses, which I have no real purpose for, or anywhere to wear them, but have talked myself into buying anyway in the hopes that some semi-formal occasion will come up:

Both from charlotterusse.com

1. A cute apron. Probably just going to make one myself.

2. A clear umbrella.

3. Black glitter shorts.

4. Plain-colored knee high socks. These are surprisingly difficult to find.

5. A big parachute like this.

6. Shorts with cool pockets. Again, I’ll probably just make some.

7. This dress. I’ll have to make that. Pretty sure I don’t know of anywhere that would sell it.

8. This romper. There are VERY few rompers that I like, but I love this one.

9. This dress/shirt. Still out of stock :(

10. This sweatshirt. I WILL get it eventually. When it’s not 113 degrees outside.

11. Taylor Momsen’s wardrobe.

12. Lucy Hale’s wardrobe. Actually, just everything she’s worn on Pretty Little Liars.

13. A backpack that looks exactly like this, but doesn’t cost over $500.

14. A cute little nook.

15. A bright colored door.

16. The library from Beauty & the Beast.

17. Still lusting after these flowers.

18. An albino fox, like Kristofferson on Fantastic Mr. Fox.

19. A fennec fox.

20. A bunch of ducklings. Plus that one awkward, ugly duckling.

I realize you are a fictional character on Pretty Little Liars, but could I maybe have your wardrobe? Particularly these few items?

Love, Sydney

1. I still want a Harp & Lyre tank. I’ve got the baseball tee, but it’s summer, & this is so legit. $15 at www.harpandlyre.bigcartel.com

2. I also still want this Pride & Prejudice sweatshirt. It’s one of the greatest pieces of clothing I’ve ever seen. $42 at www.outofprintclothing.com

3. Head Country BBQ Sauce. Caroline & I were just talking about food & BBQ sauce came up. I. Love. BBQ Sauce. & Head Country is the best. Plus, they originated in my hometown (:

4. One of the new Eloi Eloi shirts the guys are ordering. I don’t have pictures yet, but you’ll be seeing them very soon, I’m sure. They’re pretty sick (:

5. The new Manchester Orchestra CD. It will be out in 3 days! So stoked!

6. Cornerstone ticket! I really really REALLY want to be there.

7. Tickets to see the Beauty & the Beast ballet on June 3rd. I WILL be there. Even if I have to go by myself.

8. Speaking of Beauty & the Beast… My mom happens to have a conference in Chicago during the exact dates of Cornerstone, which is pretty close to Chicago, where the Beauty & the Beast Broadway show happens to be during the same dates. Anyways. I need tickets.

9. A copy of Alice in Wonderland. Vintage would be wonderful, but new is fine too. I’m currently re-reading Through the Looking Glass & What Alice Found There. It’s been my favorite since I was little (:

10. I want to dye a peacock feather in my hair. I’ve never seen anyone who has one before (Nicki Minaj attempted once but it looked disgusting  - see below - & I can’t stand her, so it doesn’t count.) & I love peacocks, so why not? I’ve already got a spot bleached, & Sara really wants to do it for me. So… I need votes. Peacock feather hair, yes or no?

I feel like it would improve my overall quality as a human being.
