Well, it will be on the 16th.  Which is good, because now you have just enough time to begin showering me with praise and gifts.  (Amazon gift cards & cash are always A+++ too.)

I think now I’m supposed to say something humble like, “Of course, you don’t have to buy me anything, just your good wishes are fine, yada yada ya,” but we’re adults here.  You don’t have to do anything except get up each day, and that’s only because wetting the bed is unpleasant.

Below are several Amazon wishlists (because I’m organized to death), so those of you who want to buy me things can, and those of you who don’t can just sit in awe of my sweet taste in everything.

• Chicana Life:  The list where I slowly try to connect to lost culture.
• Death:  It’s important and fascinating and we might as well get used to it.
• History:  World Wars and queer histories, sometimes together.
• Queer:  While most of the history part is above (why can’t I cross-reference things, Amazon???), here’s lots of fiction and historical fiction.

There are more, but like, bro, just shower me in books.  I don’t have anywhere near enough space for them all, but one should never let that stop one.

Lastly, if you’re uncomfortable with this post directly asking for what I want….
