I think I'll join in this year!

I have absolutely no objection to second-hand items, if they're in decent condition. But something that is ratty and gross is also okay if (a) the coolness/weirdness/rarity of the item offsets the bad condition or (b) the rattiness and grossness is the whole point of the item. :mikihead:

General: Weird stuff, especially weird old stuff, is good.

Books: See above. I have a particular love of unusual old books about languages (duh), and Armenian and artificial international languages are especially welcome. Whackadoodle pseudo-science is also good.

Knick-knacks: Weird and/or creepy things are good. Skulls, snakes, dragons, or triceratopses (even cute ones) will fit my decor nicely. Smaller is better, since I don't have a lot of room.

Clothing: Interesting and funny t-shirts are the cornerstone of my personal style. Engrish t-shirts are especially welcome. Size XL preferred, but I can also fit into an L. Again, second-hand is not a problem; I've bought some of my favorite shirts at thrift stores.

Jewelry: Not really interested in jewelry, unless you're talking about unusual character watches or World War I German military decorations. XD

Food: I like sweet things, spicy things, and especially things that are sweet and spicy at the same time. Ginger and wasabi are my two favorite elements of Japanese cuisine. No food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Ephemera: I collect interesting postcards (new or used). See my posts in the Recent Purchases Thread for examples.

If people could provide lists of their favorite H!P members (including OGs), I might be able to add some bonus goodies to someone's packageā€¦. Some of my favorites are Yaguchi Mari, Kago Ai, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Iida Kaori, Ichii Sayaka, Takahashi Ai, Kamei Eri, Fujimoto Miki, Niigaki Risa, Sayashi Riho, Heike Michiyo, Shibata Ayumi, and Tsugunaga Momoko.

Yay erliaz!!
Hey BerryzGiraffe, did you want me to add you to the committed list?

As for myself~

Likes: Candy, snacks. The colors green, brown, white. Nature related-things, both plants and animals. Dinosaurs. Stuff about where you're from (especially if it's a different country... note, I collect foreign coins). Earrings (stainless steel). Needlessly cute things. Creepy stuff. My favorite H!P girls are Airi (Erika), Yurina, Zukki/Haruka/Masaki (Tsuji/Kago), Dawa/Meimi, Karin. Also Kikkawa Yuu, YuiKaori, StylipS. I'm a HUGE Tsunku/Sharan Q fan.

Dislikes: Sports, spicy foods. Disney. Coffee. Top 40 music. I don't really wear much jewelry... though, again, cute things are cute.

Allergies: I'm a vegetarian, so no meat or meat products. This includes obvious ingredients like meat, fish, or beef tallow/lard, but also other things you might otherwise think innocuous, such as gelatin, carmine, fish oil, etc. But milk/eggs/honey are fine. And I'm technically allergy-free. Bring on the peanuts! :hehe:

Edited my post with H!P favourites, and added that I can slip in a MM14 concert good since the graduation concert is after the deadline here, but before the time I'd be shipping things.

I'm not on the list
:sad:


Likes: Food and things that have to do with food like cookbooks, cooking utensils, spices/herbs, etc. etc. I've also been trying to read more but that's more off and on lol.
Dislikes: I don't particularly have any dislikes but as I get older I realize I'm not much of a tsotchke kind of person. Don't get me wrong, I'm just a much a consumer as the next person but I like my stuff to serve a function.

I don't mind any type of gift. Perhaps something I can't get in the UK? Like a local drink or sweeties. If you can get H!P stuff then anything with Zukki.

I'm definitely in this year since I couldn't do last year. \:

I like... useful stuff. xD; I'm a writer so anything related to that (notebooks/pens/papers) is a lot of fun and sexy stuff. *_*
I also love scrunchies and stuff like that. *_* and earrings.. bigger=better. Not a big fan of gold etc though.
Favorite colors are purple, black, blue, teal, white, silver... but I like all colors really.

Don't have many dislikes at all... uuh... boring stuff? xD; Sorry to be difficult. :P
