How Low Can You Go?

I can't believe I'm actually doing this but a bunch of people have been bugging me about what I want for my birthday so I'm giving in. The truth is I want to forget about my birthday completely as it only serves as a reminder to everyone around me of how much younger I am, but since other people seem determined to remember it, these are things that would make me happy to receive as presents:

A rice cooker (like Star's)

Gift certificates for Staples (new pens), somewhere that develops photos (so I can print Wildfire tour photos), or Ikea (I'm saving up for a new bookshelf)

Acoustic guitar lessons
