I love this community.

1) Extra Userpic Space. I'm a total icon whore. I have over a hundred icons saved on this little computer from 1998, and it just can't take it anyway. I'd really appreciate the extra space.

2) Music. More specifically, music by Belle & Sebastian. I'm told I'd like them, but I have no idea where to start. Guidance would be appreciated.

3) A Donation to the World Health Organization. In my International Relations class, we have a simulation in which each student is assigned a country or organization and must interact on a message board as if s/he were that country/organization. I got the pleasure of representing the World Health Organization. I hate to be sappy, but this has really given me a new perspective. One of my assignments was to create a few plans to deal with issues currently existing in the world (HIV/AIDS in Madagascar, Yellow Fever in Mali) using the resources currently available to WHO. Through this, I realized how much more WHO would be able to accomplish with just a little more money. Please, donate anything you can. It would mean a lot to me, but it would mean even more to those you'd be helping.

4) A critique of this. I'm frustrated because I know it could be better, but all people say is how it's "good" or "cute." It's frustrating.

5-10) This one is so big it needs six numbers to hold it. A bassoon for azuredamsel. Because she deserves one. She's stuck using the nasty one the school owns for... reasons. Right now, she's too good for the instrument she's being forced to use. Seriously, I know she can go so far, and I don't want her having to use the nasty one anymore. So if anyone just... happens to have a bassoon laying around? Yeah.
