dear santa
you know, i don’t really do xmas, never been on your radar, but i’ve been pretty good this year. ok fine, i’ve been alright but i’ve been trying really hard to be nice, most of the time, usually. so i think some xmas, new years whatever presents are warented. kind of like incentive to keep it up with the good and the nice. and since you’ll be in the neighborhood on monday night i thought maybe you could drop some stuff off? you know if you have time… any or all of the following would really make my life right now.
*keep sneakers
*those sea urchin spines i didn’t win on ebay
*stricter recycling LAWS for the spiz and anywhere else just as lax
*no more torture ever anywhereÂ
*the spectrum quilt kit, to go with the sneakers
*self discipline
*recycline strainer
*serious efforts in green building and development everywhere, not just portland.
*potlatch t-shirt
*i’m totes serious about the ending torture thing
*a warm safe home for anyone who wants one
*peace on earth, good will towards everything at least for a week so everyone can see how rad it could be
i know it’s a big list, too big to maybe manage for dec. 25th or even jan. 1st, but remember? my birthday is in january, and i am totally into giving you an extension.
thank you in advance, let me know if you need a source list!
LOVE,
derya hanife altan
ps: some salad tongs and car insurance would be awesome too. no pressure!

Derya-
Got your message– so glad you have my book! One thing I pointedly left off my Xmas list was a lost library book fine. I’ll call you on the way back down!

don’t worry, huge recycling overhaul when we get back. composting & more! we probably won’t be able to pass any laws, but maybe we can get the paper to write about it so we can spread the word ’round town.
