Prompt: "What are the top ten things you'd buy with your last 20 dollars?"

[[Okay, okay, I do acknowledge the irony between the words-of-the-prompt and the group name.]]
The List:
10) Catfood.
No, I'm serious. You ever have a hungry cat in the house? It should be listed among the Great Plagues.
9) Sushi - three boxes.
Because nowadays, that's all a twenty will get you. Alternatively, I'd go to a Chinese buffet twice.
8) A lot of plastic spoons.
And by a lot, I mean a lot. I'd drill (or melt) small holes in the top and bottoms and then tie them together to make me a cloak.
7) Newest Muse disk.
Black Holes and Revelations. I have all the songs on my computer, but there is that extra satisfaction of having the actual album in hand.
6) Post-cards and post-marks and a telephone directory book.
Though I can probably get the last for free. Then I'd close my eyes, pick and choose, and send post-cards with holiday/non-holiday greeting to the unlucky people randomly selected. I'd skip anyone whose last name starts with A. The beginning of the alphabet gets enough attention anyhow.
5) A year long subscription to the most addicting site I can find and give it to my least favorite person.
I'll be both doing good and potentially dragging their offline life to a grinding halt. The question that arises here is, will this earn me bad karma or good?
4) Three umbrellas.
They would be very different colors and bright. I'd leave them, open, in the middle of a walkway in the historic downtown (at random intervals, making a bit of a triangle) and then, with my last five dollars, sit in a nearby coffee shop, watching through a window.
3) Lavender bush and a pot.
Because.
2) A green scarf.
I'd hang it around the birch outside my window. I think the tree's been jealous of the others' coloring. Evergreens everywhere.
1) Very large candle.
One of those huge ones. It would be blue and purple. I'd light it and see how long it would take for it to burn down. Days? Weeks? I wouldn't cheat and look at the label. Promise.(Fire hazard? Yesplz)
