I found the most wonderful community today. I know no one uses LJ anymore and everyone I know here is on Myspace but I still love looking around and I'm glad I did! I've been going through people's wishlists and I'm going to be sending so many cards - and I'm going to send copies of Twilight! I think I've become too obsessed but that's okay as long as everyone reads it ^^
holiday_wishes
STEP ONE
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you. [Note: Your home address is not required!]
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
STEP TWO
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
My Wishlist
1. Snail mail - I love getting mail and I'd love to see the work of all you crafty people out there, whether it be a card, letter, small package, etc! I'll take anything, and I'll send something in return!
2. Everyone reads Twilight - This is my favorite book. Ever. It is so amazing... I've decided to spread the word and now I've gotten a little circle of friends at school obsessed with it. I highly suggest it! It's by Stephenie Meyer, you can see more about it at www.stepheniemeyer.com
3. Anything with skulls - I'd love cute little accessories with skulls, because I love skulls! It can just be something small, necklaces, pins, whatever, and it can be something old you don't want any more, I don't mind <3<3
4. Holiday cards for my boyfriend - I love this surprises and I want to share this with him :) His name is Chris, and they can just be sent to me
5. For others to give surprises - I love giving surprises! One year I made cute little holiday things, like bookmarks and cards, and I anonymously left them on my friends' desk xD It was fun! I hope others will give little holiday surprises too ^^
6. Cute stationary/stickers - My family is from Hong Kong and I always buy cute little things there to take back - I can never get enough! Even just one or two stickers will make me happy!
7. Sleep - I know no one can grant me this but at this point I'm thinking college is going to be easier than this school year. How about this - I know it's kind of odd - dedicate one hour of your sleep to me. It'll make me happy =D
8. Any burned cds/dvds - I'm up to experiencing new things so I'd love it if you'd share all your favorites with me!
9. Plane tickets to Idaho - Haha, impossible, I know. I sure do miss them over there though.
10. Love - not for me but for everyone!
