it seems like a really sweet (as in nice) idea
Holiday Wishing List
♥ Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten 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 to 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) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
♥ 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 friends list (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 one person'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. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
leave me a comment if you want my contact info.
1) Scrubs seasons 4-6 on DVD
2) A small gathering of my carrollton rogues for some christmas and kristina cheer. I will be home Dec 22nd through Jan 5th. That's two whole weeks of super swim action time.
3)Garrison Keillor audio thing I've wanted it since it came out and could never justify the purchase to myself.
4) Any Eels CD except "Daisies of the Galaxy" I already own that one.
5) The new(-ish) Tolkien book Tales from the Perilous Realm
6) Any music that I should be listening to.
7) some good fiction that I will like lots
8) Any of these items: red robot socks, cherry pi tote: it's supreme cleverness!, kicking it old school (size medium), any of these panties will make me smile, however, I am not sure about my size. I weight approx 130 lbs. your guess is as good as mine
9) blue jeans (slightly used is perfect). I've lost some weight and all mine are too big. I believe that I am probably about an 8. the only real requirement is that the legs be big enough to cover half my shoe (boot cut or bigger)
10) To have the chance to hug all of my friends when I come home. I miss you guys.
