When you wish upon a star!
Taken from animecrush and wyldkyss
Step One
Make a post (public, friends-locked, 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 an icon of 'X' 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.
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 rules with this project, no guarantees, 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 Wish List
1) first and foremost, I just want more time to be lazy. Working too much hinders creativity, ya'know!
2) I want more gundam models. I haven't put one together in quite a while. Any kind of model will do really.
3) I need some clothes, mainly pants. I can't hardly go 4 days without washing clothes again.
4) I want to see Zeta gundam OH SO VERY BADLY!
5) I was thinking yesterday that having some anime/game pins would be cool.
6) Similar to Donna, I also have a somewhat cheesy wish. I'd like to have a significant other to spend my time with.
7) There's so many cool games that I've never gotten a chance to play yet that I've been wanting to play. I still haven't played Kingdom Hearts, Ico, or Prince of Persia yet. So basically the bargain bin unique artsy type games.
8) I wish I knew how to make Char's helmet for a Char cosplay outfit but I really don't have any ideas. I don't want to get everything else and not have a helmet or mask, it's just not Char!
9) I also like getting snail mail/cards. Address via email upon request. It's the same as it was last year if you already have it.
10) I like playing games with friends, it's fun. I wish I could get to do that more.
Well, that's all folks! Ta Ta for now.
