Meme 1:
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 Lance 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.
- 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:
these are just things that I absolutely don't expect. just doing the meme.
1. an i-pod or some other digital music fun thing.
2. a John Mayer calendar (I hear they don't make them)
3. a Greatest Hits album... either official or made by you... of anyone. *N Sync, Whitney, Britney, Christina, Beatles, Janet Jackson, Jay-Z, Mariah, Madonna, Michael Jackson... pretty much anyone.
4. paid lj time.
5. a stuffed puffin.
6. a black mini messenger bag. like purse size.
7. photos of my lj friends. like picture pictures, ones I can hold, not look at on a screen.
8. anything from my amazon wish list (especially the digital camera)
9. fun board games.
10. star (the shape) things. icons, socks, purses, pictures, paintings, drawings, boxes. ya get the drift.
And as the meme reads, contact info for me. Email is popgonedirty@yahoo.com and snail mail can be found here
ps. I made this post unlocked just in case someone who isn't on my friends list wants to grant a wish. (I've already found some friend of friend of friend's who I plan on granting wishes for.) If you happen to be a kickass person and want to grant a wish and aren't on my friends list, just comment and I'll comment to your comment with my address and then delete it :)
Meme 2:
So many of us only know each other by our LJ names. It'd be nice if I could know you by your first name, so please comment with your first name, and then copy this into your LJ so you can get to know your FL's first names. :)
