(no subject)
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 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.
- 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 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 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.
01. A new LJ layout incorporating these pictures, preferrably in B&W. (And especially the second one. I know they're not large photos, but anything would be nice.)
02. Secret Diary Of A Call Girl: Season 2 on DVD.
03. Gloves like this, in pink or soft gray.
04. A really good peppermint brownie recipe. I just can't get it right, and those of you who know me know I love to bake brownies.
05. A new laptop. This is a crazy request, but hey, I'd even be willing to take someone's hand-me-down. Mine is just that bad.
06. Fic! I love fic written for me. My current obsessions/fandoms are Glee (Finn/Rachel, Will/Finn, Will/Rachel/Finn, Artie/Tina, Will/Emma), The Office (Jim/Pam, Andy/Erin), Chuck (Chuck/Sarah, platonic Casey/Sarah), Community (Jeff/Annie, Jeff/Britta, Jeff/Annie/Britta), and How I Met Your Mother (Ted/Robin). I also still hold a deep love for Pushing Daisies (Ned/Chuck), License To Wed (Ben/Sadie), Scrubs (JD/Elliot) and The X-Files (Mulder/Scully). I am also not opposed to RPF involving any of these fandoms.
07. Any music from Kings Of Leon other than Only By The Night. My sisters are getting me into them and I'd love to have some other stuff. MP3s are perfectly fine!
08. A mash-up of "In Your Eyes" and "Ssudio". I am so super serious about this. It doesn't even have to be good. Just...done.
09. The Breakfast Club (High School Reunion Collection). One of my all-time favorite movies and I just don't own it yet. I suck.
10. Him. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
