2014 Wish List
Seeing as my birthday is in less than a week, guess it's time to post up my wish list for this year. :)
1. Anything from my Amazon or ThinkGeek wish lists.
2. Anything from my friend's shop, Novus Antiquae - I love her jewelry but I don't have the money to spare to buy it ALL which is what I totes would do. But seriously - buy her stuff, it's gorgeous!
3. A digital SLR camera that can do photos and video. I miss having a good SLR and I also miss making videos. I'd like to stick to Nikon, I already have a Nikon film SLR, but since I only have the one lens I'm still open to moving brands. :)
4. Xbox Live Gold time, or gift cards to iTunes, Amazon, Xbox, Nintendo, Starbucks, etc.
5. Help making some of my dream costumes that I don't have the skills to make just yet!
6. Artwork of my favorite Doctor and favorite companion from Doctor Who (Fourth Doctor, Jamie MacCrimmon). :)
7. Amigurumi toys! I suck at crochet but there's so many cute amigurumi out there :)
8. There's certain patches I'm looking to add to my jacket that I'm having trouble finding - specifically I want to add Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, and Chicago Blackhawks to the jacket since I have a nice Cubs patch. But I'm having trouble finding any, the only one I've found was a Blackhawks one for $15. :( I also am missing an Apollo 13 mission patch and a Space Shuttle Program patch (I have one on an old pair of coveralls from high school but I can't find it).
9. I love getting handmade gifts in general! Yeah I've got lots of stuff on my wishlist, but handmade gifts are special. :) (I'm particularly addicted to homemade soaps...I'm so sad I'm nearly out of my Jelly Baby scented soap from False Nostalgia on Etsy)
10. I would like the universe to stop beating on my friends! Be nice to us universe!
If you're getting me something that's not directly on the Amazon or ThinkGeek wish lists (which will supply my address), email me at maryjo @ ghostbusterschicago . com (without the spaces of course) for my address :)
(For those wondering - here's the guidelines I'm following:
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 Sam/Dean 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.
- Don't forget to post your list to Wish List as well as your journal. It's an open comm so you don't have to join to post. The more your list is seen, the greater the chance that someone out there can fullfill your wishes.
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.)
