Wishlist!
Because it's going around... and I feel like using the puppy eyes of DOOM!
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 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 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.
1. A place to live not too far from campus.
2. A PS2 and Guitar Hero. Mostly for Kathy, but... I want it.
3. Fics or graphics, especially Heroes.
4. Books. Sci-fi, fantasy, graphic novels, comics... I'm easy. *Laughs* Gift certificates for bookstores also work. As long as it's a chain that runs in Mobile, AL. So... Borders or Books-a-Million.
5. Art supplies. (No, not heroin.)
6. Smoothies. Gift certificates work here, too.
7. Music (CD or downloads, anything. Yeah, I stole this from Veet. Kill me.)
8. Stuff to put in #1, i.e. furniture, appliances, etc. Posters, even. Decoration. I don't care. New place, whooo!
9. Shirts from Jinx
10. The willpower to stop skipping classes. (Because I'm not totally skipping as we speak. I'm not.)
If you want to actually send me something, drop me a line, and I'll give you whatever you need, be it email adress or mailing. Or whatever. Just let me know.
