(no subject)
I pinched this from bioconnectivity!
---
- 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 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.
Step Three
Post your wishlist to your livejournal/blog! you never know, someone may be able to grant you a holiday wish!
My wishlist:
1. I don't think it's a secret that I'm a creepy motherfucker, but I've been wanting a pair of red leopard creepers for years now, but this only adds up the "O GOD DO WANT"-factor.
2. anything with the pogues and/or shane! books, tickets from shows, posters, prints, cd leaflets or cd's. also if you write or find awkward shane/spider stacy slash you are a true master of the internets and I will cry big tears of joy.
3. anything hugh laurie and/or house! house/wilson slashy things also counts here.
4. art of my ichabod or ivan (god that sounded very egocentric)
5. handwritten letters or christmas cards.
6. SKITTLES BECAUSE HOLY FUCK, I LOVE SKITTLES AND SWEDEN DOESN'T HAVE THEM.
7. irish stuff. I'm very fond of celtic crosses, guinness merchandise and the liquior labels mirrors they have in pubs.
8. old medical equipment/supplies, military memoribilia from WWII and gasmasks.
9. friends from abroad coming and visiting me.
10. ... cigars.
if you want my address, I'll give it if you comment.
