Hey look, it's a bandwagon, and I'm on it ^_^
Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your journal. 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, 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. that buckle ring Shige wears (or at least used to wear, haven't seen it in a while) all the time, I really want one, but I can't find it anywhere... here is the best image I can find of it at the moment... even just a link to where I can get it online would be perfect
2. a NishiKato layout to fit my 1280 x 800 monitor (wasted space is wasted DX )
3. volume 2 of Switch (manga)
4. books by Kelly Armstrong (I really want to read more cuz Bitten was awesome)
5. Bleach anime
6. a new battery for my laptop so it can be a laptop again instead of a portable desktop
7. rear speakers for my car
8. Shige, Ryo, Okura, Yoko, or Jin shop photos (gah, these would make my life)
9. NEWS or Kanjani8 posters
10. weekend pass for ACEN '09 XDDDDDDDD
out of all those, numbers 1 and 10 are what I want most... if anyone can actually do these, I will love you forever... if you need my address for things, hit me up with a message here on lj or e~mail me okura.tadayoshi[at]gmail[dot]com
