Clearly I am procrastinating going out to the gym and to buy wrapping paper. LOL This is how I do, especially for my last day off in a long while. (This year, stolen from
hils specifically. XD)
Step One
♥ Make an LJ post. It can be public or friends only, whatever you’re most comfortable with. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes, and these wishes can be anything - from simple (a fan fiction written about your favorite pairing), to medium (a DVD you want), to really extravagant (a brand new laptop or car). Just make sure these are wishes for things you really truly want.
Step Two
♥ Skim through your friends list and see who has posted their own wish lists. Then - and this is the most important part - if you find a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make sure that person’s wish comes true. Sometimes a person’s trash is another person’s treasure. If you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you’re never going to use, give it to someone who wants it.
Step Three
♥ Post this wish list any time after November 1st. Then repost it two weeks before Christmas.
♥ 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 fairy - 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 fic index. I've always WANTED to have one, I have just always been too lazy to make one. I feel like being able to look at what I've written both on this journal and on the fic journal at a glance would be cool, mostly because a lot of the time I forgot things I wrote and that's probably not good.
2. Art for
"I'm Just A Love Machine' because it was supposed to be my DCBB originally and I had all these like, quiet hopes for what the art would look like. That didn't pan out (and I don't regret "Law of Conservation of Energy" at all, esp since
artmetica made it absolutely come to life!), it's just I think that"I'm Just a Love Machine" was my favorite thing I wrote all year. And I did not write a lot this year, so.
3. A new laptop bag for the new laptop my bro bought me for Xmas! (He bought it black Friday and sent it early LOL) It's a 17'inch HP aluminum case and probably the nicest laptop I've actually ever had so I want to be able to protect it (and look good, NGL).
4. The Tegomass no Mahou RE 1st press CD. I didn't have the funds to buy it with the LE like I normally do and my collector heart is crying on the inside to have a hole in my collection after I worked for like 3 years to get the complete NEWS/TEGOMASS discography.
5. Dean/Cas fic/art with accidental marriage and even more accidental domesticity. My kinks, let me show you them. I LIKE CUDDLES THE MOST OKAY.
6. The NEWS/KAT-TUN SUMMARY DVD. Only NEWS DVD I am missing as well. ;_;
7. An artist for my comic/s. Because I've always wanted to do a webcomic after seeing what Teahouse can do! XD
8. Playstation 3 games, new or used. My brother is insisting I don't spend money on him this year since I JUST got my job and have like, zero money (I promised I wold), but if anyone has used games that they don't want to play anymore I'd still love to give him SOMETHING since he's so good to me. ;_;
9. Vols 2-4 of the Love Pistols manga and/or vol 6 of Petshop of Horrors Tokyo. I know they're out of print, but I have 1 and 5 of Love Pistols and 1-5 and 7 of PoHT, and as you can probably tell, holes in my collection makes me all weird.
10. Giftcards to New York and Co., because I have 3 work appropriate pairs of pants right now and I think my coworkers are beginning to realize that. I like the pants from New York and Co. best because they look nice and are not obnoxiously expensive.
11. Personal Training sessions at LA Fitness. Because I have fallen SO FAR off the bandwagon it's not even funny. I'm trying to muster up the drive to just go to the gym and run a little today. I haven't run since Wed. ;_;
12. An MP3 player with a capacity larger than 1GB. Because I have to keep erasing songs to put new ones on there and it is sad.
13. A paper shredder. Because I have many old drafts of scripts that need to be destroyed before I can trash them.
14. A favorite easy recipe any of you have for anything. I need to start cooking again.
15. Anything from from my
Amazon wishlist.
16. For everyone to be safe this holiday season! I've got friends and family who will be traveling at the height of it through all sorts of weather, so be careful and stay warm! And when you do get to where you're going, eat something delicious for me. Because that is important too. XD
Okay now I should probably get out of my pjs and into my running clothes. o.o
