...and the holidays are coming up...
A pretty cool holiday wishlist game, taken from dupton.
Make sure you give me, and him, and everybody else some present for these holidays! :)
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.
My wishlist:
1. Anything off my Amazon wishlist. I don't expect you to buy anything. But you can visit it and see what I have on my wishlist, out of interest ;)
2. A domain.
3. An icon of Gallant shaking his booty in the E.R. episode "Makemba", because I just love that scene :P
4. A new LJ layout... coded, if possible.
5. A LJ icon of any of the following:
Courteney Cox (or Monica from Friends, Gale in Scream, or Freddie in Till We Meet Again)
Melissa George (or Rita from Thieves, or Lauren from Alias)
Goran Visnjic (or Luka in E.R., or Alek in The Deep End)
Elektra Natchios, character from Daredevil and the upcoming Elektra
Oliver Hudson
Courvid, which means Courteney Cox and David Arquette
Jake and Diane, from Jake 2.0
6. A new wallpaper (800x600) featuring any of the interests in my profile.
7. A DVD player. What? In the rules it said that I could post any big wish too.
8. A banner for me to use at message boards (will be properly credited) featuring any of these:
Melissa George or her Alias character Lauren Reed
Goran Visnjic or his E.R. character Luka Kovac
Courteney Cox Arquette or her Friends Monica Geller
Jack & Bobby
Oliver Hudson or his Dawson's Creek character Eddie Doling
Erik von Detten
Christopher Gorham or his characters Jake Foley (Jake 2.0), Neil Taggart (Oddysey 5) or Harrison (Popular)
any member of the CSI cast, or a combination of some of them, especially Catherine and Warrick together
Doug and Carol from E.R.
9. Surprise me :) Anything will do. Whatever you get me is fine, even a few lines via email, just as long as you remember me during these holidays.
10. "And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!"
