why am I still up
Singing recital: Saturday December 6th, 6PM, Adam Concert Room, NZ School of Music Kelburn campus. Please come? I'm doing Reflection from Mulan and There Are Worse Things I Could Do from Grease. Is it just me, or apart from the sheer tackiness of Disney + Grease, do they actually kind of work together? Even if my subtext for Reflection is totally HOMOPHOBIA. I'm completely serious.
STEP ONE
- Make a post (public, friends-locked, 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 so that the holiday joy will spread.
STEP TWO
- Surf around your friends list (or friends friends, 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.
Online:
♥ Donate (currency converter for you foreigners!) to (take your pick if you feel so inclined):
Ronald McDonald House (Macca's providing a home away from home for families of sick kids in hospital for treatment away from home)
Child Cancer Foundation
Youthline (youth helpline)
Women's Refuge (support for victims of domestic violence)
New Zealand AIDS Foundation
Play It Strange (support for young songwriters and musicians: okay, this one is actually a mail a cheque one, not credit card/Paypal like the others)
All these links are to the donation pages of the New Zealand branches of these organizations, but if there's one where you are that you'd rather donate to, go for it. Oh, you know who else need help that I couldn't find a link for? Girl Guides/Scouts.
♥ Fanfiction (fandoms in profile, w00t - OR crackfic like the crap cattrius and I spout)
♥ Fanmixes or mix 'CDs' in general or hell just mp3s you think I'd like
♥ Fanstuff for the Digimon MANGA (screw fecking Adventure, man, where's the manga love?)
♥ Paid LJ time or a permaccount
Offline:
♥ Return plane ticket to Vancouver or money towards such
♥ EGG CARTONS
♥ Plants (basically Not Flowers as they die on me; I cope well with trees and herbs and I like cacti)
♥ Stockings
♥ Trading card game cards (preferably Pokemon but hey anything for the lulz especially IN SPANISH)
>_>; I know half of this list is recycled from last year's, thanks.
