I've been a bad LJ user!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was fabulous! I've been updating myspace some so if you want to know what's going on with me check out my page since I never remember to update here. I do read everyone's entries! The address for myspace is www.myspace.com/italiantexan
If you want a christmas card from me and you haven't responded on myspace leave a comment...they are screened.
If you need my address then leave me a comment saying so or email me at terra4545@aol.com
Here's something fun for the holidays!
(Stolen from Lesley)
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, 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 list!
A new job preferably the one I'm interviewing for this Thursday (prayers that I get this job would be greatly appreciated..in fact that's my one big request this season...prayers I get this job...it's one of my two dream jobs!)
student loans paid off
my family decide on one weekend in december that we can all get together for christmas since schedules are so screwed up.
South Park on DVD any season (really want 1 and 4)
money to spend in Vegas in January (this is where the new job also comes in)
to lose about 40 more pounds
prescription sunglasses
to find a medicine that will actually help/prevent my migraines
my mom to truly be happy
a trip with my sister this next summer to see my aunt in California
to meet a nice, normal guy about 6'2 with dark hair that I really get along with and that respects me for me that is cool with being friends and seeing where it leads
to learn arabic
become more fluent in Italian
Now for the book and dvd portion of this project...
Bookends by Jane Green
The Other Woman By Jane Green
Spellbound by Jane Green
A tale of two sisters by Anna Maxted
Cosmopolitan by Anna Maxted
Size 14 is not fat either by Meg Cabot
Every boy's got one by meg cabot
DVD's
The Break Up
Talladega Nights
Little Miss Sunshine
Devile Wears Prada
Dane Cook's Vicious Circle
That's all I can think of now. More may come to me later but I don't really need anymore materialistic items!
Happy Holidays everyone!
