Christmas 2008
Because people have been asking me all week what I want for Christmas.
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 & 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 & it might come true. Give & you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special...
1. Jewelry. I LOVE SHINY THINGS. Like these maneki neko earrings.
2. Renewals on my paid account for either the_great_elk or miso_mouse
3. A sewing machine for my dorm room.
4. Hatter M, because it looks cool.
5. The Silverware Family t-shirt
6. The Order of the Stick on a tote or Elan naked on a violet shirt
7. The third season of Bones or the second season of Psych on DVD
8. I am a beautiful and unique snowflake
9. A new tank for my betta
10. A bag of holding, or possibly a bag of super cuteness.
11. For the CMS program at MIT to continue, and for me to get accepted. ♥
I mean, you all know I'll take anything, right? Icons, downloads, music, fic, layouts, cute little e-things saying that you love me. I am greedy materialistic child. *evil grin*
