Tis the season for a wish list...
It is December. Snow is forecast. Which means that now it's time for the LJ Christmas Gift Meme! (Snagged from just about everywhere.)
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 Holiday Wishes:
1. Christmas cards. Cards are ALWAYS fun! :)
2. Create an LJ icon for me. I'd especially love icons of Alice Ripley, Emily Skinner, Julianne Moore, next to normal, and...oh heck, I'll fess up...Sex and the City.
3. Mix CDs (or downloads) of some of your favorite music - or stuff you think I'd like. Im pretty flexible...though not really a fan of heavy metal, 80s hair bands, or rap.
4. Send me a photograph of something that makes you happy. (I like Cal's idea here. Email is cool.)
5. Donate to HRC or MENY (or your local state marriage equality chapter) to assist with the fight for equality for ALL.
6. Donate to BCEFA.
7. Barnes and Noble gift cards! (Since I'm getting a nook, I'm needing to populate it with new and my favorite books in electronic form!)
8. Gift cards for the Angelika Film Center or an AMC Entertainment card.
9. Cast Recordings - download is fine. If you know I love the show, I probably have it. Surprise me...introduce me to something new!
10. Random theatre memorabilia you have extra of or don't want anymore.
If you need to get in touch with me, leave a comment for my email. :)
Pass it along!
