The Wish List Meme
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. [Note: Your home address is not required!]
- 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 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 guarantees with this project, 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.
Repost this in your journal so that others can see what you would like to have. Maybe someone will be able to make a holiday wish come true for you! :)
1. Lessons in social grace - Because it's embarrassing being me.
2. Lessons in embroidery - Because currently I don't dare try anything more than samplers, and the back looks awful.
3. Fabrics and trims - Particularly fabrics and trims that can be used for 18th, 19th, and early 20th century clothing.
4. Make up from Ageless Artifice - so I can look the part.
5. Stationary and somebody to write to - I like cute stationary and stationary that looks antique-y.
6. (speaking of... ) Things that look antique in nature - Photo frames, actual antique photos, tea cups, saucers, glasses, any kind of furniture or decoration.
7. Cold weather boots and/or rainy weather boots - Not of the hiking variety.
8. Books - Anything on my wishlist, historical fiction, biographies of historical figures, mysteries, and fantasies - OR Costume DVDs - anything that took place from the early 20th Century and back, preferably with amazing and outlandish costumes that I can drool over.
9. Yankees and/or Arashi fanfiction written just for me - persons interested can PM me for details.
10. For everyone out there to treat themselves to something special - you all deserve it.
Should anybody be feeling particularly and unreasonably generous, please PM me for an address.
