Ripped from brigidsblest:
Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10holiday 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.
1) Goblets from the skulls of my enemies and/or necklaces made from their bones. Kali is my fashion hero.
2). Getting to Amherst and a place to stay that isn't very pricey.
3). A magical gimpchair that runs by the power of that newfangled electricity stuff the kids are going on about these days. Even better, of course, is the bad-ass steampunk one from Wild Wild West. Seriously though, afore I get up to Amherst I will have to get one. The one pulled by feet doesn't cut it at all; mostly because it is fucking impossible to go up ANY sort of incline with my feet. I'd like to be independent finally.
4). Anything from my wishlist (Should anyone do this, pls send to the West Virginia address, of course)
5). Some sort of job in Amherst that I can do. I don't have insurance yet for another year, so I need to pay the doc bills somehow. Thnak the gods that I'm able to do what I am able to now to get my meds and all, but I have to survive for another year before I get sick, lol.
6). Admission to UMass so I can finally get my journalism associate's degree and continue with that.
7). God willing, once I get to Amherst (however I do *that*) and get room and board (however I do *that*) - a kitty, of course!
8). When I move, I would like also - dare I say it... DARE I?? Real life friends! You know, in the 3-d world, not the Internets. Not that I don't love you all, but I'm lonely, baby.
9). A personal sex slave. Redhead, of course.
10). Yeah, I have run out of ideas. Um... did I mention stuff from the bones of my enemies? Slay them, skin them and craft things from them! As Jesus said, "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." Word - he didn't go far enough though (maybe he was just not nearly as fashion conscious as I am).
