Bandwagon, jump.
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.
1) A paid LJ account. And for someone to either make me a layout, or teach me how to make them, because I'm computer illleterate. :(
2) For it not to be the end of LOTR (You have no idea how much I want this. PJ should not be making King Kong, ROTK EE should not be the end, there should be another film.... but there's not.)
3) To go to one of the Ring Con type thingys!
4) For Grace and Megan and their mum and dad (My cousins and aunt and uncle) to move back to Scotland, so we can visit them, and see Grace growing up. *sniff*
5)Tickets for Razorlight, or Franz Ferdinand, or SOMETHING CORPORATE!!!! or No Doubt, or GGD, or another of my favourite bands. Who never seem to tour in Scotland, OR never tour when I'm available.
6)T In The Park Tickets!
7)A laptop, or money to buy one, so that when I go off out into the big wide world of Uni, I can still talk to you guys.... (And watch DVDs)
8)An inflatable guitar. I'm hoping they'll sell them tonight... *crosses fingers*
9)To not be ill anymore!
10)To meet all of you guys! (And to tour the world with Gabsy and MC, as planned)
There now, that was fun!
