Wishes...
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.
Also! Like Johanna stated, if you have a wishlist and would like me to look at it, please leave a link in the comments letting me know! Thanks!
EDIT: NUMBER ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF!!! THANKS MISSY!!! LOVE YOU!!! :)
1. A case of Lactated Ringers Fluids from Animal Care Clinic ( $60, a dozen to a box averages 5 bucks a bag instead of the normal 15 I pay indiv. and they're the only place I know that sells it by the case. Located in El Sobrante. ) for Keroppi. I haven't been able to administer fluids in almost 3 weeks becuase I haven't had the money to buy any. Or just the money for or towards the case of fluids.
2. Anything off of my Amazon.com wishlist: Wishlist here!
3. Gift Certificate: Old Navy, Ikea, Jamba Juice, Best Buy, Juniper Tree (berkeley, san pablo ave, right next to good vibes), DollyBird ( name? It's the store right next to Juniper tree. They have a pink sign with a chick on it with a big 50's hairdo ) Sanrio, Sephora, Baubles & Beads ( Berkeley, shattuck ave near university ) or Lane Bryant.
4. Enough money for Loren and I to go to Las Vegas or on a trip for New Year's Eve.
5. $50 to finish my tattoo.
6. For help cleaning out my garage and compiling all my extra stuff to have a garage sale. The person helping with get a portion of the garage sale profits.
7. For everyone who posted a wish list to get at LEAST one material want granted.
8. A stable, well-paying job where my boss isn't psycho and I have health insurance. Also, that I make enough money to buy a new car, live without worry financially, and actually enjoy getting up in the morning. Also, that Johanna and any other out of work friends find the same.
9. I really really want to spend Christmas with Loren be it here or with his family.
10. A really pretty piece of jewelry, preferrably in ring form, from Loren for Christmas.
