Stolen from a few people

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 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 (or fairy) -- 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.



No particular order here.

1. A clean house and workspace.
2. To be completely free and clear of debt.
3. To get at least one of my "artistic" projects finished.
4. To have a paid LJ account again so I can change settings without losing a bunch of stuff.
5. Spending more time with plaidbrat
6. Spending more time, hell, even seeing some friends in general.
7. More books to read.
8. More DVDs to watch.
9. Hematite. Hematite in cool interesting wearable forms.
10. Another piercing. Or tattoo. (shoot me, I'm superficial and shallow right now.)

what kind of books do you like?

[winneganfake.livejournal.com]

Fantasy, sci-fi, horror, manga, comics in general. Tastes in particular are running more towards dark fantasy and horror these days, just because my need for escapism seems to be running pretty high.

Oohh I have some really nice short stories... I must get you a copy.

Where does one find hematite around here? I haven't seen any for years.

[blakthorne.livejournal.com]

I mostly see it down in little shops - say, at Pike Place Market or any of the little boutiques on Broadway.

"9. Hematite. Hematite in cool interesting wearable forms." I found a fancy hematite necklace and earrings when I cleaned old Catalyst House. They didn't seem to belong to anyone (assumption: they were purchased as a gift for a girlfriend by one of the old male roomies and then never given). Not sure where it went, but you're welcome to it once I find it!

(Even if you don't choose to wear it in it's current configuration, you could unstring it into something else)

Cool! Thanks!

If you can do palm-format ebooks, i can give you several CDs worth, including the book-reader software for windows if you don't have a palm-format pda. The average book size ranges between 20k and 100k (You can get handspring visor platinums on ebay for about 30 bucks, plus another 14 for the docking/charging cradle. Damn good piece of hardware. 16 megs of memory holds a lot of books.)
