schmericaI'm not sure whether I really like this meme, or if it's vaguely depressing. Either way, though, it's interesting.
Holiday wishlist meme, started by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tartanshell:
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.
My list:
1. An oppurtunity to visit the East Coast, and seefox1013 again, and meet lots of other cool people for the first time.
2. A new image for the index page of my website. Something pretty and simple, going with the theme of "but george you're a communist" or perhaps valentines or oysters or pearls.
3. Everything on my Amazon wishlist.
4. To get a decent amount of credits in my Russian history program.
5. A cute, funny, nice boy to make out with.
6. Unlikely due South Fraser/Kowalski AU's.
7. Cute new shoes.
8. A stuffed penguin.
9. A consistent Coca-Cola supply.
10. A good due South Fraser-or-RayK-turn-into-a-girl story. (Andthentheyhavesex.)

24/11/04 10:22 (UTC)It happens that I'm on the East Coast, in Pennsylvania in fact, not more than a few hours from Bryn Mawr iirc where it is. I'm not sure if there's much I can do to facilitate 1., but perhaps if you get to the planning a trip stage, I can offer some crash space or whatnot.
