List thingy
Hey...
Why not...
It's taken me awhile to do this because I usually figure there really isn't a point to it. But, I'm bored at work trying to stay awake, so I figured what the hell.....
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. (I posted 11 cause my birthday is the 11th!) 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. [Note: Your home address is not required!]
- 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 gift for free... hey, 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 guarantees with this project, 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 third world country I can rule with an iron fist.
2.- A second world country I can rule with an iron fist.
3 - A first world country I can rule with an iron fist.
4 - A metal gauntlet I can wear to truly rule with an iron fist.
5 - A well trapped lair with lots of machinery.
6 - A few dozen henchmen with no qualms about lousy paychecks.
7 - A long hair white cat after 1-6 have been met.
8 - A world wide satelite fed camera always pointed at my crotch while petting said cat with iron fist
9 - Money
10 - More Money
