LJ wishlist meme
Step One
- Make a post (public, locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your journal. 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 journal so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
- Surf around your reading list/friendslist (or network, or friends' friends, or just random journals, or [community profile] holiday_wishes/[profile] wish_list) 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.
Someone with a car to help me get a Christmas tree to and into my home.
A ride to church on Sunday the 12th anytime before 5 PM (or Wednesday the 8th in the evening) so I can carry the presents for the Homeless Children's Network.
A visitor for my kitties while I am away over New Year's, maybe. (Still don't know if there will be someone in residence.)
LJ icons with "BRAT" in them, or "consentida".
Quiet time with my friends (possibly including food, hair brushing, ice cream, and/or cats). I am keeping a low-profile Xmas this year, and would rather not receive presents.
Personal recommendations on a local storage facility. I have never had a storage unit before, and I don't know how much space I need or what a reasonable price is; tips on best practices are welcome.
Temporary tattoos.
A full length mirror.
