(no subject)
This meme thing is rather sweet and thoughtful than most. Yes, I know I have overdone the meme quota, but I AM TRYING TO FILL YOUR OWN WISHLISTS, BITCHEZ, INDULGE ME.
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.
Wishlist!
1. An acceptance letter from Cheltenham, PLEASE. PLEASE PLEASEPLEASE.
2. This bag in red is absolutely the cutest, prettiest thing that prettied ever since Orlando Bloom as Legolas. Oh god, the prettiness kills.
3. Oh, oh, pictures of you when you were kids. Yes, I am secretly a 75-year-old Swedish pedophile in disguise. Truthfully, my real Singapore Idol is Michael Jackson.
4. Tell me a funny story about yourself. I will love you a million times more if you tell me embarrassing shit about your life - I swear.
5. Send me a letter or a card in the mail! Email me at mongibellobay(at)gmail for my address; I know I have given it out to numerous people already, but I am a big mailwhore and I went more, dammit. I invariably forget I actually asked for mail a week later, so I get a big "OMG SURPRISE DELIGHT" when I receive it.
6. For Dick Cheney to out himself as Darth Vader, Destroyer of Life and the Universe, Evil Incarnate But Not Sexy In That Devilish way, Worm-Devourer of Existence. I mean, just look at him.
7. Make phone posts! I love them. I especially love when people go "ummm... what do I say now? *giggle*" because I am filled with extreme adoration at everybody's dorkiness and social ineptness. It makes me feel a little less alone in this world. *sniff*
8. Oh god, this lime green handbag hanger. It's polk-dotted. And it hangs handbags. Yes, I know I am such a girl.
9. Indulge me in a little illegal mp3 sharing: send me a song you have listened to repeat, over and over again.
10. Happiness to everyone in the New Year!!! :D
God, I am such a moron. Anyway, regarding the last meme: twostoreys has WON IT! Hooray! She guessed six songs, but not before spending two minutes whining to me over the phone about how she just knew the Tegan & Sara song, dammit. She gets a kiss. <3 If you want more, darling, you have to convince me.
