Spoinked from [livejournal.com profile] sgalvin

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.





1. LJ paid time. Because Jenneh is totally cheap. And mostly broke. Heh.

2. Hot men. Onna poster. My wall needs a revamp.

3. CDs! La. Music is the food of the soul.

4. Nail polish. Odd coloured ones. 'Cause I feel like being colourful.

5. Fullmetal Alchemist (anime). I have been trying to hunt down the episodes since... hmm. I don't know. A while ago.

6. Overseas currency! I like getting random coins, and things.

7. Everyone should hug a tree. It's a fun activity, especially if you do it in big groups.

8. Webcomic reccs. Bunny made me thirst for more. I think this place mostly quenches that thirst.

9. World peace. See, if you happen to know someone who knows someone who knows the Ruler of The Universe, this is a good thing to put on a wishlist.

10. I've run out of ideas. RANDOM TACKLEHUG. Oh, I know. E-mails! I hardly get maily e-mails.

:D

If you need my address for whatever reason, send me an email! mundane.puppet@gmail.com

Someone else likes foreign money! Yay! I have a ton of it. (Possibly literally - coins are very heavy.)

Webcomics. My FAVORITE is Sluggy Freelance. A while ago I posted part of my long list of comics. You seem to have similar tastes to another friend of mine (she's a huge Gambit X-men fan, loves Bunny, can't remember all the similarities I've noticed), so I'll recommend Strange Candy as well.

A fellow collector of foriegn currency? Huzzah!

I saw that recc list of yours a while ago. It has been added to my memories :)

I collect foreign currency tooooo. Sort of. Not terribly actively, but if I run across it, I keep it. :P

You have American stuff already?

Also, my school is the sort of place where people really do hug trees, and then put the pictures up online. We're kooky.

Hmm... what kind of music do you like? I'm happy to burn cds or make compilations etc.

I would be happy with any sort of music, really. 'M always willing to try new things.
