christmas wish list meme 2007
Nov. 14th, 2007 08:22 amSTEP 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 fun ("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 possible things, 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 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. Once a wish has been granted, it will be crossed off my list.
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. I want my Grandpa back >.<
2. Another paid year on LJ would be nice!
3. Anything and everything from my Amazon wish list.
4. A brown sectional couch for my living room (since Julio is in no hurry to buy and apparently has terrible taste anyway).
5. A Paramore Fanclub membership.
6. Paramore to play a concent somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. This comes with the stipulation that it occurs on a day I can finagle my way out of work. Monday or Tuesday would be best.
7. A certain Air Force boy to realize how perfect for one another we would be and announce his interest in me.
8. Bare Minerals makeup starter kit in Light
9. More than 1 day off for Christmas. Ideally, I would like at least a week off. But we all know that this will NOT happen.
10. The posters at![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
paramoremusic to stop multiple-posting, stop posting about their cats and their best friends, and type using correct grammar and punctuation. Oh, and no more Z's. Ever.
If you want my home address email me or comment asking for it. Also if you have a list like this, comment and link me to it and maybe I'd be able to grant you one of the wishes. :)
