lykomancer | The Same Damn Thing Everyone Else is Doing

Stolen from like, five other people who have all done it already, for no real reason:

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.

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. Play it forward.

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.

Jess's Wishlist-ish type thing, in the order in which I thought of them:

1. Volumes 4-? of Fruits Basket, volume 3-? of Hellsing, 2-?Maximum of Trigun. Really, any manga, bought or scanlated.

2. A papa-san

3. CDs, bought or burnt. (Especially want Billy Joel's Greatest Hits I & II and River of Dreams, Talking Heads' Little Creatures, Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell, Tom Petty's WildFlowers and Greatest Hits, and any Goo Goo Dolls albums, and more Japanese or French stuff...but I'm not overly picky.)

4. An adjustable, multi-setting'ed electric razor so I can keep the back of my head at 7/8ths of an inch.

5. A new comforter and set of jersey sheets (double-size).

6. Books on Japanese, French, Latin, or Biblical Greek.

7. Saint Augustine's books other than The Confessions

8. A nice, new, large powder-coated rat cage (Found at Martinscages.com: http://www.martinscages.com/images/full/r-690.jpg), and/or a jumbo tail-safe Wodent Wheel (http://www.martinscages.com/images/full/WW-12.jpg).

9. Any burned or bought anime except Scrapped Princess, FMP!, and Hellsing. (Especially want: FMA, Trigun, Saiyuki, the rest of Chrno Crusade (16-22, I believe), Fruits Basket, and Chobits. Will not object to: Inuyasha, Gungrave, Kenshin, Slayers, Fushigi Yuugi, Utena. And I'll take anything else I've said previously that I would like to own, or anything you think that I'd like to own. ^_^)

10. Soymilk-- vanilla flavored!-- or eggnog.

Bonus Round:
11. A new(er) leather shell jacket-- must have at least one inside breast pocket. Preferably black or dark brown.
12. Soft, comfortable bulky sweaters...also, kimonos and such.
13. A paid livejournal.com account.
14. More EnvyxEd smut, dammit.
15. Fight Club on DVD.
16. Burt's Bees stuff-- Cocoanut Foot Creme, Wild Lettuce Facial Toner, lip balm, Avacado Hair Treatment...YUM!
