"I would like (what?!) if I may (you may not!) to take you (where?!) on a strange journey."

[winterophelia]

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 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 (or fairy) -- 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.

I would like...
1. Music-ness (Rolling Stones, etc., esp. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen...I miss my Queen tape sooo much)
2. Gift card to anywhere
3. Some love
4. A Death Cab or Postal Service shirt
5. A nice Remus-y icon, preferably not from the movies...picky, I know
6. A nice LJ layout...
7. Someone to fill out my college applications for me
8. Harry Potter things
9. Some of my friends to figure themselves out and grow up
10. Ben Gibbard to be my boyfriend

That was fun. Not much to update. Ate bruch with my mom, Ann's mom, and Ann. Bought some clothes. Got batteries for my communicator (I looked like such a dork walking around Target trying to figure out what size batteries it takes). Got coffee. Read all of A Tale of Two Cities that I needed to. End.

Blahrg.

I'm listening to the Kelly Huckaby song right now.
I really like it. But the file is horrible quality.

[winterophelia.livejournal.com]

Aww, sad!
If I knew I was going to see you ever again (I probably will, this is quite an exaggeration) I'd make you a CD of all sorts of goodness!

[boredfairy.livejournal.com]

I could make you one too! Acutally... ::idea!::
Do you know Francois van Vliet?

[winterophelia.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do.

[boredfairy.livejournal.com]

Francois'(s?) little sister Vivienne is in the 9th grade and she is really good friends with my sister. lol... So that's kind of a connection.

[winterophelia.livejournal.com]

Okay... Letsee...I think I can work something out...maybe.

What kinda stuff would you want on such a CD?

[boredfairy.livejournal.com]

Ooh whatever you think I would like. What would you like on such a cd?

And also, Paige and know Natalie Hood, who I think is a senior...?

[winterophelia.livejournal.com]

Natalie is in my AP Psych class!

*raises hand* ^_^ I can help you out with the LJ layout! They're funn :D

I can't really do much for graphics, though... ;_; my computer stinks. But overrides and that kind of stuff I can definitely do. ^_^

[winterophelia.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I just need someone to explain how to do that sort of stuff to me, so I can worry about the graphics.

[-occlumency.livejournal.com]

[Sorry for the somewhat delayed response, slow computer = takes forever to do anything]

howto has tons of tutorials on how to do certain overrides in its memories, if you hadn't already stumbled across that. ^_^

But, now that the weekend is here, I can do it. ^_^ Maybe you can find some journal to use as an example of what you'd like, but include what you would like changed in it [colors, text decoration, alignment, entry borders, background, blahblahblah] and stuff... yeah. ^-^;;
