christmas wishing...

[iluvroadrunner6]

( ~Step One~ )
- Make a post (public, friends locked, 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 friends list (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. I would really love some paid lj time. i don't mind having the sponsored format or whatever (ads have ceased to bother me) but the lack of icon space is killing me here.

2. a flack layout would be nice. and since i am html-challenged, if you could write up the CSS sheet so all i'd have to do would be to cut and paste, that would be fabulous.

3. Music. right now, either of the Regina Spektor CDs or the new Scissor Sisters album would be awesome. I don't care if you just upload it and i could download it to my iTunes, but i would love you forever. seriously.

4. aside from the layout, any icons/graphics/fics for my fandoms (CSI:NY/Miami, Numb3rs, LOST, House MD, The Producers.)

5. Photoshop, any version.

Hoping I can make you wish...

Hey.. I have photoshop... at least I can get it. the Newest version I think. If you want i can mail it to you, on a CD. I'm just wondering where your located? US? or else where? Don't really matter, my mom works for DHL, I can get it shipped anywhere. Post marked as gift of course. Email me, spacemonkey22@gmail.com or respond with a comment. I expect you'd want to send a mailing address via email rather than comment. I was hoping it was possible to compress and send via email but it isn't, so just let me know and I'll mail it to you.

omg you rock.

i'll definitely e-mail you. thank you so much!

np

[venetia-sassy.livejournal.com]

I can swing six months paid account time, starting Thursday or Friday.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

hee...oh, thank you so much.

what do you need from me?

[venetia-sassy.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

I don't think you need to do anything. The way the Paid Account Gift is set up, I think you'll just be notified when I've made the payment. I need to go to the bank today or tomorrow, then I can do it.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

awesome! again, thank you.

[and-dark-skies.livejournal.com]

For four, any specific requests? Cause I can totally make you stuff.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

a more fandom-y banner for my user info, i guess...

...i'm so bad with specifics. just as long as it doesn't involve aiden or boa vista i'm happy. maybe something colby-related (i'm really starting to adore him now).

i dunno.

[and-dark-skies.livejournal.com]

Mmm...Colby. You've just said the magic words for me. He's my tv husband, one of many.

I've never made Aiden anything and will never start so you're safe there. :)

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

i was kind of oblivious to him for season 2 (i missed a lot of it) but i picked up the show again for season three and it's like omg! love!

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

2 - I don't know CSS, but I have a friend that does. If she'll do the coding, I'll make the graphics. And even if she can't, I'll make an LJ set for you. Any specific pics/scenes you want, let me know.

3 - I have both the Regina Spektor CDs on my harddrive (Soviet Kitsch and her newest one). I can also upload another really great CD, Sia's "Colour The Small One."

4 - You can count on me for graphics. I still owe you art and that Flack/Calleigh icon, anyway. And I just found a site with Numb3rs screencaps, so I plan on making a bunch anyway.

5 - If it doesn't pan out with the other person who offered, I'm uploading PSCS2 today, actually, for another friend of mine and then I'm going to link it in my journal. If your other friend has a newer version, at least you can use that one for now.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

i would love the Regina Spektor CDs. and i've never heard of Sia, but i'll give it a shot if it's not to much trouble.

nothing specific really for the flack stuff. as long as it has flack in it, i think i'll be happy.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

Then they're yours. And since I'm burning the CD I'm taking with me now, you're also going to be able to DL (aside from the Regina Spektor CDs) Keane's "Under The Iron Sea" and Bloc Party's "Silent Alarm Remixed (2005)".

Also, I'll make the Flack layout tonight. Do you need an FO Banner, and do you want it personalized with your username?

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

ooo...keane!

no FO banner necessary and....yeah, personalization would be pretty cool.

when i go home for thanksgiving, i'll head over to the theater and see about the passes. in case i don't wind up with passes, and i wind up getting gift certificates or something like it, movies 10 bucks a pop for adults by you?

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, it's a little under $10. It's around the same price as The Krikorian, and their adult ticket is $9.75 for the later showings.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

yeah it's the same over here. its really ridiculous.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

I vaguely remember a time when it was around $6 all the time, and kids were on $3 or $4.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

and the thing is, the theaters don't even make any money off those prices. all of that goes to buying the rights and maintaining the film. the only really profit they make is from concessions, which is why the prices are so high there too.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

I think that's the part that sucks the most.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

it really does.

the irony is though, is now that i get cheap movies...i have no time to go see them. guess you can't have both.
