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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
