EDIT2: Gah! I'm really sorry. This is the last time, I swear. Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that Shiloh did well in his surgery today and that we're bringing him home tomorrow. ^.^ So evidently, one of my wishes came true, which means I'll switch it out for a different one.


EDIT: Sorry to spam your inboxes, but I wanted to throw in some of my fandoms for number 3. ^.^' Apologies!

I've seen this floating around, so I thought I'd join in on the fun. Course, I dunno if I can come up with ten things, but I'll try. ^.^'

~*~*~ THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.

STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. 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. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA for the sake of privacy.

** Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!

STEP TWO

** Surf this forum [link] and browse the lists. 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.

**My List**

1.) spending more time with my bestest buds evar over the holidays! both for the hell of it and to work on cosplays.

2.) cosplay funds. though i seem to be able to scrounge that together...maybe. -looks at the cup o' cosplay $$-

3.) fanarts, ficcys and other related gifts from the heart. cuz i love them. (Megaten obviously, Metal Fight Beyblade, Death Note, Hellsing, Yugioh (all of em), yeah...some of you know i have others. if not, just ask. Same deal with specific characters I love. Some are obvious, others, not so much )

4.) Megaten stuff! or any of my other (numerous) fandoms.

5.) a mild winter so i can spend more time with Chubbs without worrying about snow and ice. and cold, but mostly the former.

6.) Maybe fanworks of my characters or something? I don't know. That makes me sound selfish and stuff. Hmmmm......if anyone would be interested in this or something, lemme know. But I think it makes me look arrogant and self-important...yet I still would like some...=/

7.) Getting more ideas for fics, poems, art, and other creative stuff. I need inspiration since I failed epically at NaNo this year!

8.) Umm, maybe a tattoo or something? lol. This one will probably have to wait, but I'm running out of ideas.

9.) School to continue going well for my senior year.

10.) Just an overall good Holiday season with the ones I care about.

Yay! If anyone else wants to join in or try and fulfill wishes, remember to check out the forum linked above and/or copy+paste this into a journal with YOUR Holiday wishes. As for me, just note me or something if you want to.  ^.^
