alianora: Sakurai Sho from Arashi, hand over one eye (MEI-CHAN: a butler in love)
I've seen maybe one of these so far this holiday season, but I've decided I'm doing it anyway. Why? Because i can. also, because i have another 20 minutes before i can leave work (kids were on the bus half an hour ago), and I'm bored but i can access dreamwidth!


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.



1. ICONS!! i have a serious icon addiction. hit any of my ships or any of my fandoms, and i will cheer! lately, i'm rabidly addicted to Glee (Kurt and Puck are my favorites, but i like everyone), Korean boybands (2pm, Beast, BigBang, TaeYang), and jdramas.

2. FIC FIC FIC FIC FIC. Yes. write or rec me fic if you want to make me giddy with joy. Glee (Kurt/Karofsky, Kurt/Blaine, Puck/Rachel, Brittney/Artie, Mike/Tina...whatever!), asian dramas (too many to list omg)

3. music from Glee eps: Madonna, Funk, and Theatricality. Glee eps for download: most of S1

4. anything and i mean ANYTHING from Lush. Dont like the smell of something you bought? Ended up with samples you wont use? I WILL TAKE THEM AND SQUEAL HAPPILY.

5. Candy or chocolate...pretty much anything chocolate

6. Donate to charity, adopt a kid from the angel tree, do something cool for someone else and tell me about it. :)

Fic meme I picked up from somebody I like, I just can't remember who:

If you were asked to pick one scene, one line, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the stories I've written and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?



Comments at Dreamwidth would be helpful on this one if you do it, seeing as I would love to be able to read comments while at work.

My wishes:

1. icons made JUST FOR ME, fandom related or with cool quotes. I'm still heavy into Asian fandom, including Arashi and Yamapi, but Glee and Bones are high on my list as well. I love stock icons, too. I'm still looking for some really cool Halloween icons, for instance. I love icons, i have ridiculous amounts saved to my hard drive, so this is an easy way to make me happy.

2. FIIIIICCCCC. Fic is my very favorite thing on the planet. I love gen and het and slash in all kinds of fandoms. Rec me awesome things, too!

3. Vids! I always love to see vids! If you make them, awesome, but linking me to stuff that is in my interest areas is also awesome.

4. An apron. I desire an apron. Something cute, but not frilly or pink. I'm tired of being covered in flour when Im baking.

5. A cute cloth doll for Voldemort. I love the looks of the Waldorf dolls, but holy crap they are expensive. Id love a boy doll of whatever race - I just really would love one for him that is all cloth, including the head.

6. Some Holztiger animals for the kiddo. These are SO COOL.

7. Audiobooks - I require this to keep me from obsessing about whatever could happen/did happen at work on my 45 min drive to and from work everyday. I put them all on my mp3 player, so if you have any sitting around on your hard drive, i'd love them!

8. This is going to sound rather weird, but I would really really love some homemade vanilla. I can't find any vanilla bean around here, or I'd make it myself.

9. Music mixes - Im always up for new music, and I love fan mixes or just cool mixes.

10. Donate to charity. I love Smile Train, but any charity would be awesome.


If you've got a list, please link me!

1. I signed up for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide. We will soon discover if this was a mistake, because i requested really random things, and if [livejournal.com profile] anenko or [livejournal.com profile] princess_dexter end up being my Santa, I wont be in the least shocked. Besides Glee, because SOMEONE seriously needs to write fic where Puck raises the baby, I requested RPF-SYTYCD, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, and Mei-chan. Because the WORLD NEEDS MORE MEI-CHAN DAMMIT.

I offered an insane amount of fandoms for me, so there is a slight chance i wont get [livejournal.com profile] magelette FOR THE THIRD TIME, but if that happens...I'm not sure I would even know how to write. How can i write if it's not for Kara? Help me. I feel lost and alone.


2. My boss has progressed to new degrees of bafflement. And by "bafflement," i mean "insanity." I walked past her twice today, smiled and greeted her, and she didn't so much as glance at me, much less answer me. Later, Brandus told me that HIS principal had pulled him to the side, and warned him he needed to talk to me, and that i needed to seriously kiss her ass to get on her good side. WHAT THE HELL. Is she bitching about me behind my back? What about? I KISS HER CRAZY ASS ALL THE TIME.

BRANDUS' PRINCIPAL. AT A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. WHAT THE HELL HERE PEOPLE.

I fucking hate her, seriously.


3. [livejournal.com profile] teffy asked me questions for this meme:
* Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
* I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
* Update your journal with the answers to the questions
* Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions


My questions were:
1. What is your favorite musical number that's been on Glee so far?
Hmm, the ones I have rewatched the most often have been Mercedes singing "Bust Your Windows," and Puck singing "Sweet Caroline." I loved Bust Your Windows, because I loved seeing Mercedes being front and center. And honestly, her compared to the tiny skinny Cheerios? I'd do Mercedes.

And there is NOTHING MORE AWESOME then Puck singing Sweet Caroline to Rachel. I could not believe it when they shipped them - I was already shipping them, but not expecting it, and then! and then! It was like Christmas and my birthday all wrapped up in one!

2. What Hogwarts house is the best and why?
Hmmm. I think they all have good points. I can be remarkably Hufflepuffian on some days, though heart and soul, I am a Ravenclaw. I could use a good bit more of Slytherin and Gryffindor some times.

3. Reminisce with me about the good old days of Domilie and Dombilie?
AWWWWWWW, the cutest people EVER, seriously! I miss the fandom of S1 of Lost - with Charlie and Claire cuteness, which lead to shipping Dom and Emilie, and where Dom goes, Billy should be too, so let's throw HIM in there, too, and it was so lovely. With such cute fic! I still have all of the manips that [livejournal.com profile] literarylemmingdid of Dom and Emilie saved on my computer.

4. Who is awesome-er? Danny Love? Jayne Cobb? Or John Casey?
You are fired. This question is mean.

Honestly, as much as I adore John Casey and Danny Love, my heart forever belongs to Jayne. Now, I know that Adam Baldwin has had more time to settle into the role of John Casey, and I respect that, but JAYNE COBB. He's big, he's tough, he's more then a little self centered...but he loves his mama, and he takes care of his crew, and he's THE HERO OF CANTON. There is no defeating that!

5. Are you doing Nanowrimo this year?
I debated and wibbled and stared at the website so many times..and then lost track of the days and forgot to sign up. Im both disappointed and relieved.
