Step 1.
Make a post in your dA journal. 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.
Step 2.
Surf around your friends list (or friends friends, 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.
Step 3.
THE LIST
1.
Stardust!! It's been out all this time and I have yet to see it T_T
2. A laptop that DOESN'T have missing keys...and can stand up to my eternal abuse...
3. Enough snow to go boarding before I have to come back to Pittsburgh (okay, so this one can't really be granted by anyone except God, but hey...it said you could wish anything...)
4. World of Warcraft game cards!! The more I have, the less I have to bum money for it off of Jon and Mike!
5. A ps3 with Assassin's Creed -- or just a full day of letting me borrow your PS3/XBOX 360 and play Assassin's Creed would be almost as awesome... *hint, hint to Jakerz or Ian*
6. The
Maximum Ride book series in hardback (or in paper back...but I prefer hardback 'cause they can take more abuse and I abuse things...)
7.
The Ruins by Scott Smith (I think that's his name anyway...)
8. Umm...running thin here....well pretty much anything from Hot Topic or a similar store...I wear smalls in everything except hoodies--those are mediums--and between a size 3 and 5 in jeans...and any accessories they sell are fine, especially the stuff with wings and whatnot.
9. GAS CARDS!! I have like $0 for gas and it's going up really high in my area soon...so gas cards are always welcome....just like wal-mart gift cards, so i can buy food...
10. Umm...just money in general...being a broke college student isn't really all that fun...
