All I Want For Christmas Is...

ladyofavalon77Whatever you feel like giving me :) I've seen this in a few other journals so thought I'd post it here too. Maybe I'll get a little surprise! And also breaking my usual routine hehe.
If you wanna get me anything listed above and you need to contact me about it, write an e-mail to jcvoyager77@hotmail.com and I'll forward my address :) You can also comment here and I'll screen my response to you! But only if you feel like it!
Quick little snippet about things happening right now. I got up at 4 AM. Yes FOUR!! It wasn't even light out to go shopping on this wonderful day of days. So many things to buy so little time before work. I don't know how I got through the day with only 5 hours sleep. The lines were amazingly long for this time of year, especially at Best Buy where it snaked around the middle of the store all the way around in a circle. Target wasn't that great either. Circuit City better because more registers open and scattered throughout the store. Word of advice if you decide to shop Black Friday: go to the department that sees the least action that day and you'll find shorter lines (for example, the car radio section at Circuit City). In the end, I came home with a bucketload of games, DVD's and a PSP. Is this a great country or what? And my Amazon package came in with the COMPLETE collection of Alias DVD's. All shiny and new in its cute box! I love the holidays!
Step One: Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related to medium to really big. 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 LiveJournal, so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two: Surf around your friends' list 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.
My Christmas List:
01. Paid account time
02. Icons of Jean Smart and/or Gregory Itzin as well as Martha and/or Charles Logan (I would particularly ADORE an animated icon of them!)
03. Postcard from overseas!
04. Knicknack from somewhere outside the US
05. Wallpaper or Header featuring Martha and Charles or Jean and Greg :)

Why can't you love me like that? Why am I not the most important person in your life?
