+ 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.




+ NOW LETS SEE YOUR WISHES +


1. I wish that 2010 will be a good year for everyone! the last couple of years or so has been pretty shitty, not just for me but for other people too, so.. fresh start hopefully :]

2. I wish someone would dedicate something to me, it would mean a lot <3

3. I wish I could have a text that makes me smile, that I can look at when i'm feeling down. I've actually still got some messages from like last year because they mean so much to me. So they would be much appreciated! <3

4. I wish i could play the violin! *looks expectantly at BeckI (with an I)*

5. More hugs! :]

6. I wish that I went to a good drama group (and had some lovely person to go with me!)
so does anyone know of a good drama group?

7. Whenever I listen to Fix You, Coldplay -[link] - I always think to myself I wish that someone could fix me </3

8. I wish that when I put deviations up I could get like.. lots of comments :]

9. I wish I was more organised! Seriously, help me lol. I just never get stuff done anymore! D:

10. I wish I knew what people thought of me! I would love it if you could comment and tell me. Or note me or something :] it doesn't have to be nice things, could be bad - depends on your opinion of me


Geez, it took me about.. a week to think of these wishes

how come you can never sleep when you actually want to?

desperate to get away from reality for a few hours. live in a world of dreams. and sleep just never comes. the tears eventually dry up. so you just lie there. numb, not feeling anything, yet feeling everything.

i didn't get to sleep till about.. 5? and then i had to get up to go to church to have a depressing conversation about war and afganistan (sp?)

got like a stack of homework to do, but i can't bring myself to do it. don't have the energy to care anymore :/

but i'll stop with my little feeling-sorry-for-myself rant now.
got to go revise for this maths exam on friday that i'm going to fail.

.. raised by the bastards of 1969

went to go see greenday last night!!
was quite literally, one of the best nights of my freakin' life!
we were standing so i got quite squished and stunk of smoke/beer etc afterwards but i don't care cos i was so near to Billie Joe! and i got some piccys :] i might put them on facebook or maybe a few on here but i'm not sure cos they're not exactly expertly taken haha.

have you ever had that feeling where you forget everything? and i mean absolutely everything.. just lose yourself. every little worry. every little piece of shit you try day in day out to forget. i don't mean like a release for a few minutes, i mean you like properly lose yourself.

i felt like actually genuinely happy to be alive. like all those months of darkness were worth it. was in a daze all night, lol. it's just such a great feeling :]

gradually wore off through today though, lol.

went to watch this drama group at church tonight. was wellll funny! basically just this two man act of the whole of genesis squished into about an hour. but they made it actually intresting

but now i'm just sat at home by myself on halloween.

ooops, being kicked off now.

"'Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little - well - complicated
There's a kind of a sort of: cost
There's a couple of things get: lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed"

okay, maybe i haven't had my dreams come true lol. but there were times when it was all i would wish for, to be like this.
but it's always not how you imagine it.

i've stopped one bad habit and started another.. someone scarily wrote a poem that was about exactly what i'm doing. really freaked me out. i'm not gonna put a link, don't really want it publically broadcasted.

*sigh* i know this isn't helping me. and i know i'm being stupid.
but i actually want to do this. it's keeping me sane.

although, i actually feel like things are getting better y'know.
i feel better than i usually do actually.
as i said, i've stopped one bad habit :] although i do miss it in a twisted way :/

sorry that all that probably doesn't make sense to you lol.

ugh, feeling quite ill
but i have to write an english essay D: what joy..
better go get on with it :/

In memory of Leah Cope. Who really was too young to die.

I can't say that i knew you. but i still found myself fighting back tears when i was being told that you died in assembley.

you meant so much to so many people. and you've been so strong. i never realised how strong you've been until yesterday. and you've inspired me. never again am i going to complain about my "problems".

R.I.P.

you will be missed by so many x
