It's making the rounds, this wishlist meme

I've already seen the wishlists of three of my friends. ^^;

Step One

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, 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 fun ("I'd love a 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.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (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.

So, here goes:



1 - Music that you like or think I'll find interesting. Considering I happened to twirl about to Ya Habibi for a whole week this should be fun. mp3s are okay.

2 - A how-to guide that you think I'll find interesting. That includes, but is not limited to, recipes, origami folding, sewing tips, drawing and other tutorials. Online ones are okay. ^_^

3 - A book (or its e-text version) that you'd highly recommend I read.

4 - ANYTHING ON RIZAL, THE PROPAGANDISTAS, OR THE REVOLUTIONARIES. ♥ Essays, books, articles, heck, fanart, fanfic, FSTs, I will accept!

5 - Fanart for my favorite Hikaru no Go, Prince of Tennis, Saint Seiya, Eyeshield 21 or Harry Potter characters? :D The list of my favorite characters so far includes: Ogata, Hong SuYeong, Kaidoh, Inui, the whole Rikkai team ^^;, the whole Hyotei team ^^;;, Virgo Shaka, Phoenix Ikki, Pisces Aphrodite, the Gemini Twins, the Oujou Knights Trio, Hiruma, Snape, Lupin, and the three eldest Weasley boys.

6 - Fanfic for my fandoms. That would primarily be the three Obata series (Hikaru no Go, Karakuri Zoushi Ayatsuri Sakon, Death Note), Tenipuri, Eyeshield21, Saint Seiya, Harry Potter, Bt'X (Oh, Kotaro-chan!), and Rizal! O_o I should add more, but I'm running out of brain cells. See the list of characters I like from #5.

7 - A non-wonky version of OpenCanvas. One that won't crash, do illegal operations, or not save OCIs. Please. ;_; OH MY GOD, [livejournal.com profile] ashesto should have a new country named after her. ♥ Thank you so much! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

8 - A funky hat. ^_^ Cat ears, clown hats, top hat, etc., etc. as long as it's a funky hat.

9 - A copy of the movie "French Kiss", "Much Ado about Nothing", anything with Alan Rickman (yes, even the ones I've seen before!), or the Noli Me Tangere miniseries produced by the NCCP. (Hm. It's the third Rizal reference!)

10 - A big coffee mug with a matte finish. My black one got broken without anyone telling me. *misses that coffee mug terribly*

Considering 2, 3 or 10. For 10--a mug or a coffee bowl?

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2006-11-16 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
XD Ooooooooooh, any will be welcome, and either for the #10. I just want something huge for my coffee refills. XD

OpenCanvas v4PE

HIT ME IF IT'S NOT THE CRACKED VERSION I'm not sure what I upped was correct, so. xD; I dunno, I hope this version works for you? If not, I could upload v1.1 for you.

OH MY GOD IT IS AND I CAN DRAW WITHOUT ILLEGAL OPERATIONS! I NOW OFFICIALLY ADD YOU TO THE PANTHEON OF GODS I WORSHIP, I DO. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm just speechless right now. T_____T YOU MADE MY YEAR!

as;jdflk Oh good, it works. I'll do #1 and 6 later. xDDD;

*adds more incense and flowers to her virtual [livejournal.com profile] ashesto altar* It couldn't have come in a better time, really. I was panicking over the art piece I was making the whole week, despairing that I'll never finish it on time with all the crashes, and here you hand it to me! ♥ *is still in alt* Definitely time to get cracking on some of those gift requests on your list, yay.

More presents? I'm okay with more presents, really. ♥

Uwaaaaaah. OwO ♥ ♥ ♥

*g* I'm just figuring out which songs to give you, first. What kind of stuff do you listen to? 8D;

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2006-11-18 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
(Ssssssssssssh, I decided on what to do finally. O_O Hope you'll like it.)

Erm, I accept everything? >_<; I tend to goo on music listening phases, now dance, then emo, and at one point all I had on my playlist was Chinese lute music. So I accept everything. ^_^

Advanced Happy New Year and 25th birthday, Dang. XD

1. Will be packing up several RAR or ZIP files of some artists I've been favoring lately for you to download. Or burn them to CD, to give to you when we meet. Just give me breathing time; this is room rearrangement/mattress shopping/school registration week.

2. Will bequeath my supermarket freebie recipe card collection. Or scan them as JPG files, pack them into a RAR or ZIP, and upload them.

3. Forget E-books. I'll be looking at my paperback collection to see what I can hand to you. Be warned: ratty copies galore.

4. Found NMT/EF fanfic plot bunny essay I did for PI 100. Will add more bunnies to it that I did not type in the submitted copy for obvious reasons.

5 and 6. Would love to make you some for NMT/EF world, but I have to consider fangirling as a spectator sport for the next semester (thus my handing over of NMT/EF bunnies).

7. Well, to see what the fuss is about, I grabbed a copy from the link above. Thank you, [profile] ashesto.

8. USED WINNIE THE POOH MASK/HAT MADE OF FELT (?). Already washed and sitting in my Pasig closet the last time I saw it. What say you? XD

9. I've decided to stay away from record/video stores for the time being (legit or not) so I can't help you there.

10. I'm leaving it to [profile] mierin_lanfear. XD

Whew! You made my life easier, because I can't think of a mystery item for you that's roughly equal in value to those I'll be giving [profile] _dilation and [profile] mierin_lanfear. XD

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2006-11-18 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
When I made this wishlist I didn't think anyone would try to get almost everything on it for me! *squee* *can't wait*

1. In return, I'll learn how to use FTP in Figaro to have my own downloads to you hosted longer. ^_^

2. Oh, God. Yes. I need to cook more often. My omelettes are particularly hideous these days.

3. Ratty copies are okay. You have obviously not yet seen my book collection. XD

4.Oh, vey! I've been waiting for that, you know.

5 & 6. *pats* We'll get you back in fangirling training over the summer. XD

7. You might never want to stop using it once you begin, luv.

8. YES! My sister squeed when I told her I might get a Winnie the Pooh hat. We're simple to please that way.

9. I accept non-legit editions! XD Oh, okay, really.

As for mystery items, really, I didn't want to impose on people. I have some pretty wild impossible wishes of great monetary worth (PS2 desu!) but I know it's going to be beyond anyone's means, so I decided not to put it up. XD After all, I wanted to share. :D

[identity profile] meristedange.livejournal.com 2006-11-22 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
1. See my new post for mostly old MP3s that I'm not sure if you already heard. :D

[identity profile] meristedange.livejournal.com 2006-11-25 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Checked my Pasig closet earlier today...

No Winnie the Pooh hat/mask. T.T /:-< Will have to replace it with something else.

On a lighter note, all my recipe booklets are intact. Essay nearly re-edited, and... let's see; haven't gotten everybody's gifts together yet. XD

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2006-11-26 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Woot! Mp3s! ^_^

And no need to replace the Winnie the Pooh hat, really. You're going to give so much already. :P

[identity profile] edincoat.livejournal.com 2006-12-06 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Who are your favourite characters and/or what is your favourite pairing in Death Note? I'll write you a fic, since I really have no ideas about the other items ♥

[identity profile] blue-cage.livejournal.com 2006-12-06 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Eeeeee - er, L? I really like L. :D I like almost all the people in the first arc, as I haven't gotten past it! ^^; And yay for fic! :D
