 Holiday Gift Wish Meme

Step One:
- Make a post 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 (fics, picspams, fanmixes) to medium (dvds, books, bracelets, etc) to really big (a new computer, a car, etc). 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 e-mail address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.


Step Two:
- Surf around your reading list to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, go for it! Either make that fandom item, or hey sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure.

- 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 give and to receive. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just... wish and try to fill and you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.


aka i'm super greedy

if you posted your wish list and I somehow missed it, please let me know!

PM me if you need my email address or something, i would rather not let the entire internet know who i am and where i live and what size t-shirts i wear XD

1. advice on where to get more ear piercings
2. rainbow shoelaces
3. new US and international space legislature
4. one of the following t-shirts: link, link, link.
5. for all my friends' problems to be resolved, or at least diminish somewhat.
6. first few volumes of Soul Eater manga series
7. books by Stanislaw Lem that aren't the Cyberiad or books by Steven Leather that aren't Nightfall
8. a girlfriend
9. tolerance all around
10. for people to commission me on dA. that would be super awesome.

Hayao Miyazaki needs to make an anime of some of the Russian Baba Yaga fairy tales.
that would be, like, the coolest thing ever.

let me rant about how cool airports for a while.

my god i love airports.
they're so glossy and at the same time beat-up. they've got that signature slabs-of-glass look that makes me so happy//
they're cold and warm and insufficiently climate-controlled, and they have stores full of things that i'd never want to buy.
they're paranoid and insecure and overcompensatory and full of people in uniforms. they mix all types together and make for really good people-watching.
there's so much technology and machinery everywhere that it makes my ovaries melt and come out of my ears
airplanes all over the place, baby.

i fucking love airports.

this lack of sanity is brought to you by wikimedia commons and the letter A.


also, it's cold here and i like being cold and that's pretty awesome.

i always thought i didn't know what addiction was like.

but recently i realized that, oh, hey, caffeine.
goddamn it.
i can't go one day without my goddamn coffee now.

fuck, fuck, fuck.
i don't need this.

i shouldn't need this.


in other news, i did some archery today and made a fire.
and watched a bunch of cop shows and read a bunch of crime novels.
i've got such a funny way of relaxing, if you could call it that.

also, bad circulation = cold hands = people trying to warm up your hands = pretty awesome

 introspection is. . .interesting.

it seems to me that a fair amount of my friends, especially friends i consider to be close, are friends with me only, or at least mainly because, i listen to them complain. i'm like the 'come bitch to me and i'll nod and say it's okay' friend.
how'd i end up here? i don't really like people who talk about themselves (mostly because i see too much of myself in them), and i was pretty sure i didn't like hearing about people's problems.
yet somehow. this.

i have a hypothesis, which is, roughly, that i attract people who like to whine about their problems because i'd rather hear about them being miserable than address the fact that i have plenty of my own problems, and that i should address said own problems before i deal with other, less important things.

this said, i'm going to continue to completely ignore everything that's preoccupying me, and go deal with the other people.

before you ask, don't. i refuse, point-blank, to talk about what i'm dealing with.

you can know i have a cold though. that's okay :>
