My Own Personal Handbasket
Now tell me why.
If you want me to tell you why you will meet me at the gates, post this in your journal.
A. Pick 16 of your favorite movies.
B. Then pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have those on your friends list try to guess what the movie is.
E. Strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified and place the guesser's user name directly after the quote.
The "I am a Unique Consumer Snowflake" Meme
(nicked from chanlemur who got it from
feech...)
( Unique up on it... )
I ran across this questionnaire in cadhla's journal (provenance from
soundingsea from
wisteria_ ) and it got me to thinking... I'd like to know if there are more people reading this than the four madmen I admire most, the pagan dancer and the writer on the coast. ( But of course, you won't answer, will you? )
This was stolen from cadhla , who knows me not, except as a buzzing annoyance.
The Wish List Meme
* Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Jenny/Giles 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 to make sure that these wishes are things you really, truly want.
* If you wish for real-world 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 LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two:
* 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 and 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.
