guys, if we keep rescuing the kidnapped "civilian" who is also the "inept yet determined/reoccurring supervillain" and MY GIRLFRIEND, no wonder we are only 59% effective. it's like a freaking soap opera or something! or possibly Batman! I'm looking at you,
ION, you guys! I'm not dead! just ... *flail*
I need to make a more effective post. later.

all I want for Christmas ...
Dec. 4th, 2007 02:36 pmas promised, WISHLIST!
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 fandom-related ("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 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 LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) 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.
( my wishlist: )
LASTLY, eleven:
11) 11 is more of a bonus and reminder than a wish-request, which is why I have no trouble adding it on:
PRAYERS. prayers and happy thoughts for anyone, everyone, the whole world. let's boost the Christmas cheer a little :D
my address will follow in a friendslocked post; if you're reading this and I don't have you friended and you want my address just e-mail me (or comment here with your e-mail) and I'll send it to you :)
IF YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME YOUR CHRISTMAS WISHES, PLEASE DO!
*heart*

I AM A SNOW NINJA!
Dec. 1st, 2007 03:53 pmon the one hand, it's the first of December and suddenly vibrantly cold, in a wonderful beautiful nose-bitey bundle-up way, 17 F with a below-zero windchill, and I love it. LOVE IT!
... on the other hand, our heating went out some time last night, which means no hot water and no, well, heat. which at 17 F with a below-zero windchill is ... uh. bad. especially with my cold allergy. so I have my hat on under my thickest hoodie, and my matching scarf around my nose and mouth. SNOW NINJA!!! :D
if it gets much colder though I'll have to go to the library.
BUT STILL! CHRISTMASWEATHER! (though no snow yet :( ) and everyone else is keeping warm decorating the house, while I bundle up andpost to lj do homework (I supplied the music!).

(seriously. like, even after it was all charged it was giving me drama about not loading and shit, just staying on the blank grey screen, and then I came back after going to the pub and supersnacks and, yanno, GIVING UP (as in I requested a RMA return number from the reseller and everything and then watched Howl's Moving Castle with peoples and seriously, GAVE UP), I decided hey what the heck guys let's fire it up and everyone else had gone to bed and there I was in the tv room going "AHAHAHAHAH WHAT! IT'S ALIVE!!!")
first thing I did of course was I stuck it on the internet.
second thing was I made a post to my Livejournal. OF COURSE.
or ok. second thing I did was IM
jaredsexual. SECOND AND A HALF thing was post to Livejournal.
in conclusion, AHAHAHAHAHAHA O HAI THERE IBOOK. also, DEAR MAC OS X YOU AMUSE ME. SO BOUNCY ♥

wolby? then you have a pretty good idea. *bounce*
in other news, JAMES JOYCE. OWNS MY SOUL. and not in the fun way; in the "I am always carrying a copy of motherfucking Ulysses or Dubliners or something around with me and shouting 'SCRUPULOUS MEANNESS!' at unsuspecting strangers" way.
uh.
so, I should probably go to bed.
have you heard that Dumbledore is gay?

that didn't even make sense. whatever. anyway.]
Dear
Pete Wentz, as incredibly much as you are not a Byronic hero, you are also definitely not a Byronic antihero. I mean, what the hell? that's not even a thing. at all. that I know of.
and no, "First Byronic Antihero in Space" is not a viable title. for you or for anyone.
also, and I am only going to say this onemillion more times, get out of my head RIGHT NOW.
*exhausted flop*
no Love,
Mel
