Briefly: I have it down to five grad schools. Three top choices (Columbia [not NYU like I originally thought], Amherst, and SUNY at Stony Brook) and two safety (University of Iowa and Marquette). Phew. I can do this.
Now, a holiday meme thing from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
endofhistory. (I've been lazy but I love the new hair, darling.)
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 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.
Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post 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. Once a wish has been granted, it will be crossed off my list.
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.
1. I want a new car since my brother already killed one. (It won't happen, but you did say I could wish for it.)
2. This book. I have put it on my Christmas list for five years now, but I haven't got it. I don't know if my family thinks I'm joking when I say this book exists or what.
3. Paid time and extra userpics for this journal, orcrimsonnpc.
4. Acceptance to grad school. (I know none of you actually have the power to do this, so maybe good vibes?)
5. Fic! I love it. You know me, I love a piece of fic.
6. A phone call. ♥
7. Send me a random song.
8. This. I love completely worthless, nerdy crap.
9.This shirt. I'm a 2X in ladies/large in men's. :o
10.Peace on earth. Post your own list so I can give you something. :D
