Well, here I am! burned out, never with an idea of what to post here, just done with my finals and still waiting for results on the written ones.
It's... weird. I used to write so often here some years ago, but now all I currently have to offer is Tweets Tweets. xD Not exactly, though: I sometimes think "whoa, maybe I shall write about this...", and then NADA comes to my mind. How to explain what I just went through, good or bad? How to tell it without sounding disjointed or silly? Nah, getting tired... *yawn*
I'm more and more "disperse" in that sense. Poo.
Good news, though! Started sending out the X-mas cards. Some will have to wait a little more due to lack of time and $$, but I'll send them up ASAP. In the meantime...
Step One:
• Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Saga 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 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, my X-mas wishes are. . .
* Fanarts/fanfic for my favorite couples or characters. Don't have the super list handy, but I'll link it when I have it. Or beta-ing some fics, if you need help at that.
* A rename token for my Live Journal. Not paid time, no userpics, just the rename. I'll get the rest myself in a li'l more, no worries, it's just that I can't handle them both.
* Confidence at RPing again. Ever since the stuff that happened on the anonmeme, well, my RP security went down the toilet, and I also see that RPing is... well, sometimes harder than it used to be.
* Some time and self-encouragement to start posting at365drabbles. Playing Fire Emblem 7 and 8 again has given me some plotbunnies, I just need to put my bunbuns in order. =B
* Some typing or English/Spanish translation works for the summer break will not hurt either. Both for $$$ and for translation practice.
* Confidence to pass my exams and final essays. Because if I do pass all of this, I'll be in a better position to graduate next year. So little is left...
* To f*cking get peace of mind. ;A; Never can hold enough on it.
I'll try coming up with something more... articulate later. Many hugs to those who need them, and hugs for everyone else just in case. <3
