Holiday Wishlist Meme

[soc_puppet]

Nabbed from cookinguptales

Step One
- Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your journaling platform. 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 journal, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friends friends, or just random journals, or holiday_wishes/wish_list) 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.

Copy-Paste the rules for Dreamwidth: Step One - Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your journaling platform.

My wishlist:

1) Paid time on Dreamwidth; I've really been wanting to renew my account for a while now, but finances are a little tight on my end, so I don't know how soon it's going to happen.

2) The first Stellvia DVD. I managed to find all the other ones at Half Price Books a while back, but without the first it's not very effective. Especially since I've been watching a lot of stuff dubbed recently, so I don't have to be staring at the screen the whole time; I mean, I miss some stuff this way, but it helps me get crochet work done, so.

3) A second Nintendo DS. Heck, as long as I'm dreaming, why not a 3DS? I want to be able to trade with myself or transfer Pokémon at the drop of a hat, mostly. [/wishful thinking] (...Alternately, if anyone is up for commissioning me for about the price of one of the above, I'd totally be up for that. Hell, any of 1 through 3.)

4) Yarncrafted wrist warmers. My workspace is in the basement, and it's generally about ten degrees cooler down here than it is on the first floor.

5) Something (art or fic) Rose/Kanaya featuring Aeschynanthus Radicans (images: scroll down) It is my favorite plant and they are my favorite ship and if one or both of them wouldn't be charmed by a flower that looks like a tube of lipstick before it opens, then I would be quite surprised. I am only disappointed that the flowers don't resemble chainsaws upon opening. Also, being a hanging plant, it tends to droop tentacles over the sides of whatever it's been planted in. Tell me it would not fit right in. Just try.

6) Something (art or fic) sweet and fluffy for any of my fandoms. Especially if it's poly.

7) Anyone familiar with the early D*sney release of Kiki's Delivery Service? I'd love to have a copy of the songs from that. Or from the re-release, where they kept(?) the Japanese songs and dropped some of dub!Gigi's lines, but I really stressed my VHS copy out trying to memorize the lyrics from the English songs, and the new dub is just missing that extra nostalgia bump from being changed and not having them. I totally filked that first one for Digimon back in the day, I won't deny it.

8) A Snivy of my own. Or two; I wouldn't object to having one in each game.

9) Fic or art for Heart-Pounding Excitement at Mononoke Girls' Academy. It's one of my favorites, and I don't wanna be the only person I know who's done anything fannish for it :(

10) A good mac-n-cheese recipe or two. Or some rice cooker recipes. Or egg bake recipes. Bonus points if they're high in iron/can include spinach.


And now, with that done, link me to yours! Or make yours and then link me over. Or not, whatever. I'll have my contact info up in a little bit, if you actually feel like sending me something physical.

What's your trading info and I can hook you up with a Snivy when I get home from work later. I have extras on my White game :)

[soc_puppet]

If I'm not so late that the offer isn't good anymore...

Black: Hilda - 3782 9856 5615
White: Socchan - 2193 7039 4521

Anything in particular you'd like? I've got a fair number of Pokémon with dreamworld abilities I could breed, and I started with Tepig and Oshawott, respectively.

[abarero]

It's still good! I should be online the rest of the evening, so just reply back when you're on your system :)

As for a trade- I'd love a strong flying type right now, especially any of the earlier generation ones (Starly, Pidgey, etc.) If all else fails, I'll take a Rufflet :)

[soc_puppet]

Okay, I'm ready to go :)

I've got a Starly ready on White, and a Rufflet (and several dreamworld options) tucked away on my PC; I don't have anything in particular on Black, unless you'd be interested in a Tropius (male) with harvest.

[abarero]

Ooh I'll take that Starly then if you don't mind :)

[soc_puppet]

Absolutely :3b She's at level 5, and her nickname is Estrella. [/dork]

[soc_puppet]

Orrrrr maybe I'm not so ready as all that :/ I've got bars aplenty on the C-Gear and can connect to wi-fi fine, but no bars in the union room. Argh =_=

[abarero]

Ah the Union room can be fickle. I'll get on it and see if I can spot you. Mine is under

Jennie 3525 2779 2575

[soc_puppet]

Ah. Well, then. I suppose I'll give it five minutes, then leave, add you, and go back for another try?

[abarero]

Sounds like a good plan. Mine's still doing its "standing by" thing too.

[soc_puppet]

Giving that plan a shot, then; fingers crossed '_'x

[abarero]

Okay, my WFC just kicked me off and said there was problems, so I bet they're having WFC troubles right now. We'll just keep trying this week until we get it to work. I'll hop online tomorrow night after 9:30pm, just comment to me on LJ to let me know you're on.

[soc_puppet]

LOL, the notice for this popped up in my inbox literally right after I'd posted my own comment down there XD Anyway, sounds good to me! I'll comment at you around then :)b

[soc_puppet]

Blargh, lateness on my part /-_-\ I'm ready to give it another shot if you are, though.

[abarero]

I'm on now :)

[soc_puppet]

Okay, I'm in the Union Rom :) With... the signal indicator still indicating red/no bars. Hrm. I am beginning to suspect User Error on my end :/ I should dig up my boxes, see if I'm not doing something I should be (or vice-verse).

[abarero]

Oh boy, it's giving out connection errors again on my end tonight. It's probably this weather, which is bordering on almost-snow here at the moment. As I said before, I'll keep this Snivy aside for you and we'll just keep trying at it until we can get it to work.

[soc_puppet]

Considering it took my connection something like seven minutes to post a reply to your earlier comment, I am inclined to agree WRT weather. Anyway, that sounds good to me :) I'll keep Starly in reserve as well.

[soc_puppet]

And I'm still not getting a signal in the Union Room :( Shall we try again later/tomorrow?

[dogmatix-san.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I know there's one spinach(and mushroom, if you want) roll recipe that we have floating around. Let's see.... steam the entire thing of spinach(and mushrooms - crimini or portabello are good for this) for 'bout half-an-hour.

Meanwhile, mix a thing of sour cream with a cup of flour and maybe a little salt? until you have a pastry-ish mix. Take a buttered-and-flour-dusted pan and spread the pastry mix flat on it.

Strain the spinach(careful, it's frikkin' hot) to get as much water out as possible. If you want to mix in a bit of salt, this is probably a good time.

Make a tube-roll of the spinach on one half of the pastry, and fold the other half over to cover. Pinch the edges closed. Take one egg-yellow and spread on top.

Bake at, uh... 350? for, uhm. Until brown/baked, I think about 10-20 min.? No more than half-an-hour. XD;;; I can track down the actual measures and quantities and temperatures and times if you're interested in this recipe. XD;;

And of course there's always spinach and egg (and cheese and tomato and mushroom and anything else you want) quiche, which is easy to the max, especially if you don't bother with a crust. I can never stand the pre-made crusts anyway - always too sweet.

[soc_puppet]

Ack /)_(\ I am the latest thing in the history of lateness and am also late.

Both of those sound wonderful, if you have the recipes available :) Actual measurements would be great, since I have no instinct when it comes to eyeing stuff in that I haven't made a million times - and even then it can be hit-or-miss.
