Step One
- Make a post (public, friends locked, 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 friends list (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 wishes:

1. icons made JUST FOR ME, fandom related or with cool quotes. I'm still heavy into Asian fandom, including Arashi and Yamapi, but Glee and Bones are high on my list as well. I love stock icons, too. I'm still looking for some really cool Halloween icons, for instance. I love icons, i have ridiculous amounts saved to my hard drive, so this is an easy way to make me happy.

2. FIIIIICCCCC. Fic is my very favorite thing on the planet. I love gen and het and slash in all kinds of fandoms. Rec me awesome things, too!

3. Vids! I always love to see vids! If you make them, awesome, but linking me to stuff that is in my interest areas is also awesome.

4. An apron. I desire an apron. Something cute, but not frilly or pink. I'm tired of being covered in flour when Im baking.

5. A cute cloth doll for Voldemort. I love the looks of the Waldorf dolls, but holy crap they are expensive. Id love a boy doll of whatever race - I just really would love one for him that is all cloth, including the head.

6. Some Holztiger animals for the kiddo. These are SO COOL.

7. Audiobooks - I require this to keep me from obsessing about whatever could happen/did happen at work on my 45 min drive to and from work everyday. I put them all on my mp3 player, so if you have any sitting around on your hard drive, i'd love them!

8. This is going to sound rather weird, but I would really really love some homemade vanilla. I can't find any vanilla bean around here, or I'd make it myself.

9. Music mixes - Im always up for new music, and I love fan mixes or just cool mixes.

10. Donate to charity. I love Smile Train, but any charity would be awesome. Or make someone else's wish come true through this meme. :)

YULETIDE YULETIDE YULETIDE. I am SO glad I decided to do yuletide this year, as I always love it so much.

AND my prompt is awesome, and I could concievably handle two of the four, although I'm pretty sure which one I'm picking. And I think I can get it fairly decent! *cavorts*

....must relocate source material in my house. asap.

Dear Yule Goat,

This is my fifth year playing in yuletide, and I remain stupidly excited about it every year. Whatever you write me, I will love, I promise.

I love solid characterization more than ANYTHING else. I love plot, I do, but the characters are what do things for me. I love character vingettes just as much as I love long epic fics that encompass 50 years and 7 different planets. Don't be afraid to write something weird - if the characterization comes through and I can figure out where they are coming from, I promise that I will be over the moon about it.

I love gen, het, and slash. I like gen just as much as I like porn, and I love stories about people who stumble their way to happiness. While I adore angst, I tend to be more focused on the happy for yuletide. If the angst bug hits you though, go for it.

I love snark and snappy dialogue and people who tease each other because they know each other and know all the buttons to push. I love quiet introspective pieces with no dialogue and only in one character's head. I love...many many things. Whatever you write will be lovely.

My requests:

Glee (tv)
Noah Puckerman aka Puck/Rachel Berry
Additional characters welcome! I ship Puck and Rachel hard, so I would love to see something shippy, but I'm completely happy with gen. What I really would love would be Puck raising the baby with help/heckling from the Gleeks.


...that's pretty much exactly what would thrill me. I want Puck ending up with the baby somehow, and the gleeks being involved and offering their own brand of help. Group lullabies, Kurt decorating the nursery, Rachel being afraid to touch the baby..I love me some Puck/Rachel, but I'm totally happy with them just being snarky at each other in groups, too.


Yankee-kun to Megane-chan
Daichi Shinagawa/Hana Adachi
Any other characters welcome. I really really want Shinagawa figuring out he likes Adachi and being TOTALLY HORRIFIED by it. Or anything where he is totally weak to her stupid ideas.


I love this manga, and that says a lot, because it took a freaking long time for me to even try reading manga. We all know Shinagawa likes Adachi, even though he claims that she likes him. I want him to actually figure out that he likes HER. He'd be horrified! It would be hilarious! Especially if he then decided to try asking her out or tell her he likes her. *snerk* Or anything, really, where she has a dumb idea, and he KNOWS its a dumb idea, but he goes along with it anyway. Because he's TOTALLY weak to her stupidity.


Mei-chan no Shitsuji
Kiba/Shibata Rihito/Shinonome Mei
Any other characters welcome. I would love group antics. I would love to see what happens to Rihito and Mei's relationship after the show, or when Mei graduates and the rules about butlers and ladies go out the window.


I LOVE THIS DRAMA. I LOVE THIS DRAMA. I LOVE YOU IF YOU WRITE FOR THIS DRAMA.

I love the silliness, I love the crack, but there was serious heart underneath all of the goofiness. Rihito wants so much to be Mei's perfct butler, but he fails and he fails and he fails until finally he cracks, and there's a real guy underneath all of that shiny butler perfection, and he loves Mei SO MUCH. I would love fic set after the show, where they're trying to live day to day lives, and being in love is against the rules. I would love to see something set during/after graduation, when the rules about butlers and ladies no longer apply. I'd even love something set pre-show, when Rihito is watching Mei live her own life and falling in love from a distance. Crack and feelings and ladies and butlers and everything, and hey! Throw in Zoicite Shinobu and Lucia-sama if you want! Everybody's welcome!

...I'm a little unhinged about this show. Sorry?


RPF - So You Think You Can Dance
Chelsie Hightower/Mark Kanemura
Any other characters welcome. I ship these two like burning, but am completely happy with gen. I'd love something set backstage while they were on the show, during practice, or right before or after performing.


I've never actually read any Mark/Chelsie fic, or any SYTYCD fic, so I'm pretty happy with whatever here. I love "Bleeding Love" the most of all their dances, but really, I love their chemistry, they looked amazing together, and they both cracked me up whenever we got to see backstage stuff with them.

1. I signed up for [info]yuletide. We will soon discover if this was a mistake, because i requested really random things, and if [info]anenko or [info]princess_dexter end up being my Santa, I wont be in the least shocked. Besides Glee, because SOMEONE seriously needs to write fic where Puck raises the baby, I requested RPF-SYTYCD, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, and Mei-chan. Because the WORLD NEEDS MORE MEI-CHAN DAMMIT.

I offered an insane amount of fandoms for me, so there is a slight chance i wont get [info]magelette FOR THE THIRD TIME, but if that happens...I'm not sure I would even know how to write. How can i write if it's not for Kara? Help me. I feel lost and alone.


2. My boss has progressed to new degrees of bafflement. And by "bafflement," i mean "insanity." I walked past her twice today, smiled and greeted her, and she didn't so much as glance at me, much less answer me. Later, Brandus told me that HIS principal had pulled him to the side, and warned him he needed to talk to me, and that i needed to seriously kiss her ass to get on her good side. WHAT THE HELL. Is she bitching about me behind my back? What about? I KISS HER CRAZY ASS ALL THE TIME.

BRANDUS' PRINCIPAL. AT A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. WHAT THE HELL HERE PEOPLE.

I fucking hate her, seriously.


3. [info]teffy asked me questions for this meme:
* Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
* I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
* Update your journal with the answers to the questions
* Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions


My questions were:
1. What is your favorite musical number that's been on Glee so far?
Hmm, the ones I have rewatched the most often have been Mercedes singing "Bust Your Windows," and Puck singing "Sweet Caroline." I loved Bust Your Windows, because I loved seeing Mercedes being front and center. And honestly, her compared to the tiny skinny Cheerios? I'd do Mercedes.

And there is NOTHING MORE AWESOME then Puck singing Sweet Caroline to Rachel. I could not believe it when they shipped them - I was already shipping them, but not expecting it, and then! and then! It was like Christmas and my birthday all wrapped up in one!

2. What Hogwarts house is the best and why?
Hmmm. I think they all have good points. I can be remarkably Hufflepuffian on some days, though heart and soul, I am a Ravenclaw. I could use a good bit more of Slytherin and Gryffindor some times.

3. Reminisce with me about the good old days of Domilie and Dombilie?
AWWWWWWW, the cutest people EVER, seriously! I miss the fandom of S1 of Lost - with Charlie and Claire cuteness, which lead to shipping Dom and Emilie, and where Dom goes, Billy should be too, so let's throw HIM in there, too, and it was so lovely. With such cute fic! I still have all of the manips that [info]literarylemmingdid of Dom and Emilie saved on my computer.

4. Who is awesome-er? Danny Love? Jayne Cobb? Or John Casey?
You are fired. This question is mean.

Honestly, as much as I adore John Casey and Danny Love, my heart forever belongs to Jayne. Now, I know that Adam Baldwin has had more time to settle into the role of John Casey, and I respect that, but JAYNE COBB. He's big, he's tough, he's more then a little self centered...but he loves his mama, and he takes care of his crew, and he's THE HERO OF CANTON. There is no defeating that!

5. Are you doing Nanowrimo this year?
I debated and wibbled and stared at the website so many times..and then lost track of the days and forgot to sign up. Im both disappointed and relieved.

I've never spammed a vid before, but that was before this vid moved into my brain, took up housekeeping, and now won't leave me alone. This vid makes me grin like anything. I can't stop watching it! I've watched it five times in a row, easy. I know little to nothing about the bands, but that's probably all about to change...if I can stop watching this vid long enough to find out about them.

The bright colors, the hair, the insane clothes - watching it is like being on a Skittles induced sugar high. IT'S AWESOME.

Pics are kinda small, but there is only so much you can do with vids saved from youtube.

So, Im dealing much better with life with the help of xanax and emotional eating, but im still out of fandom at the moment, and I am sad and lonely.

Not sad and lonely enough that I can focus on anything much longer then three minutes, with the exception of Glee and SYTYCD.

But i still want to watch things, and i find myself watching music videos and fanvids.

So, rec me something, by any one, for any fandom, whatever. Whatever you're into, whether it's just the musician, or just the song, or the fanvid you put together...whatever.

Rec it to me?


ETA: I have lost 2 of my favorite vids - both to "Shake It." One was Arashi, one was multi fandom Asian. Anybody have any ideas where they might be?

So, remember how I watched the kdrama Full House and hated my life?

Yeah, I still cringe in remembered agony, so i have no idea what compelled me, other then sheer insanity, to click the link to this vid.

Nonetheless! If you are at all interested in the show, you do not have to go through the pain! the trauma! the eye blinding fashion! that I had to go through!

Instead, you can merely watch this hilariously awesome fanvid! It includes her puking on him, all of their childish fighting, and both of them doing the three bears dance!

...seriously, Rain doing the three bears dance remains one of the cutest things in the world, and is partially why I cannot see him as a hotass.

it even includes my very favorite scene of Young-Jae abuse - where Ji-Eun physically launches herself off the ground in order to headbutt him in the nose. the show might make me homicidal, for all it's addictive stupidity, but that girl stays firmly on my LOVE list.

So, to save YOU the pain of having to watch this show (and for fuck's sake, DO NOT BLAME ME if it makes you want to watch it. I have firmly warned you of it's badness), I embed this lovely vid which made me cackle with laughter.



PS. I STILL HATE THIS SHOW AND YOU CANT PROVE OTHERWISE.

I'm feeling the rather astonishing urge to write.

This is new, as it's been several months.

I'd love some nonfandom specific prompts - quotes, a line or two of poetry or lyrics, something.

EDIT: picture prompts would also be cool

I havent been posting or commenting as much on lj lately. Multiple reasons, all real life related - the joys of dealing with a micromanager boss for a high stress job with intensive needs kids, plus the fun of having at least 7 people all of whom want to tell me different ways to do my job. Add that to a husband dealing with a bunch of real life crap of his own (both parents with cancer, one terminal and a waiting game - wacky principal of his very own, and high stakes testing for THIRD GRADERS).

Im on anti-anxiety meds now, which im hoping will smooth things out in the next couple of months. the downside is that they've made me so nauseous, ive gone through three pregnancy tests, just to make sure. anyway, once the meds kick in, i hope to be back and more involved.

for the time being, though, im here. i read lj. i might comment on occasion. but im not watching dramas or writing fic or even reading fic, and Im not planning on playing in [info]yuletide this year. which makes me sad, but i also completely dont care, so this is probably a good decision.

so. im here. dont be shocked i i randomly comment to you. dont be surprised if i dont.

ill be back in fandom one day, i promise.

boingboing brings us a story about a teacher of the blind in Detroit who could really use your ebook text to turn it into braille for her students.

AWESOME thing to do - if you know any of the YA authors personally, or you are a YA author, please pass this information along and pass on the electronic text for these kids!

*deep irritated sigh*

so, after being offline for 4 days with a working computer, i get up this morning to find the internet working, but I have a nonworking COMPUTER. It was stuck "configuring update 3 of 3" for Vista. It would turn itself off, then on, give me the configuring message, then turn off. then on. then give me the configuring message. etc etc etc forever.

so, i had to do a factory restore, so ive lost TONS of my files - mostly nonimportant things, as i kept most things on my external hd. but i did lose all of my bookmarks, including my recs for [info]minionsficrecs, firefox, all of my settings, and all of my addons. i also lost various software, most of which should be easy enough to replace and reinstall.

however, the firefox addons, and the greasemonkey scripts will be harder, as i dont remember what all i had. so if you are using an addons or scripts that you find awesome or really love, could you rec them to me?

Im home today, and will be home again tomorrow with the Dark Lord, who has a virus and a mystery rash. Yeehaw. So, any help would be awesome.

I MISSED YOU, INTERNETS. LIFE IS SO BORING WITHOUT YOU.

Here is what I've been up to, while without internet of any form. Please notice the glaring lack of "watched dramas" or "wrote fic" or "made vids" or anything else that could be considered fandomy. *sigh*




Things which I have watched, in English:

PS I Love You - overall ok. Cute, I guess, but the highlight for me was watching Harry Connick, Jr play a non smooth, rude guy, who is awkward and weird, instead of being awesome and adorable so girls fall for him right away. Also, the use of Ireland and Irish accents made me very happy.

Confetti - UK movie about a magazine having a "unique" wedding competition. Ended up being very cute! One of the couples has Dent, Arthur Dent in it from the newest Hitchhiker's Guide, and he's adorable as always. Mockumentary. Very cute and fun, and I grinned through all three of the weddings, even the tennis one, where I wasn't sure what to expect. The wedding planners are also adorable. Warning: one of the couples are naturists, and there is a whole heck of a lot of full frontal male nudity. It's not shocking beyond the first couple of minutes, imo, then it just becomes normal. Which makes sense.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - this is probably the movie i was most looking forward to, and the one i found the most disappointing. I dont mind awkward moments, but Nick and Norah's entire "relationship" is an awkward moment, and it was very hard to watch. Plus, the ex-girl was a bitch, and i was hoping for something where they just didnt fit anymore, rather than her being evil. Plus, he stranded her on the side of the road in the middle of the city IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, and i dont care how adorable Michael Cera is, that is a pure dickish thing to do. So, overall, 2 thumbs down. I did like the gay bandmates, the beefy guy, and a couple of times, the drunk mess.

The World According to Sesame Street - documentary about Sesame Street around the world, and how the different shows are created. Very interesting!

Fired Up - two guys join the cheerleading squad to get girls. Funny, and even though sex is mentioned, this is pretty much totally PG. And little sister makes me LIFE. Who is she? I swear I know who she is.



Things which I have watched, in English, with the child, as it has rained much and we are all sick:

The Street We Live On - Sesame Street, one of kiddo's favorites. It features the little red menace, but not so much that I want to stab myself in the eardrum.

Rescuer's Down Under - BRANDUS hadnt seen this one, and I couldnt let that pass. Kiddo seemed to enjoy it, pointing out the birdie, the mice, and the bad man.

Lilo and Stitch - another favorite. he really digs the music, too

Sleeping Beauty - going through the entire Disney library at this point, just so I dont have to watch Cars again. Didn't seem overally impressed, but it was the last movie we watched one day, so it's possible he was just tired of movies. Also, i just realized how creepy it is that Prince Philip comes out of nowhere during their first duet and wont let her get away from him. Of course, I've recognized for a long time how creepy the arranged marriage is.

Random Scholastic video involving about 8 books on video.



Things which I have watched, not in English, as I was running out of things that caught my attention in English:

The Aquarian Age - jmovie - got ten minutes in, realized i still had no fucking idea what was going on, and turned it off for when my brain isnt leaking. so far, there is a cute boy in white who ran a lot and who might have gotten eaten by another cute Japanese boy with funny hair in a dance club. Things were a little hazy to begin with, as all my notes say about this movie is "BOYS WITH WINGS!!"

Marrying High School Girl - kmovie - this one's kinda fun, in a rather nonsensical way. Girl who can't stop crying was told when she was little that it's because she's haunted by the ghost of a princess, and she has to find the princess' husband, and marry him before she turns 16. My favorite part of this whole thing is that, you'd almost expect that the guy she finds out she's supposed to marry would be the school thug and bully. WRONG. SHE'S THE SCHOOL BULLY. She keeps them all in line with her fists! And her guy? Is scholarly and cute with glasses, and he doesnt raise a fist to anybody the entire movie. Instead? We get her kicking ass and taking names. Otherwise, the storyline is sort of all over the place, and the whole plot doesnt make tons of sense. also of the fun is the "sex scene" which Im going to picspam, because you wont believe me otherwise.

A Very Special Love - Pinoy movie - hadnt seen one of these before, and I enjoyed it a good bit. No kiss, really, but with the amount of comfortable touching they did otherwise, i barely noticed. Cute, with an extremely adorable heroine. Also amusing to me was the amount of English thrown around, and the lack of accents on most of it.

Welcome to the Quiet Room - jmovie - recced on [info]rainscene, and one I enjoyed a good bit. Waking up in the psych ward is always a little disconcerting. I liked the pacing of this, and something you would think might become a running gag (the masculine looking female doc) only shows up twice.



Things which I watched a while ago, and never got around to discussing:

The Ramen Girl - this is a jmovie, i swear. or it SHOULD be, as it's about a woman who gets stranded in foreign city with no money and no way to communicate, who discovers the joy of ramen and it changes her life. SEE? IT'S TOTALLY A JMOVIE. Except for the fact the foreign city is Tokyo, and the woman is Brittany Murphy. Pretty good, but i have discussed things with [info]anenko, and we both stayed worried the entire time that the love interest was evil.

My Boyfriend is Type B - kmovie - guys with type B blood are lazy, selfish, and obnoxious. Pity our girl just found who she thinks is her soulmate, and he is a complete type B. Cute, with a heroine who is entirely too willing to let her boyfriend walk all over her, and thinks she can overcome the issue with a smile...until about 3/4s of the way in, when she shows she ain't willing to be a doormat anymore, and suddenly HE is the one dancing to her tune. I enjoyed it!



Other things I have done, while there was no internet:

Read Beka Cooper, Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce - I love how calmly and easily Pierce slips things like transsexuals into Tortall, without even making a fuss. Heh. Fun read, as always. I like Beka more and more, although the discussion of her "peaches" got tiresome. However, she at least got some without worrying about being in love. Go Beka!

Cleaned the kitchen. Again.

Dealt with the fact that child did not manage to pee in the potty AT ALL the entire Monday. AT ALL. I'm blaming it on the fact that he was running a fever. He also took off his diaper when he woke up, and that was a HUGE mess.

Stood by with a look of disbelief when Brandus suggested, "Let's go get a kitten!" and then came back INTO MY HOUSE, with a snake. *shudder* I dont want to talk about it, except that he fully understands that i will never take care of it, he is not to take it out of the cage anywhere near me, and it's not to come back into the house. It's in his classroom, now. AND THERE IT SHALL STAY. Dont get me wrong, in the mother earth sense, i dig snakes. I think they're nifty. I dont even mind them that much if they're in cages. But OUT? OUT OF THE CAGE?! Brandus found this out when he took it out to show it to me in the car and i immediate plastered myself against the door and started saying, PUT IT AWAY PUT IT AWAY GET IT AWAY DONT TOUCH ME.

Dealt with my job. Bleh. I dont hate it, Im actually enjoying the hands on teaching...and please understand that is HANDS ON in full meaning, as my preK kids are autistic, and we're a self contained classroom. And wow, was I sore on Friday afternoon. But the principal is kind of unbelievably micro managing. I dont want to discuss it, but I went home LAST weekend and cried all weekend, and this weekend I'm just trying to keep myself as distracted as possible. Brandus told me he wont let me hit bottom again, and if it turns into another situation where i go on prozac or i cry all Sunday, I'm quitting. He told me to come up with a backup plan. So far, we've veto'd professional surfer and public heckler. Any other ideas?
