Christmas Wishlist Memez/Updates

I stole from
HollyAnn O:
THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.
STEP ONE
** Make a post in your journal. 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 journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!
STEP TWO
** Surf around your friend 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.
(Since I'm not entirely comfortable with giving my home mailing address out over the internet to strangers, I'm sticking to online types of stuff. I probably won't think of 10 things, but who cares! o3o )
1. A top-up to my deviantART subscription; it expires on the 13th, so an extra month or whatever would be greatly appreciated. I loves me special features XD
2. Donations of neopoints or neat/rare/useful items to my Neopets account ( http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.p.....ml?user=kaz_am ); I'm looking for things like: Secret Laboratory Map pieces, bottled faeries, plushies, battle magic items, and books. If you have a Neopets account, feel free to add me on your Friends list too. I have nothing to do on there besides play games :P
3. A "mix tape" of neat, new music; i.e. a .zip file full of some mp3's/m4a's you think I might enjoy listening to.
4. A cute/funny animated avatar for FA.
5. An e-Christmas card.
6. Random drawings of my and/or Rook's fursona things or one of my 3254635 dust-gathering characters.
7. A digital drawing commission; I've always wanted to commission an artist like Vera or Ultravioletbat, but I'se too poor.
8. A dinosaur.

Update Stuff: I have some drawings/sketches (including
NinjaWeasel 's trade drawing, omgpurple!) to finish up and post. Once I get finished my first two finals on Friday and Saturday, I have a long break until my last one, so I'll probably be able to get 'er done.
I'm scrambling to get Rook's Christmas present(s) finished/bought, wrapped and shipped by the middle of next week at the latest. I still don't know what else to send him D:< What I'd really like to include, I can't find, and I dunno what else I could get. What's some cutesy little knick-nack thing that girls send to their boyfriends?
Oh, and I got my hair cut. It's shorrrrrt and cute :3
