Holiday wishlist meme thing
14 years ago
I've seen a few people do this and so I thought I'd have a go! It seems like such an awesome idea and I love the karma aspect of it. xD I'll be looking around to see if there's any of these I can fulfill for someone ^^
Step 1
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.
Step 2
Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. 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 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
Step 3
The List
1. Art of any of my characters would be absolutely thrilling! Especially icons. I'm totally on an icon binge right now >_> If anyone was so inclined, references for my doods can be found in my gallery here or my account for commissions and gifts

2. Music recommendations! I've been introduced to some amazing stuff this year that is either normally outside my usual (classic rock, 80's, OSTs of games I like, some electronica etc) or bands that I'd forgotten about/didn't realize they were still going... so yeah. xD
3. Booooks! I want the MTG novels like burning, and books 2 & 3 of the Night Angel Trilogy. I love me some fantasy stuff like The Elenium (need to get The Tamuli!) I also adore crime fiction and thrillers. Sidney Sheldon was my favourite author for a long time.
4. Money. >_>
5. Riot Points for League of Legends.
6. Purple things. Give me ALL of them. It's my favourite colour and looking at it makes me happy. Silly, I know. =p
7. An XBL gold sub. Mine ran out. *sadface*
8. To improve as an artist. I broke my hand this year for the second time and spent months unable to hold a pen or stylus without considerable pain. As a result I've really stagnated and hate everything I draw. If you've wondered why I haven't submitted any of my own lineart for a long time, that's why. I only slightly less hate my colouring.
9. I'd like for people to learn how to agree to disagree especially on harmless subjects. It's perfectly fine to state your perspective on things, but if you do so then be aware that there are others who are equally entitled to express theirs. Instead of going on and on about it until the dead horse has been pulped or trying to bully them until they concede, walk away. Some differences just can't be bridged and that's okay as long as we can all accept them.
10. For everyone to have an awesome holiday season and best wishes for 2012. It feels like a lot of things have been in a hole for a long time. The economy is a big part of that and here's hoping we can all recover from this shitty period.

Hope that you get back to feeling good about your drawing soon, and that you and your hubby have a great holiday season as well. :)
once I move I shall scavange a box and send you a purple package.
There you go, fulfilled no. 9 for you.
If you do like electronic stuff, one of my other favorite artists of all time is Susumu Hirasawa :3 you'd probably recognize his music from anime OSTs and the like- but his own albums are -amazing-. I would recommend maybe Solar Ray or Vistoron as some of his best, but the new CDs like PHONON 2550 LIVE and Hen-Gen-Ji-Zai are amazing as well :3 his voice is out of this world~ and he has SO MUCH stuff there's really a well of music there xD
Some random bands I like that don't get a lot of love IMO are White Light Riot and Carpark North :B their albums are some of those awesome few I can listen straight thru every time~ For more electronic favs, I adore Mind.in.a.Box and Son of Rust :3 I'm a big industrial fan as well xD but those to me sit right between the genres are just straight-up good.
and if I may be a little plug-y, my brother is also a musician xD I like his stuff, but most of his music is available for free download and is kinda electronic-rock-y and you might enjoy ;3 http://brettborovic.com hohohoho~
But I'm always up for talkin music :D I have a huge library and pretty eclectic tastes xD!! hopefully some of those amuse you though :D
