I'm watching Ben 10 Alien Swarm with the boys. Whatever, I actually like Ben 10! I also like Kevin's car, lol.

Have had a headache since like Wednesday. Ugh. Nothing I've taken seems to have done any good, and there's only so much sleeping I can do.

I took my boys & my nephew Holdon to see Planet 51 yesterday, which was pretty adorable. I also pissed off my sister Shannon; she gets mad that my boys & Holdon hang out a lot and Storm doesn't get included but she lives an hour away and Storm is a brat. Anyway, she showed up yesterday just before I picked up Holdon & got mad b/c I didn't take Storm. I had never planned on taking Storm, I only had enough seats in the van for the three boys, and I only had enough money to cover the four of us. I'm kinda irritated that she got mad, but whatever. She was already mad b/c I told Pam about the baby before I told her. Ugh, families. (That said, if this is the level of drama I have to deal with, I'll totally take it and be happy.)

My dad's other daughter was in town for the holiday; my dad went out of his way to avoid her. Ha. I know I sound like a spoiled bitch when I say I'm the only daughter that matters, but it's the truth. Also, my dad's best friend (who I've claimed as an uncle since before I could talk) goes to court on Friday for getting busted selling drugs & is probably going back to prison, so I've gotta go visit with him sometime this week.

Someone should totally make me a Tomrad picspam; it'd totally make my week. :)

I wasn't going to do this, b/c I really don't want anything, but I'm doing it anyway.

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 friendslist (or friends friends, or just random journals, or 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.

%#% In the wise words of valerie_z: The first rule of fanfiction is that you don't talk about fanfiction. The second rule of fanfiction is that YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT FANFICTION. I mean... really?

%#% I'm working on holiday cards, so there's still time to leave me your address if you want one.

%#% I meant to type up the schmoopy sex that's in my notebook, but instead I spent most of the evening browsing other people's wish lists.

%#% I want to make a big whiny tantrum post but it requires words and talking about shit that I'm ignoring. Seriously, sometimes I need a good kick in the ass.

%#% I have google wave invites if anyone wants them!

%#% I'm gonna get a shower and go to bed but I still have my crackberry (we're attached!) if anyone needs me.
