The most wonderful time of the year

[nspd.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Jenna. I'm a 19-year-old student from Michigan, and I was involved with this community last year and it was so much fun! I've been looking around for wishes I can grant. Here's my list of things that would make me super happy this holiday season. :]


1. Tea. My very favorite kind is black. I would love individually-wrapped teabags of just anything you have lying around.

2. Rename token for LJ.

3. Scarves. Any kind - I love them and wanna stay warm this winter!

4. Jewelry. It can be old jewelry you don't wear anymore.

5. Anything Rainkissed Leaves from Bath and Body Works.

6. This pendant from Etsy.

7. The Pact or Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult (can be used, in fact, I prefer it!).

8. If you live near the ocean, I want to hear your story. I love the ocean but I’ve never seen it in person, so I’d love to have the next best thing: tangible photographs you’ve taken and some words on the back that make me feel like I’m there.

9. This shirt from Threadless in a Women’s size Medium (short-sleeved).

10. Mix CDs.


Please e-mail me at stateofbalance at gmail dot com for my address! Thank you, and I hope you all have a fantastic holiday! ♥

What color scarves? What material?

[nspd.livejournal.com]

Any! My coat is beige/light brown so a lot of colors would look good with it, and I'm not picky about material as long as it's not too scratchy.

Can you email your address? I am going to make you a scarf! Sorry it took so long to reply.

Ahem. Email address might help. xreesex @ gmail

oceans!

I was born in Pensacola, Florida, & some of my earliest memories are of the sugar-white beaches there. When I was 5, we moved to Northern California, & Mom & I went to the beach at Santa Cruz -- we were in for a shock! We'd both been coddled by the bathwater warm Gulf of Mexico, so we ran into the Pacific Ocean. Yikes, that water was freezing cold! The California Beach Boys songs are all about *southern* Cal, not northern. But I love to look at the glorious Pacific, it's wild rough waves & the craggy coast it created.

I've visited friends who live near the Atlantic, & we walked in the surf on Cape Cod -- not as warm as the Gulf, but not cold either. The Atlantic's waves looked more gentle than the Pacific.

My husband & I visited Normandy in France & saw the D-Day beaches. Imagining hundreds of soldiers landing in those waves was heart-breaking.

Then we traveled to Antarctica on a little ship from the tip of Argentina. The ocean there has the roughest waters on Earth! And when you get closer to the Antarctic peninsula, icebergs dot the water. That was the thrill of a lifetime.

I hope you can visit an ocean soon. They're beautiful things -- the biggest & most powerful part of our planet :-)

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and pictures with me! They are beautiful. I especially love the Hawaiian sunset, and the Antarctica ones are incredible.

I hope I get to visit the ocean myself someday too; you're so lucky to have lived near it!

Thanks again, and happy holidays. :]

I can send you a bag or 2 of tea with a holiday card if you'd like :) Send me your address to alind9 at yahoo dot com!

There's one copy of Jodi Picoult's The Pact being offered on BookMooch.com right now - if you send me your address at misuranATyahoo.com, I'd be happy to try to get it for you. (Can't make any promises though; books tend to go fast there, so somebody else may have snatched it already by the time you read this.)

I can send some tea.
