[happy holidays!]
Dec. 16th, 2008 07:12 pmwell this took me long enough! i'm trying to mentally shove myself into the christmas spirit (i've been very...um..unfestive this year so far and i'd like to change that!) and i've always loved seeing this christmas wishlist thing 'round the friendslist. i love the idea of this community and i love seeing so many people taking time to make other LJ-ers - sometimes total strangers - days a bit brighter. it's pretty awesome.
anyway, on to the goodies!
1. credits at either paperbackswap or swapadvd. (this is easier than it sounds, as all you have to do is list me as a referral when you sign up.) i have become SO OBSESSED with these sites over the past few months - they will change your life i swear. they're so easy and a great way to try new books/movies and get rid of things that are cluttering up your house, too. i can't even express how awesome both of those places are or how much i adore them. (and they've both totally helped me with my whole new "buy less media" regime!)
2. get involved for equality. attend your local light up the night rally next weekend. Donate to join the impact or the human rights campaign. stand up. be heard.
3. earmuffs. i feel very retro. but i'm tired of hats messing up my hair.
4. wii points for the wii virtual mall/console thing. i had no idea that i apparently loved every game ever released for the super nintendo but there you have it.
5. new icons! i magically got some more icon space somehow (how? it just appeared!) and need to fill it. my biggest loves at the moment are supernatural, gossip girl (chuck and blair foreeeevvverrrr), the wire, true blood, pushing daises (SNIFF), and friday night lights (i am finally watching the back half of season 2. love!!). and of course, my eternal love for doctor who and west wing.
6. inauguration tickets. i know, they are rarer than gold around in this town, it's insane! but hope springs eternal. it'd be nice to be closer than the jumbotron two miles down the mall.
7. a care package type thing. basically i love getting mail that isn't bills.
8. good fanfic. i'm way beyond out of the loop on anything cool that has happened in fandom. is there such a thing as good twilight fic? or gossip girl fic? or long plotty spn fic i haven't read yet.
9. books!! i have a big wishlist at paperbackswap but really, i will kind of read anything ;)
10. cat toys for minerva (obviously, that's my cat). everything in the pet store is always noise based and minerva doesn't care, because she's deaf. so, if anyone knows about alternative cat toys, let me know. ;)

Fanfic...check out my friend threerings' rec comm, threerings_rec for awesome fanfic rec.
My friend waterofthemoon is big time into SPN, and does great icons. Take a look and see what she has. Also, _alt_icons has great icons.
Thanks for encouraging people to get involved for marriage equality.
And my cats' favorite toys are the rings off of milk jugs, pop bottle tops (the plastic ones) and pompoms from the craft store!

my cat is oddly fond of...like boxes from amazon or the gap. She refuses to sleep in the expensive kitty bed I bought her but somehow empty boxes...
I will totally check out

(just for looking you grant my wish to give this lady more traffic in time for the holiday)
i'm contemplating it for our boycat, cause it would be interesting to have something for our him to play with while we work instead of the curtains.
