'tis the season!

Hello, everyone!

My name is Cris.
I live in Croatia, Europe. I'm 28, geek and a fangirl. :)
This is my third year doing holiday wishes. I had a great time participating in the past years, so I'm happy to join the fun again this year.

My wishes:

1) Happy and peaceful holidays for all of you guys.
I hope you'll get a chance to eat lots of cookies, have some eggnog, cosy up and watch favourite Christmas movies, spend time with your family and friends, laugh, enjoy yourselves and have a great time.

2) Christmas cards.
If you're sending them, I'd love one. They make me smile, and my computer desk and wall look festive decorated with cards. :)
If you need my address (it's the same as last year) send me an e-mail to duskwillow [at] livejournal.com or comment here.

3) Pictures!
I love how everything is shiny and decorated for the holidays. So if you snapped any pictures of your Christmas tree, or Christmas lights, or you were in town and it looked really pretty and you took some pictures. Post them! :) I love those posts, they're always shiny and jolly. *<):o}

4) Fan Fic.
I'm reading Kirk/Bones (reboot), Arthur/Merlin, Clark/Lois and Clark/Lex at the moment.
Crazy holiday adventures or something with a happy ending is always appreciated during holidays.

5) Photoshop tutorials.
I'm kinda set to try out and learn new things in Photoshop in 2010, so I'm looking for good (and not too difficult) tutorials. Something like this for example.
If you know any, please link me.

6) Pinto walking pictures.
Come on, you two, walk! Together.
This

needs

to happen in 2010.

7) Make someone's wish come true.
Surf around, check other Wish Lists. Or if you noticed someone mention something they'd like that you could do, surprise them for the holidays. Or it doesn't even have to be now, keep an eye during the year and just do it. It's neat to surprise people.

8) Fingerless gloves, but a bit longer ones. Like the ones Mitchell has on Being Human (1, 2).
You'd think that would be easy to find to buy, but I've been hunting for something similar for a year and a half now and still no luck.

9) Anything from my Amazon wishlist.
Merlin calendar would make my year 24/7/356 times more awesome (and pretty).

10) And a wish to TV & movie gods:
- Season 10 of Smallville, and let it be as good as season 9 has been so far. And Erica/Lois in all 22 episodes.
- For third season of Merlin (it was confirmed yesterday! yatta! \o/) to be as awesome as season 1 was. Because season 2 was, sadly, a bit of a mess.
- More incredible awesomeness like "The Real Merlin & Arthur".
- Announce date/year of Star Trek XII movie, pleeease!

Happy Holidays, everyone! ♥

1: That's such a lovely wish, aww! I plan to have good time, have already bought some presents for my family, and can't wait to watch Bad Santa (my Christmas movie of choice. Yeah...) again!

6. I heartily second this!

7. Doing it all the time...

9. ...and now you're lucky, because I have something from your Amazon list that I've been meaning to give away! Might as well throw in 2. while I'm at it.

E-mailing you now!

Bad Santa is a fun choice!
I always end up watching Love, Actually and Serendipity every Christmas.

And thanks once more, answered you email. :)

Croatia is such a wonderfull country, I was there last year for three weeks :)

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you. Sent you an email. :D

So glad to hear you have fond memories of your visit here. :) Which town did you stay in?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_melies_/]

Thanks!

We went on a round trip along the coast, this is kinda where we went: http://www.kriskras.be/kaartjes2009/kroatie2009.gif and a lot of small cities too, but not Zagreb. Hope to come back one day and go there then.

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

That looks like a terrific route! So happy you got to see Plitvice, it's one of my favourite places. :)
Fingeress crossed you get to come back one day and visit Zagreb as well!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_melies_/]

It was a great route. Fantastic :)

Plitvice was very beautiful, but it was raining when we were there, shame though. Here's a picture I took there: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v687/Melissa_stardust/2008%20Croatia/P1070979.jpg
It's one of my favorites :)

I'll come back someday ;)

This is my favorite site for photoshop tutorials: http://www.onlyphotoshop.com/
I'll be taking pictures of my city all decorated tonight, so I'll post those later!

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link. Can't wait to explore and see what they've got there.

Looking forward to the pictures! :D

Oh these are wonderful! ♥ Thank you for shearing!
Love your tree! Little elephant underneath it is adorable. :)
And, aw, Hello Kitty decorations and cards are too cute.

And the town looks so festive! :D
Is that Santa's workshop in the window? I love it!! All the window displays look so fun!

Hey.

Thank you for a virtual gift! :D I've never gotten any, so it was a nice surprise.

Surprisingly enough, I've had your wishlist added to my memories already ;P And I think I may be able to help you with a few of your wishes - a postcard, for sure, and I think I can find some longer fingerless gloves for you as well (Mitchell? mm, you have a great taste, dear lady :D)... Any specifics as for their colour? #7... Well, i just finished sending it my first bunch of packages, have a few more to complete/send. I'll do my best for #1 :D And we'll see about #3 ;)

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Thank you for mine! ♥

Surprisingly enough, I've had your wishlist added to my memories already ;P

Woot! I love coincidences like this! :D

And yay, you're too awesome. ♥
Let me know if you'll need my address.

Any specifics as for their colour? #7.

I'm not a big fan of pink and brown, but everything else goes. I'm not picky at all. :)

(Mitchell? mm, you have a great taste, dear lady :D)

Heh. He really is sinfully charismatic and good looking, isn't he?

[xbrat-princessx.livejournal.com]

Well, you're from Croatia, so my package will still have a chance to get to you on time, even if I'll send you sometime next week ;P That's a big advantage ;)

Um, so if you don't mind... mail me your address on milly_uzumaki (at) yahoo.co.uk.

I'm not a big fan of pink and brown, but everything else goes. I'm not picky at all. :)
Hm... And striped ones, for example black and red or black and white? I've seen those somewhere... Will try to look for some more monochromatic ones ;)

Heh. He really is sinfully charismatic and good looking, isn't he?
Not to mention, he's not your average (for a vampire ;)) Mr. Emo/Dark-and Edgy - not very vampiric - and that's especially endearing... at least for me. The fact, that Aidan Turner is hot as hell helps as well, of course ;P (I'm shallow. And proud of it! :D) But, hell, I ♥ the whole cast.

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Good point. Nice advantages of being almost-global-neighbors. :)

If given a choice I'd say black&red, but black&white also sounds great. :D

Agreed with everything!
The whole show reminds me in tone of Buffy, because they're also using their conditions as metaphors. And that just makes the characters that much more interesting. I also love all three of them. Though it took me until episode 2 to get used to Aidan, because I was missing Guy like crazy (loved his portray as Mitchell in the pilot). But it was impossible not to be win over by Aidan, he's fantastic.

I can send you a card...email me at katewoolard at hotmail.com with your details!

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Yay, that'd be wonderful! :D
