Thank you! [06 Jan 2009|04:15pm] guiltyred venturous, thank you! I just got your package. The teas look delicious, and I am totally looking forward to listening to the music. I haven't heard anything by Thomas Newman before, and the U2/Eno collaboration intrigues me quite a bit. ^____^ 1 comment|post comment

[26 Dec 2008|09:16pm] snapesgirl_62 Many, many thanks to thesewarmstars for granting one of my wishes. I will cherish the needle gauge. There is a nice necklace it is going on to make sure I have it with me when needed. 2 comments|post comment

What a wonderful surprise! [18 Dec 2008|11:29am] yohjideranged Thank you so much, deborak!! *big hugs!* The paper will certainly get me through next term...I didn't expect so much! The Japanese book will be a great study aid. I can already read a few massages and once I start learning more kanji I will be devouring the pages! The monkey will be gracing some area near my computer - just have to clean my desk first. ^^;; He is so cute!! And you have officially won my cats over. They knew what was in the box before I opened it. All that box rubbing, I am surprised they didn't little balls of static. Needless to say: they approved and are thrilled. Thank you so much! You have made my Christmas a little bit brighter! 1 comment|post comment

One wish [17 Dec 2008|09:26pm] teamromy It seems that many of the friends that graced ye olde flist have taken the tumble back to LJ and have left this journal sadly unloved. So the one wish for Christmas is to have non-judgmental, very open-minded people to get to add and get to know. Journal is very friendly, open-minded, positive thinking (for the most part) and incredible into just being and being happy. If interested, please view profile and feel free to add. Thank you. :) 2 comments|post comment

Thank you! :D [13 Dec 2008|01:37am] homsan [ mood | bouncy ] zombieallomorph for the lovely postcard from Japan. ♥ alchemia & alasandalack for the shiny card and teas! ♥ 1 comment|post comment

Thank you, snapesgirl_62! [06 Dec 2008|05:04pm] dragovianknight [ mood | happy ] I came home last night to find a box full of pretty yarn, a beautiful burgundy needle roll, several pair of knitting needles and a set of DPNs (which I can't even FIND here, so double yay!), some patterns, and a holiday card! I'm going to have so much fun with this; thank you! (And the wash cloths are awesome!) 1 comment|post comment

Thank you! =^.^= [05 Dec 2008|06:42pm] guiltyred Thank you, alchemia! I made funny incoherent noises upon opening your card and seeing the tea packets - I adore ceylon teas of all sorts, Prince of Wales looks delicious, and just last week I was contemplating how very long it's been since I've had any Constant Comment! It's like seeing an old friend after many years away (seriously - it's been a while, and I've missed it). post comment

[04 Dec 2008|12:35am] mikhyel Holiday wishes, how exciting! Here's my wishlist: 1: Joker things. I love Joker like burning, he's my favorite character of all time, from any fandom. Home-made or bought, virtual or RL, I love anything Joker. 2: Bumblebars. My favorites so far are the apricot and the tropical, but I haven't gotten to try them all yet, because no one sells them where I live and I can only afford to order them once a year or so. 3: Anything from my Think Geek wishlist 4: Drinks, foods, and snacks that are interesting. They can be foreign or just strange, I like trying new and odd things. 5: Books! My favorite authors this year are Terry Pratchett (I have all of the Discworld books, but am desperately wanting any of the non-Discworld ones), Charles de Lint, and Florence King. 6: Gift certificates to my favorite local bookstores: Creatures 'n Crooks Bookshoppe and Stories Comics. 7: A Nintendo DS. It looks like so much fun! 8: A good pair of headphones that won't come off my ears when I'm dancing. My job is to stand outside the Little Caesar's and boogie to get people to come in the store, but it gets kinda boring with no music! 9: Fabric. My friends and I have an art-and-plushies group, and I'd love to have some new fabric to make plushies out of. Esoecially fabric that doesn't fray too much and is nice to the touch, like fleece or craft fur. 10: Less self-consciousness, more joy: Everyone is NOT looking at you and judging you based on how serious you are in public. So go out and dance in the street for no reason if you want to, smile all day, hug people, dye your hair, wear whatever you want to, sing at any time or place, just do what makes you happy regardless of who's watching. The world is a wonderful, beautiful place, and anyone that tells you that you should hide your enthusiasm for life is WRONG. ( Contact info under cut ) post comment

Ven's Holiday Wishes [30 Nov 2008|10:33pm] venturous (slightly modified from my journal version) ( Here's the Rules if you need them: ) 5 comments|post comment

Wishing [30 Nov 2008|09:43pm] guiltyred Greetings from snowy Michigan! I'm GR, and this is my first time with Holiday Wishes. I work for a newspaper as a copy editor, in my spare time I write fanfiction, and I'm hoping to make the jump to original novels before my job gets transferred to the other side of the state. ^_^;; 1. Flavored coffee – extra happy if it’s orange! (Seville orange and Southern Comfort coffees are love.) 2. Art for any of my stories. I write fanfic primarily for Weiß Kreuz and Final Fantasy VII now, and I’m working on some original fics over at my writing journal (here). I’d especially love to have art for the original stories with your permission to use that art on my professional website (something I’m trying to get set up in the next few months). Note that a lot of my fics do have adult material, but the art doesn’t have to! I like character studies and portraits, and I really like to see what my words inspire. 3. Your favorite candy! Yes, I’m a candy adventurer! I love getting sweets from other countries – heck, even other states sometimes have signature goodies that don’t exist in Michigan! (Do they even make Cherry Mash anymore?) Best of all is if you include a note telling me what you love about that candy – anything from a short comment of “Yummy!” to a long and deliberately silly “gourmet review” would make my day. 4. Gift cards – Target (home stuffs), PetSmart (because my cats don’t have thumbs or driver’s licenses), or JoAnn Fabrics (to remind me to make some clothes for my BJDs) 5. Mixed music CDs, any format. I’m fond of darkwave and movie themes, and I’m always looking for new stuff to write to (but I already have just about everything The Crüxshadows have ever done, so no need for those). 6. Hello Kitty anything. Yes, anything. 7. Japanese stuff – music, toys, candy, whatever! (Um, no natto, please…I’m not THAT brave!) 8. Tea! I’m a glutton for Stash Indian and Japanese teas, I still have a soft spot for Bigelow Constant Comment, and I’ll try everything in between! Whatever kind you like, I want to taste it. 9. Surprises! I could use a good surprise after the year I've had.  ^_^; 10. The Obligatory Amazon Wish List. My mailing address is: GuiltyRed P.O. Box 264 Davison, MI 48423 USA And feel free to PM me if you have any questions. </fck:meta> 2 comments|post comment

Wishes [19 Nov 2008|11:36am] dragovianknight [ mood | cold ] 1) In the "totally unreasonable" category, I would not say no if someone won the lottery and wanted to build me this house. I have a place to put it and everything. 2) In the "substantially more reasonable" category, my Amazon wishlist is here. 3) Fanart. I can just never have enough art of my favorite characters, and by "favorite" I still mostly mean "Dragon Quest VIII", though, you know, there's also DQIV and DQ Swords. If it's an illustration for my fic, even better. (Most of my fic can be found here, though I have a story or two here and here. 4) Mood themes. I ♥ my DQ8 mood theme, but I admit I got lazy and didn't make individual images for all of the moods, and it would be lovely to have a complete mood theme. Beast Wars and Power Rangers (MMPR through PRiS, though honestly my great loves are the movie and Dragonzord) mood themes would also be made of win and awesome. 5) Layouts for my fiction journals (see above links). They aren't paid, so I can't load them up with Flexible Squares, and I'm too lazy to learn to customize Bloggish and...whatever I settled on for green_ranger. Layouts that will work with free accounts would be awesome. The only must have for me is that the tag list must appear in the sidebar, and I like my icons to show up on posts. 6) Music. I am missing the two most recent Nox Arcana CDs, Grimm Tales and Phantoms of the High Seas. 7) Fic. There is a sad lack of Impalabot fic out there. There is also a sad lack of Dragon Quest fic I didn't write myself or strong-arm people into writing for me. I...I am honestly afraid to go look for Knight Rider fic (old or new) because I have less patience for crappy fic than for crappy television. I like mpreg, even though it has a bad reputation so the good writers never write it and therefore 99.999999% of what exists is utter crap. Tentacle fic is always love, of course. And since I flitter around the edges of fandom, and don't belong to comms or do much searching for fic, I'm sure I'm missed all manner of wonderful things that were posted by people not on my flist, so you could just rec me good stuff, even in fandoms I don't know; fic is usually how I find new fandoms. I like h/c and angst and non-con/dub-con, but I also don't like downer endings, which is why I write in universes where Magic Can Fix It. On the other hand, I also like fluff and crack and weird crossovers, as you may have noticed from my NaNo project. 8) Yarn. Doesn't have to be fancy; let's face it, I knit to play with pritty colors. And most of my knitting is small, simple stuff, suited to my short attention span, so even leftovers are good for me. Kittehs do not care if their blankies are multi-colored, and I don't care if my slippers are patchwork. Old but still useable knitting needles are also love; I inherited most of the ones I have, but more needles=more projects at any given time (see: short attention span). filled by snapesgirl_62 ♥ 9) Vids. My slow connection means I almost never seek out vids for myself; I can almost guarantee I won't have seen whatever awesome vid you point me at. Point me, and I will make a list and watch them at work. ^__^ 10) The icon described in this post. 9 comments|post comment

[28 Nov 2008|03:12pm] white_rat Oh it's that time of year agaaaaiiiin... 1. Cat things! Mostly toys or a bed or a cat care book. Or even just tips on cat raising. We just found two very sweet stray male kittens (4-5 months old) in our backyard and we had them de-flea-ed and vaccinated and I needs stuff to keep them from tearing up mah house. >=( 2. Rat things! I can't afford to keep buying my rats toys that they just destroy in a single night. If anyone has an extra small-ish stuffed animal that they honestly wouldn't mind having a bunch of rats rip to shreds, I'd appreciate it. And so would they, the little buzzards. ;) 3. I think I'd like an icon with the lyrics to "Drink With Me" from Les Miserables on it. 4. Fancy paper/notebooks/journals. I love paper. 5. I could use knee high socks something fierce. All I have are these blasted short ones and my legs are coooold (I live in Minnesota, by the by, it's cold). 6. Harry Potter stuff! Mostly I want those Harry Potter stamps from... Britain? I don't remember, but they have pictures of each of the books on them and four others with each of the house crests on them. They are amazing. I tried to order them, but apparently American addresses confuse their post office. I'd be willing to pay for them, if someone could get a hold of 'em. :) 7. Book suggestions to add to my book list. I'm always looking for more. 8. Any Alan Rickman DVD except: An Awfully Big Adventure, Dark Harbor, Help I'm a Fish, Die Hard, the Harry Potter movies, Love Actually, or Sense and Sensibility- I have those. ^^ I might be forgetting one or two, I don't know. I forget which ones I've only seen and which ones I actually have. Mostly I am looking for ,Blow Dry, as that movie amuses me greatly. 9. I would like more IJ friends. I don't update much, but I read my friends list every day... I am really into Harry Potter and slash, but I don't oft' post about either, so if it bugs you, it shouldn't be too big of a deal... I also crochet and am working on learning to knit- it's hard what with going to college and all, though... 10. You can contact me at white_rat at insanejournal dot com. :) PS. I remember last year there was some drama (at least in the LJ comm) about people linking to their wish lists in the comments. I would like to humbly ask you to please link to your wish lists in my comments. Especially if you're a Harry Potter nut. I may have something for you. :) 15 comments|post comment

Wish List? [27 Nov 2008|12:16pm] yohjideranged Hello from the Great White North that is Michigan! My name is Romy and this is my first time doing this. I am a tiny bit nervous about people seeing my wishes. Some are a little silly, but what the hell. I have helped people out with sillier requests, so here goes. 1. Help buying my school books for next term would be a joy! I am 35 years old and have just been granted the opportunity to live a dream and go to a wonderful university. It's expensive. Currently, for this next term (for 4 classes) books are running about $356.60. 2. I have five cats and as you can imagine that takes a little bite out of the old budget. Two of them are on special diets and $10 goes a long way in keeping them fed, so I guess a donation to feed their bellies would be nice. 3. New friends are always a welcome surprise. If you think we might have anything in common, come on by! 4. I like monkeys. Sue me...they are cute! ;) 5. I do have an Amazon wishlist if you want to surprise me. 6. Stamps. Pretty simple, but I keep running out! 7. Memorex CD-R disks. I put everything on these - I am pretty obsessive compulsive about backing up my computer - pictures, music, etc. And these come in handy at school for presentations. 8. School supplies - especially notebook paper (college ruled please). I really don't have a preference whether the paper is bound or loose sheet. 9. Final Fantasy VII anything. (Fic, Art, Dolls, Doujinshi, whatever!) 10. Books/Manga in Japanese. I am learning Japanese as my foreign language requirement, so the reading practice would help greatly! If you need to contact me, I would prefer a PM through LJ since lately my email seems flunky. Or to: Yohjideranged P.O. Box 264 Davison, Mi 48423 Happy Holidays everyone! *off to surf everyone else's wishes!* Happy Holidays everyone! 3 comments|post comment

[27 Nov 2008|03:55am] everblue I feel bad, because it's long, but I'm a poor college student and apparently I need things. ( Wishlist ) 12 comments|post comment

[25 Nov 2008|07:30pm] zombieallomorph My wishes #1 - Letters (by which I mean, anything that fits into my mailbox - letters, postcards, packets?). I'm in Japan until 2009/9, and I'd love to get letters from friends or complete strangers, or even become pen-pals. German, English or Japanese would be fine. You could try Latin as well, but I think the only thing I remember is "errare humanum est", sorry *g* #2 - Something David-Sylvian-related. No music, I own quite a few CDs already, and don't get me wrong, of course I'd like to have more, but I don't feel comfortable when I think of putting them in my suitcase and taking them back home next year. #3 - I saw someone wishing for art inspired by any of his/her writings, and I thought, I would wish for this, too. Umm, inspired by my stories, I mean. But since there are hardly people who know my stories, I guess it doesn't make much sense to wish for this. And I'm too shy to ask for readers. Weird, huh? #4 - Photos of Cologne (Germany) and/or the university there. Not the stuff you can find on Google or in books, you know - nothing professional, just what *you see* in this city. My email address is grey (at) whoever (dot) com :) 1 comment|post comment

If anyone is so inclined... [24 Nov 2008|01:30pm] jlsigman I don't have a huge need, really. If anyone wants to give something, know that I'll be here trying to do the same for others. ( Two-item list below the cut ) 2 comments|post comment
