Holy crap, it's cold!

It was 30 degrees when I woke up. And that was after the sun had been up and out. Even the rooster was inside and not out crowing like normal. I immediately took a hot shower and bundled up, and while it's up closer to 40 degrees now, it's still damn cold.

Last night we stayed in and watched movies.

nijawial had never seen Road to El Dorado! We had to fix that, ASAP. And we also rented The Emperor's New Groove, which is always an awesome movie, and Sinbad, since Nija also hasn't seen that. But when we were done with Emperor's New Groove, we were tired, and just went to bed.

Day after tomorrow, we're going to be heading to my parent's house for Thanksgiving. I will be chained in the kitchen until Thanksgiving dinner itself, most likely. ;) We have an epic feast prepared, and I get to do most of it.

Anyway, it's that time of the year again!

Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten 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 to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) 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 one person'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.

1. The same thing I put first every year. :D Art/illustrations for any of my fic or RP scenes. I have this epic love for art, especially personalized art, because I have no talent for it whatsoever.

2. Mix CDs/Zip files. I love music, especially new music. I love classic rock, trance/psychedelic music, and grunge.

3. Anything dragon related. I have a collection of dragons and draconic things, and I am forever adding to it.

4. BPAL/Lush stuff.

5. Anything Venture Bros. Seriously. If it has 'Venture Bros' on it, I don't care. Posters, T-shirts, action figures, stickers, anything. It's impossible to get the merchandise out here. :/

6. Fic for any of my favorite fandoms/pairings.

7. Foreign candy/goodies. I love foreign candy, very much. And as I'm American, pretty much anything counts as foreign. ;)

8. Nice, new headphones for my MP3 player. Mine are broken. :/

9. Old dolls or action figures. I love restoring and modding them.

10. And because every list needs one of those big items you know you won't get but put on there anyway because hearts will dream: A Nintendo DS.

I really ought to have some breakfast now.

I might be able to take care of #8 for you!

What kind of headphones do you want? Like, earbuds or those wrap around ones?

I...have no idea. I've been getting earbuds, but I've gone through three sets at this point. :/ Granted, I buy cheap ass ones because it's all I can afford.

Gotcha...

I have an extra pair of Apple earbuds that came with my iPod. Or I was going to get you a pair of wrap around ones.

Hey, if you've got a spare, I'll take'em! :D

The only thing I can help with is 2, I think, but... ah, I can't classify music at all! DX; S-so, I'll upload one of *my* favorite indies bands (already disbanded, unfortunately) and let you have at them~ Do you mind Japanese music?

Hey, all music is awesome! :D And Japanese music is definitely not minded! :D I don't understand most of it, but it's very pretty and often has awesome beats! Thank you so much! :D

No problem~ Music is awesome and should be shared all the time. :D

Kazoku (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ALYTC2KW), full discography, 213 mb :D

and a few other things that're already uploaded, if you want them:

Babylon - GRAMOROUS 9 Call (http://www.mediafire.com/?i1nyvmvhmej)

Babylon - Suna no Yuutsu (http://www.mediafire.com/?miminoinzuy)

I have most of Babylon's discography, so if you end up liking them, I don't mind uploading it.

Franz Ferdinand (http://www.mediafire.com/?5hrj8ex7mvg) <-- that'd be their first album? Haha, self-titled XD

The Darkness - One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back (http://www.mediafire.com/?h3ztyqq3v8b) <-- album

Ecco the Dolphin - Sounds of Time (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EGZWTYFD)

...okay, and I'll stop now, sorry;; it's easy to get carried away when you're giving music, I guess. XD;

Enjoy! ♥

*That I've already uploaded, rather. Those're all my uploads;; God, I'd kill for an edit button. ;A;

Also, I forgot that I wanted to recommend Tokyo 1k. (東京１K。), Itazura Yuuga (悪戯遊戯), Bye-Bye Lullabye. (バイバイ、ララバイ。), and Night. (Night。) for Kazoku! Those are, by far, my favorite songs from them~ So I think, maybe a good place to start? <3

...I feel awful for just spamming you, but I just realized I forgot the ONE song I seriously had to include!

Secret Love Story - Kishidan (http://www.mediafire.com/?jyrmadulycv)♥

orz;;

I can't do anything right today, I'm sorry! ;A; I hope this works! *completely and totally embarrassed now* =/

Oh wow, thank you so much for the music! *gleefully grabbed it all* The Ecco music is amazing! *listening now*

No problem! Always happy to share~

That Ecco music is probably my favorite mood music ever. I have two more soundtracks from it, actually, but they're not instrumental like that one; just in-game soundtracks. But they're just as good! Should I upload them?

...Actually, it's been so long since I uploaded that, I honestly forgot what was in it. XD It was three folders, right? I was thinking it was just the Sounds of Time... ahh I'm so ditzy today;;

~~I need an edit button so I don't keep spamming threads with these constant corrections XD;;~~

I will see what I can do for #5! E-mail me your address please.

(I wish I could grant you #10, but...)

(Er, that's if you don't mind my having your address. *blush*)

Aw, thank you! *hugs* You know this means you have to post your holiday wishlist! ;) (If you haven't already, orz, have missed so much Flist.)

Well, since you asked... (http://rosehiptea.livejournal.com/454163.html)

I've missed a lot too I'm afraid.

When you say old dolls...do you mean regular sized dolls? Like 12" - 16" tall ones? I have two old dolls from my childhood that are kind of worn down (I cut their hair at one point) but still have some of their clothing. One Prairie girl and the other more Victorian. They just sit in a trunk and I'd like to pass them on instead of throwing them out but they can't compete with the American Girl dolls that everyone wants these days.

Any kind of doll at all, honestly. I restore and mod anything from fashion dolls to American Girl style dolls, and even little 6 inch action figures.

Well I'd be more than happy to send these dolls your way if you'd like. I feel bad for them locked away in my old toy chest and would be very happy to know they were being given new life.

I can absolutely do 1 for you... maybe 3 and 5 depending on how things go.

I might be able to get something done for 1 or 6. 8D Depends on if I have the time and the resources. D:

Aw, thank you! *hugs*

I'll see if I can't help with 2 and 3! Remind me after NaNo's done, yeh?

*hugs*

I can do no.7, any preferences?

Thank you! *hugs* And none at all! I am open to all new yummies!

No problem, I'll see what I can rustle up :)

I've got you on 4 and maybe 5 if I can dig some stuff up. Shoot me your address at visionshadows@gmail[dot]com. :D

Oh wow, thank you so much! *hugs* Addy on the way!

Got it!

What are your fav BPAL and Lush items?

Yay!

Uh...I love the Lovecraft line from BPAL, and pretty much everything from the Sin and Salvation collection. And any bath bomb or bubble bar from LUSH.

Ooh, interesting. I've seen other people work off lines because of what they've meant less how they smell. This is going to be fun. *g*

I might get you 7-foreign candies! Can I add you as friend? :)

Oh that would be lovely, I love candles! And of course! The more the merrier! :D

Edit: And by 'candles' I meant 'candies', but this is what happens when I respond to things as soon as I've woken up! *facepalms*
