Erika's Journal

1. Reply to this post with 'ICONS!', and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

These are the icons drewandian picked me:

( Icons! )

I guess LJ is sending notifications again.... I found my e-mail with almost 300 messages of friends getting snowflake cookies.

Snurched from drewandian.


Step One:
• Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 unlimited 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, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

• If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

• Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ. so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two:
• Surf around your friendslist (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 someone'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.

• You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

• There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Abridged Rules:

1. make a wishlist of any 10 things you want and post it
2. if you see someone else with this meme and want to get them something then go for it

My Holiday Wishlist:

I tried to come up with a list, but it took me ages, because the only things that came to mind were a new house, a car, a good job, more money and success and I don't think those are easily granted, lol. So, here it is, all fandom related. Also, beware that I'm a gen lover, and a hopeless whumper.

1. SGA fic with lots of offworld Shep whump and Rodney friendship
2. SGA fic with team luff and lots of whump spread to all
3. A bleeding Shep with lots and lots of heroic staggering, ending in shock and infirmary team luff
4. Let's not forget Dean whump with blood and heroic staggering and preferable external POV and growing admiration from initial bad opinion. XD
5. Hyporthermic Dean and protective Sam
6. Shep vid with one of the songs from this fanmix (except Johnny Cash as there are plenty of those vids)
7. Very HiRes Wallpapers that are 1680x1050. It's almost impossible finding walls for this screen.
8. Cover art for the fics, either mine or the ones written from prompts in this list (preferably from this list)
9. John Sheppard action figure (bwahahaha).
10. a Joe Flanigan to be delivered in my house for my own personal use, admiriration and drooling. Actually, only his authograph is somewhat acceptable. XD

Taken from squonk79 and sangate.

Rules of the game: grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence AND post these instructions in a comment.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

It so happens that the closest book I have is the course book I teach.

"It rains more in New York than in San Francisco."

It's from the chapter that teaches comparatives, lol.

I wasn't going to do it, but since half of my flist are, here it is.

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.

3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

In no particular order:

01. Stargate Atlantis John Sheppard by timespirt
02. Stargate SG1
03. Doctor Who The 10th Doctor by lupippin
04. Torchwood Captain Jack by timespirt
05. Supernatural Dean by timespirt
06. The Lord of the Rings Aragorn by lupippin
07. Harry Potter
08. Star Wars
09. Star Trek TOS
10. Star Trek reboot
11. Star Trek Voyager
12. Star Trek DS9
13. Farscape John Crichton by timespirt
14. House House by lupippin
15. Psych Shawn Spencer by casdeanlvr4lyf

Okay, I've squeezed my brain and nothing more wants to come out, so'll settle for 15.

I just got icon happy and uploaded a whole bunch of them xD. *squishes lupippin*

35 Most annoying thing people ask me: 'How are you?' because I'm bored of having to repeat a thousand times that 'I'm fine' even when I'm not. But I don't think people would understand if I say 'horrible, I lost my SGA DVDs and my favorite character got killed off by RTD last night'
