LiveJournal Tarot Cards Outer Arcana sparksol Something obvious yet undefinable, on a background of a purple nebula. This is because every time you look, it's something else that is somehow the same. Divinatory Meanings: An uncertainly ominous card. It symbolizes internal mental change of various sorts, perhaps of a drastic nature. It may not be immediately noticiable to others, however. Reversed: There is external change that is notable to others, but it is only a mask. On the inside, everything is as it already was. Related Extras: Related to Fire Dragon in oriental astrology, Cancer in European astrology, the Moon, and anything involving unreality.

Xmas Wishlist
Step One

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 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, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (or friends friends, 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.


I don't know if I can come up with ten things I really, truly want. I'll give it a shot.

1. A purpose.
2. The will to do things.
3. To win a big lottery. Seriously, I don't think I'll make it otherwise, my people skills are so pathetic.
4. My friends to be safe, even the ones I've not met.
5. To meet the friends I haven't, just for a while.
6. A vehicle that won't break down. (If it's the Epoch or a Tardis, so much the better.)
7. I want to know reality's rules, so I can cheat.
8. I want to know the things I'm doing won't be useless in the end.
9. I want that last fortune cookie fortune to be true, at least for a while. ("Unlimited power and wisdom"...heh.)
10. ...*mumble, mumble*

Okay, these are pretty hopeless, but these are things I really, truely want. Sure, I could've asked for things like a DS, a new computer (that works), any of a number of video games or books, but unless I get the first one (or two) on my list, everything else is just passing the time until time passes me. I mean i, I'm running solely on inertia at this point, and I'm starting to slow down. Still, if people really want to know...here. This is a list of what I have...somewheres around here.

AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

You're a villain!

...though you prefer to think of yourself as misunderstood. You know the world would be a better place if they'd only let you be in charge of it, and if they don't appreciate your genius by themselves you're willing to make them. You've got good hair, a secret base and an ambivalent relationship with the bishounen hero. You've got the money, the women, the best mecha and your own private army, but you still lose in the end to some jumped-up kid with spiky hair. There is no justice. Which generic anime character are you?

Hmm...yes, one day I will rule this world. But only for one day, I think it'd get annoying after that.




I'm a O65-C13-E5-A32-N32 Big Five!!

If there is at least one person in your life who you consider a close friend, and who you would not have met without being part of an online fandom, post this sentence in your journal.
Okay, I haven't actually met any of them face-to-face... but even so.
