I.

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) FRIENDS 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.

II.

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'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.

III.

If you can send me something, PM me and I'll give you my address.

1. Toy Story/Toy Story 2 - For my nephew. He loves Buzz and Woody, but thanks to Disney's vault policy, he hasn't been able to see them.

2. An icon of Luxord and Xigbar that says "So subtle, it's canon."

3. The House that Jack Built. - I've been unable to find it, and attempts to order it off amazon only lead to multiple shipping delays.

4. Xigbar/Luxord fic - What they did with their vacation time during 358/2 Days.

5. An iPod classic, any size. Or any iPod with a searchable menu. Barring that, a Playstation 3.

6. The Futurama Playstation 2 game.

7. Supernatural on DVD

8. The Torchwood soundtrack.

9. Kingdom Hearts Earrings

10. Monk Season 7.

Anybody know of a good fanfic prompt generator?

I feel like writing something hard and quick... For Larxene... Don't ask why.

Edit: And I almost, almost, want to write non-fluffy Xigbar/Demyx which actually incorporates the Demyx is so damn annoying to most of the other members found in the manga element. Almost. It won't happen.

Edit the Second: Scratch both the first parts of this post. I have devious plans that may or may not involve the fanname Orgy XIII. I don't know whether to fear or embrace this idea.

I spent the last two hours designing a pattern for a My Little Nobody and the head is too small and there's something terribly wrong with the neck, but at the moment I like the body so hopefully I'll be able to fix these problems. Tomorrow I'm going to duplicate the pattern and then try to pin the entire thing together in paper to see if I can actually form it into a coherent 3D shape before any fabric is used.

Also, I'll present internet cookies if anyone can correctly guess which My Little Nobody I'm going to be making first. ^.^

Let's see, what have I been doing lately?

I finally have some time off from work, and I still managed to issue very little productivity today. I call it my recuperating time and tomorrow I'll have to try harder.

All my files have been transferred over to my new computer, so now all I need to do is organize everything and get rid of all the unnecessary stuff. I also started working on that Poker Elite music video. As in, I have two clips approximately where I want them to be. Yeah. I'm completely unmotivated today.

On a related note, I don't think that Kingdom Hearts fic I was working on is going to get finished. A small part of me wanted to get back into writing fanfic, and I did manage to get that one out in a few hours one night, but the motivation just isn't there anymore. I don't know if it's because I'm falling out of love with the source material or what's going on, but the point remains that I don't think it's going to get finished. I almost want to make a post with all my unfinished fics just to give them some bit of closure, or something.

Also, its gotten to the point where I refrain from posting on comments that I disagree with, and the world is a better place for it. Pairing support or canon interpretations is nothing to lose friends over, and this is also why I've been avoiding communities recently. Or maybe that's why I haven't been writing fic because of the social awkwardness because there's always going to be someone who disagrees with my interpretation of canon. Oh well.

I think my mom and I are likely to have another Supernatural marathon tonight. At this rate, we'll be caught up in no time.

Edit: I picked up the first of the Sookie Stackhouse vampire mysteries from the library today. I'm kind of hoping it's like crack, or else I'm going to be severely disappointed.

Ugh, I am never eating work food again. When will I learn that it never really agrees with me that well.

My current mantra is "I will not make Organization XIII plushies." Because if I make one, I will likely make all 14. Well, 12 really. There's two that I really wouldn't care if I had them or not.

Also, I'm going to make an Organization XIII tribute, but since I don't know which song to use, I'm going to put my music on shuffle, and the 13th song is the one that I'm going to use, for better or worse. The only songs I'm allowed to skip are radio dramas or the tracks from Michael J. Fox's audio book. Although I do have plans for Roxas and Axel involving a particular speech from a certain Torchwood radio drama. And I'm going to list which songs come up.

I. It's About Life

II. Pink - Please Don't Leave Me

III. Hall Om Mig Nu

IV. All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret

V. Fortune Favors the Brave

VI. Avril Lavigne - Complicated

VII. Our Lady Peace - Made of Steel

VIII. No Matter What

IX. Nickleback -Savin' Me

X. Lady Gaga - Poker Face

XI. Something Corporate - Straw Dog

XII. Unforgivable Sinner

XIII. Josie and the Pussycats - You Don't Know Me

So, there it is. I'm going to do an Organization XIII music video to You Don't Know Me from Josie and the Pussycats. xD

When the shitstorm hits the fan, I hope you always have a friend next to you saying, "Damn, I think we need a bigger umbrella."

So, I have no schedule for next week, because my manager does not yet know what department he's going to need me to work in. See, our main chicken fryer, who's a good friend of mine as well, her ex-husband and the father of her daughter is likely dying, and she may be flying down to Flordia to see him/for the funeral. Apparently he's been in the ICU for two weeks, and they don't think there's anything more they can do for him. So, at the moment, I have no schedule for next week, which means I can't actually make any plans, but I understand perfectly why it has to happen this way.

In other news, another former coworker of mine died last night. She always had problems with anger and depression, and they found her car off the road in the middle of the woods late last night and she was pronounced dead at the scene. She was a friend of my sister's as well, and she was the one who taught me how to make pizzas. My heart goes out to her little boy, as it always sucks to lose a parent.

As a result, I don't think I'm going to be finishing that fic I've been working on.

Ahaha. It really bothers me that I find the fic that took me about seven hours to write disappoints me greatly when held up next to the crack fic I wrote in about twenty minutes. Because then I just feel like a crappy writer. But then I remember I find the first fic really awesome, and I no longer feel so bad.

In other news, I think I'm hooked on Supernatural, and am starting on Season 2. And have been watching Season 5 episodes whenever they finally get uploaded. Which for some reason seems to take forever.

Also, I think I'm going to have to think very hard about the wish list meme, as I don't want to put something up too hastily and then realize I really wanted something else. But, seeing as how I'm off tonight, I really don't have much better to do (except maybe watch Supernatural or Lilo and Stitch), so it might still be posted at some point tonight.

Attempts to play around with Sony Vegas on the new computer have been, interesting to say the least. I'm still trying to figure out how everything works before I officially start in on the music video, but chances are, within a few weeks, we should have a tribute to Organization XIII's poker league elite.

I kind of want to do one of those one sentence challenges since I'm working my way back into fanfic as a extracurricular activity, but I wouldn't know what to claim.

Also, my new Kingdom Hearts head canon involves Xigbar liking to sleep with Luxord because of the extra sleep he can get in the mornings when Luxord's feeling generous with his time abilities.

Title: Sex or poker?
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Characters: Xigbar/Luxord
Word Count: 758
Rating: T
Summary: Xigbar and Luxord needed to find some way to spend the time while waiting for Sora.
Author's Notes: Half of the credit for this ficlet should be rightly given to sparkism. We also decided "So subtle it's canon." needs to be the official Xigbar/Luxord slogan.

(  “Heads for sex, tails for poker?” he asked as he flipped the coin in the air a few times experimentally. )

I maintain Kingdom Hearts makes a lot more sense if you just replace every instance of the word darkness with gay.

Come on, Riku! Accept the darkness in your heart. Go back to the darkness and play Ansem's puppet. xD

I spent a good hour and a half working on Kingdom Hearts fanfic today, and I totally blame sparkism.

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2. Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3. When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favourite character next to it.

1. Kingdom Hearts
2. The Office
3. Lost
4. Supernatural
5. Final Fantasy XII
6. Resident Evil
7. Silent Hill
8. Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
9. Arrested Development
10. Scrubs
11. Frasier
12. Monk
13. House
14. Sword of Truth
15. Saiyuki
16. Card Captor Sakura
17. X/1999
18. Final Fantasy VII
19. Torchwood
20. Harry Potter

For a moment there, I didn't think I was going to make 20.

I want to make a video tribute to the Organization XIII poker league, but I'm having trouble coming up with the final list of members. So, if you have any suggestions as to who was a member of the poker league, leave them here, preferably with some reason as to why.

So far I'm convinced of Luxord, Xigbar, Axel and Larxene.

Thanks!

It's strange, I've only watched one episode of House this season when two years ago I would have been very put out to miss a single new episode. I blame Cameron leaving. I heard the rumors at the beginning of the season and have yet to forgive them for it, especially following so closely on Kutner's demise. I don't like it. My favorite characters always get kicked off the show or have other horrible things happen to them. In other show news, I'm also going to miss tonight's episode of the Office, and that doesn't upset me as much as it used to either. (Except the wedding episode. I was pissed when I missed that one.) I blame Erin. I just can't bring myself to like her, and the show keeps using her because she's an unknown actress and they can afford to pay her. Or something. But I just don't like her all that much for some reason. And don't even get me started on Andy/Erin.

One show I have started watching religiously to make up for those two, however, is Supernatural. I'm almost finished with the first season, and have been watching season 5 episodes whenever they finally get uploaded to CW's website. I think Sunday night might have to be my "Watch new episodes of Supernatural" night. I've also been missing out on Monk all season, but that's not much of a surprise considering I don't have cable and I keep forgetting to schedule time to watch the new episodes online. I think when the second half of the season starts, I might have to do that. I want to see how it ends.

Hero training (as I like to call it) continues to go well. I think I need to get a binder to put my workouts from online and various websites in, just in case I forget how to do something or want to try something new. I like the EA Sports Active, but sometimes it's difficult to get a solid half hour in one day to work out.

In other news, work on the first B.H.C.S. novel continues to go swimmingly, and Serafina and John have taken to nagging me when I neglect working on it for awhile. I suppose they're sick of waiting.

I spend way too much time thinking about Kingdom Hearts, which, as a result, lead to me getting two songs stuck in my head all day at work, neither one of which I knew the words very well to. Which resulted in a good amount of making up "Dee dee da" and wanting to smack my head against the wall.

Tonight at work I also discovered that one of my coworkers fits the definition of a Twimom, despite the fact that he's not a mother. Or a woman. Although the second one is up in the air, and he apparently also had songs that he did not know the words to either, as he kept humming. Which was annoying.

The point is, both of the songs I associate for some reason with Luxord who for some inexplicable reason became my favorite character in Kingdom Hearts sometime during the course of 358 Days. Don't ask me how it happened; I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. Because, seriously, has any Organization XIII member ever actually done less (with the exception of maybe Lexaeus who apparently no one cares about? (This is what I've been told. ~.~))? He's not even at the bottom of the food chain, he's actually about somewhere in the middle, and I never really understood that because when does he do anything? Is it even possible to lose the battle against him in Kingdom Hearts II? Brilliant, let's see who runs out of time sooner when I'm only 20 years older than my opponent. Not a problem at all. Point being, I know he seems rather comfortable in his middle zone position, but how did he even get there in the first place? I have a couple of theories for this. One of which being he temporarily stopped time, beat the shit out of one of the higher members, and when time restarted no one was really sure what was going on and they promoted him just to be safe. This is actually my least favorite of these theories. The second theory was they can't read his poker face and were unsure as to whether or not he was bluffing when he threatened to make them all old and decrepit. Which would probably at the very least amuse Xigbar and warrant a promotion. My final theory goes back to my 'He is clearly sleeping with one of the higher ups' (warning: spoilers for 358 Days in the link) theory. My money is still on Xigbar, as my current belief is that they were involved in some sort of relationship that centered primarily around a game of dominance. Which would be kind of awesome, but ymmv. I have my reasons.

Anyway, the whole point of this is, luzzle_anne, the other song I had stuck in my head all day, was the one you sent me.
