Because...

So because the Bush admin wanted to delay any attack on Fallujah until after the election, the kidnappings and murders of civillians including probably Ken Bigley went on unchecked?

Tony Blair - this is your fault, too.

The Wishing Meme. It goes to 11.

Step One

- Make a post to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all.

- 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.

I'm sort of mentally tweaking the purpose of the list - it's for Hanukah & for my birthday, which is in mid-January, and it's for all of 2005.

I've been looking through wish lists to see if anyone is requesting any songs that I have, but I haven't seen any so far. Sigh, not enough Finn Bros fans in the fandom? ;)

A few months old.but I just discovered a a take on Frances Hodgeson Burnett's The Secret Garden from the classic canon challenge. Fic is gen, rated G. Just that good.
