Ohkawa, you own me a brain!

Instead of sulking about how the new CLAMP shoujo-disguised-as-shounen manga is going to suck big time, I'll resort to the usual brainkiller post. You know me. The usual.

I was gonna go to bed with my blank mind, but nmow I can't. Before that, I downloaded some advanced TRC and HOLiC raw scans, scanned by the noble and generous flowright. A couple of coherent things to say about them.

- The return of the kitsune kid from the ramen cart! *-* And it saved Watanuki, awesome! God, I love this manga!

- No surprises about the true identity of the "secret weapon" of the "bad guys" from TRC. Really, I read in a board some people theorizing about it, and they were right.

OK, that's it. Now to the actual brain damage. Scan by Flowright, but I resized it and compressed it a little. Still big, though.

Christmas-y memes

Everybody wants something, so tell me: what do you want from me? Reply honestly, and then paste this in your journal to see what people want from you.

Don't ask me for something material, I'm too far away from all of you...

And the 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 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.
