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.
-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.

- PROJEKT FUCKING REVOLUTION 9/1/07

- September 2nd, 2007
So, from the beginning...
SATURDAY, SEPT. 1ST
7:30 am - I wake up after only three hours of sleep.
7:34 am - My mom tells me that Chloe and her mom are coming to pick me up at 9:30.
8:30 am - I'm too excited to eat breakfast, so all I have is a huge fucking cup of coffee. Then I call Helena and wake her up. She's not too happy about this, obvs.
9:30 am - Chloe and her mom pick me up and we leave for PROJEKT REVOLUTION.
9:45 to 11:36 am - On the drive there, Chloe and I are really hyper. REALLY hyper. Mainly because her mom gave us a pack of Monster Assault. Note to my friends: Don't give me any energy drink with the words "Explosion", "Assault", or "SUPER MEGA ULTRA CAFFEINE".
11:37 - We arrive at Tinley Park Amphitheater and descend into the teeming masses of Linkin Park fans. We can tell which ones they are because they're wearing every single item of LP merch they own. At once.
12:45 pm - After a long wait, the gates open.
12:52 - Some of the security people inform us that the main stage won't open until 4 pm.
1:07 - We settle down and begin the long wait.
1:12 - I decide to go buy some t-shirts and, while waiting in the endless line for merch, get a call from my friend Ryan (the one who pokes me all the time). He tells me that OMG HE'S AT PR TOOOO, LET'S MEET UP.
1:20 - Ryan finally finds me and I offer to help buy him a shirt. However, he can't decide which shirt he wants so he decides to pick me up (so I can see above the stupid tall people) and have me tell him which shirts they have. When he picks me up, I scream loudly and elbow him in the face. I think Ryan has learned not to pick me up ever again.
2:09 - After over an hour, we are finally at the front of the line. I buy a nice-looking shirt with My Chemical Romance written on it in red, but I found out it was a guy's shirt only AFTER I got it in a size medium. Yay, I have a MCR dress!
2:22 - I go off to get nachos and some water for Chloe and I, as it's insanely hot and we're both getting dehydrated.
2:31 - I have ten dollars left. The food is so fucking expensive. A regular size thing of nachos costs SIX FUCKING DOLLARS. I start to get mad.
2:36 to 3:59 - We sit around and wait. And wait. And wait some more.
4:00 - The main stage opens. Everyone who has wristbands immediately STAMPEDES toward the pit. In order to get a good spot in the pit, everyone's jumping over this little fence thing. I am too short and almost land facedown on the concrete.
4:09 - I start to feel really, really sick from the heat and not eating very much and the lack of water. I meet a nice girl who I think is named Julia, and she hugs me a lot, tells me not to throw up on her, and gives me her Chapstick. Then some other kid gives me a pair of earplugs and I hug him a lot, too. Those people were AMAZING. SRSLY. <3
4:15 - Julien-K come on. My eardrums die from the assault.
(After this point I completely lost track of time.)
After about an hour of industrial electronic noise, they leave and Placebo come on. I decide I like Placebo because they have a song called "Special K" which their lead singer said was "not about breakfast cereal. We don't even have Special K cereal in England. No, no...we drink tea and eat gravel."
Then Placebo leave and HIM come on for an hour or so of complete sucktasticosity. Ville Valo was wearing a Kill Hannah shirt that said "Welcome to Chicago, Motherfucker" on the back. It reminded me of Helena a lot :]
After HIM leave then there was the joy that is TAKING BACK SUNDAY OMG OMG OMG. Adam did NOT take his meds today. At all. There was microphone swinging and crazy dancing and he pointed at me several times because Chloe and I were almost front row.
AND THEN
MCR
MCR
MCR
OMG.
They were seriously fucking amazazzzzingggg. It was completely intense. Gerard had like three feather boas and he was skipping across the stage at one point and there was a overflow of gay-ity. He was also wearing a Texas belt buckle and it made me miss Helena a lot :[
OH AND HE WAS BEING SEXY. TOO SEXY FOR HIS PANTSES. SO SEXY HE HAD TO STICK HIS HAND DOWN HIS PANTSES. :D
More laaaaterrrr.
