Danielle's Holiday Wish List for 2007
So, I've done this before in the past and I thought I'd finally get around to doing it again. I have spotted maybe one other wish list (*waves to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
irana*) and I'm sure to see many more now that I've joined ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
wishlist_2007. (Check the comm's info page for information on the wish list deal.) I've already granted one wish. Care to try and beat me out on who can grant the most wishes? ; )
Either way, here's my wish list.
(1) I want a way to make actual money, not just barely enough to get me by, but an honest-to-goodness means of actually supporting myself and my family. I can't be broke forever, people!
(2) Ronon/Rodney fiction. As nice as I love to write them and as much as I am "getting around to" sexing them up, I probably won't do so anytime soon. I'd love more than anything to read these two in excellent, fucking-like-rabid-animals fiction. Plot would awesome, but hot sex owns.
(3) A holiday card exchange offline. I had so much fun with it last year that I want to do it again. I even want to send out those Valentine cards that I didn't have time to send out earlier this year. That made me sad. : (
(4) Cake. Yummy, yummy cake.
(5) Someone to spend my time with. Everyone's always working or has kids or is married now. Danielle gets lonely, especially when there's something fun I want to share, but don't have anyone around to share it with.
(6) A computer!!!!! I have been employed a year now and still can't afford a computer. Not even a used one to write on in lieu of having the Internet and all of the other whistles.
(7) The ability to write without hesitation. I'm making headway in getting back into the habit of writing and expressing things once more, but I am more or less prone to bottling everything up.
(8) A date with someone I actually like! I'm sick of jerks, so that's why I don't waste my time on them. Where are all of the dorky people like me that aren’t taken, straight, or intimidated by me? : (
(9) Postcards and letters. I miss those. I swear to god, Becca that I'm going to actually send those letters I've been writing for you.
(10) For my mom to be happy and relaxed. We might not get on all of the time and we fight to hurt one another, but there is no denying the amount of stress that she's under. I just wish that she was happy and had the job she needs. It's been more than two years of unemployment for her and we never know if we're going to make it or not. That always drags me down, too.
Okay, so my lists are usually rambly, personal affairs that really can't be solved by other people, but I thought I'd put that out there in the universe. Think of it like a prayer. Heh.
Anyway, I really should be doing something productive right about now.

I think I might be able to grant two. I can write Ronon/Rodney. Click here for two drabbles and see if you think I might do it justice.
As for the second wish - Would you like someone to talk to for #7? A kind of teeny, tiny, writer's group where you bitch about all the things holding you back or making you hesitate so the fears are actualized and input's given?
I kind of would. No one I hang out with now gets that whole writer's angst. I miss my writer friends. : ( (Are you thinking of that writer's cafe on IJ? I like to go and read there.)
And I think I joined writer's cafe but haven't really read anything. I'll check it out.
But I have been thinking that there often isn't a place where you can bitch about having too many ideas, feeling overwhelmed, feeling intimidated by other writers, professional or fanfic etc. So unless you're the type to journal it all out, it stays in your head hindering your ability to appreciate what you are currently able to do.
And I unscreened your comment. And thank you for the squeeing.
I joined it a while back. The posts I checked out made very good points and had excellent advice.
I know exactly what you mean. I'd joina comm like that. It's just be whinging and what have you. : D
Why thank you! I like to be out there in the open with my incoherent babble. = D
So, is that a really community about the whinging?
