A little about me - My name is Rebecca, I am 32 from Long Island, NY, a TV addict, and the LJ user formerly known as lavellebelle.

If you are looking for icons, my icon journal is at belle_icons.

Also, I am trying to make 2009 the year when I read more than ever, and I'm doing that with the help of Paperbackswap.com, a site I HEAVILY recommend you all check out.

So I made up my wishlist for holiday_wishes and I thought I'd share it here as well. If you have one, link me to it! I probably can't do anything that takes money, but I can try for other things!


1. Holiday Cards - I love coming home to a mailbox full of cards during the holiday season! It beats bills! :)

2. Giftcards - The only thing I ever really treat myself to anymore is the movies. Every Friday I like to go, and it does add up. I prefer Regal Cinemas, but AMC Theaters is always great as well! Also, a Target giftcard would be lovely as I do a lot of my grocery shopping there. If we're talking supermarkets, Stop & Shop or Pathmark work wonders! And I'll never turn down an Amazon.com giftcard as well :)

3. Amazon Wishlist. Here is the link to mine. Anything is fine, and used is fine.

4. Paperbackswap.com - This is one of my favorite sites in the world. If you sign up and use me as a reference (I am wrongheaven there) I get a free credit. I usually wind up selling my credits, which is extra money in my pocket, which is extra helfpul. To read about how it works, go here.

5. Stuffed animals - I love them. It's the kid in me (I especially love Care Bears, Snoopys, Garfields and Ziggys, but any are fine)

6. Dart Equipment - I play darts on a league with my Dad (which is great, because I love spending time with him) so any dart equipment would be great. Dart flights are always fun!

7. A job - I am very frustrated not working for so long and tho unemployment does help, I am tired of living like this.

8. Anything owls or elephants.

9. Be kind to Retail Workers - I have worked in Retail for most of my life, and I can tell you - especially this time of the year, they are under a lot of stress and people tend to take their frustrations out on them. These are real people and I wish people would treat them better. Say thank you, write a POSITIVE letter to the company. Ask to speak to the manager and say GOOD things.

10. Use cloth bags - There is so much waste in the world because of plastic bags - cloth bags hold more, are good for the environment and are generally awesome. Please use them.

OK, so there's that! Also, if you haven't filled out my Holiday Card post yet, please do so now :)

This poll is for use in a challenge at jjverse but I really need as many people as possible's input on this please. Please help me promote this poll so I can get a lot of input on it.
