Let's start 2017 off in a positive way with a Pay It Forward meme. The first 6 people to comment (and more if I can manage it) will receive a surprise from me at some point in 2017 - anything from a book, a ticket, something home-grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise! It will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy.
(If you don't like surprises and would rather have something off a wishlist and/or some warning, let me know in your comment. The goal is to make you happy.)
If you can, post this in your own journal and pay it forward. Let's do more kind and loving things for each other in 2017, without any reason other than to make each other smile and show that we think of each other.

Date: 2017-01-02 04:32 pm (UTC)i will add that while i like nice surprises like surprise mail, i do not really want material things unless it's books (which i sometimes mail on to someone else to read like a book chain) or something off my wish list (which also says some things specifically not to send me haha)

Date: 2017-01-11 11:23 am (UTC)2016 was, bluntly, hell (come to think, I don't think even Hell would want to claim 2016). With everything going on, and I definitely did not have the spoons to talk about all of the bad on LJ/DW, I lost track of DW almost entirely.
I intend to copy-paste this into my own journal, but since I don't know if you will comment, I'd like to specifically request what you might like as a surprise in 2017. I don't think I've ever said it outright, but you've helped me a lot in various ways over the years we've known each other, and I couldn't point to any one thing, just that you are someone I consider important to me and I wish I'd been in a headspace in 2016 where I could've better kept up, because I definitely neglected our friendship (honestly, I neglected most of mine; I'm amazed more people haven't just written me off entirely).
Anyway. Much love, and this is an awesome idea. :)
