Idea List

I’d like to start a Christmas Gift (secret) Exchange that is strictly DIY or under ten dollars for the creatively/politically/ alternatively minded folk ( and for those on a budget). Think homemade jewelry, prints, secondhand books, patches, artwork, trinkets, whatever you can make ! If you are interested please email me your name , address, and tumblr link. You can also provide a list of things you’re interested in ( think of artists, bands, favorite authors, social causes, favorite memory,place,story etc anything that you might want to convey to your secret tumblr gift giver).

I’d like to set the deadline at dec 12th so everyone has time to make their gifts and send them out!

For more information/ questions/ suggestions email me @ ms.deannamarie@gmail.com or instant message me: deannatron

Participate! Reblog! Get amped!

sidenote: if anyone wants to be my secret santa, you can email Mikhail at mgarbinsky@gmail.com and he will give you my address!

I quite like the idea. Reblogging, and debating on whether I’ll participate :-)

notes Loneliness is transmittable from person to person, study finds (Washington Post)

Although it may sound counterintuitive, loneliness can spread from one person to another, according to research being released Tuesday that underscores the power of one person’s emotions to affect friends, family and neighbors.

The federally funded analysis of data collected from more than 4,000 people over 10 years found that lonely people increase the chances that someone they know will start to feel alone, and that the solitary feeling can spread one more degree of separation, causing a friend of a friend or even the sibling of a friend to feel desolate.

“Loneliness can be transmitted,” said John T. Cacioppo, a University of Chicago psychologist who led the study being published in the December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “Loneliness is not just the property of an individual. It can be transmitted across people — even people you don’t have direct contact with.”
