Cupid Bow Mouth

I love Christmas. Always have, and it is my second favorite season ever. It's topped only by summer because when we were kids you got three whole months of do-nothing time to fuck around with. Alas, adulthood has ruined some of my summer joy but not by much because now I spend the weekends wearing minidresses and drinking margaritas on the beach!

Christmas, however, still fills me with the love, only this year it does not. I am SO not in the mood that it's ridiculous. And all this cheap, tochke joy that's run amok on my desk amidst the paper clips and rubber bands? So, not cool. But it's all gifts from the co-workers so I feel obliged to display it all even though I won't be returning the favor of gifting.

*grumble*

Possibly even worse, I am not feeling any fic-ish holiday joy. I am participating in no fandom secret santas, gift exchanges, or the glorious yuletide. I hear that there is Christmas fic running around that I should be reading and yet, I feel nothing.

My Christmas cards are still sitting in a box on my bedroom floor.

I have decided that I'm having a Christmas in July party next Independence Day. I'm sure the Christmas spirit should smack me upside the head by then.

We go live in 17 hours!! Dude, how much can I not wait to be laying poolside with margarita in one hand and a good book in the other. I'm going to the bookstore to pick up something by Caitlin Kiernan, I think. I'm also packing Hogfather.

Despite the fact that I'm sure I won't get ANY work done on it, I'm also bringing the post-NFA Angel fic and the Firefly Bluebeard thing and my notes for CoC Multifandom Challenge.

YAY!! for Mexico!! WOO HOO!!

You guys be good while I'm gone. Don't fight and write me pretty things to read when I get back.

*smooches*

So. Thanks to iamsab I have signed up for holiday fandom giving type things galore. I'm working my way up to doing an actual remix one year. Maybe. But remixes terrify me 'cause what if I get a fic so awesome it's unremixable. That would suck, dude. Major.

Anyway, HOLIDAYS!! It's that most wonderful time of the year and in between hunting for a job that will pay my bills and keep me out of the poor house, I will be partaking in the fandom holdiay joy. So, I've signed up for the following:

Three Ships. Also to be found at 3_ships. Multifandom threesome fic challenge
btvs_santa. Buffy
serenity_santa. Firefly
spacesanta, I caved into the joy of sign-ups and did signed up for another Firefly challenges
The FemSlash Advent Calender. Multifandom

Now that I've gone and signed up, you should too. Give it a go and make someone's holiday season. Yipee!!

Dear Secret Santa!

You rock my socks and not just any old socks. You rock my totally awesome gray knee length socks. Cause, dude, you are way fabulous. I am in serious lust with my new Black&Decker 66-piece drill bit set. I am *so* totally in love it's probably just a little bit disturbing.

Yes, when I opened my gift there was laughter, there were snickers and, maybe, just a little bit o' mockery. But know this, dear Secret Santa, your gift is appreciated. I have been informed that my face lit up and my eyes were all shiny with glee.

Just so you know, I will be installing something this weekend. What? I don't know yet, but something.

Thanks Secret Santa

sincerely

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

Special congrats go to mallyns on her new job.

A great big hug goes out to moonwhip for making it through the week without committing news worthy chaos and mayhem. I promise not to tell anyone about the body in the dumpster.

Good vibes also go out to glossing and jennyo.

Love and a turkey leg to moireach, celebrating the holiday in the UK.

And as Bart Simpson once said: "Good bread. Good meat. Good God, let's eat."
