Hi! I came back from the family visit yesterday, but was kind of overwhelmed by trying to catch up with stuff right now. I looked over all of skip=600, but would have gone crazy if I attempted commenting on much, so sorry for not really talking to anyone lately! Promise to better myself, this time for real. :"> There's also still Christmas presents that aren't done, and packets and postcards that are not sent off. I FAIL. Also, I still haven't got any concrete plans for New Year's Eve, which sort of sucks, but whatever, I'll just see what comes up. Also, after weeks of stress and a week at home with people around me 24/7, it feels completely weird to be in an empty apartment (nairie is still at luthien82's), with more than a weekend of no real obligations ahead. I thought I'd be glad about it, but it's just strange.

Random: One of the bus drivers on the way back from Düsseldorf was a total dead ringer for Brian Schechter (minus tattoos and piercings, as far as I could see). It was kind of creepy, but he was fun and kept on rambling about irrelevant stuff and making stupid jokes.

Not that random, because everyone's doing it, and we all know Christmas is aaaall about material goods (Tbh, for me it kind of is, as I'm not a Christian, usually lack the feeling for the festivity of the season, and don't care for forced family time, either.) - here's what I got this year: ( God rest ye, merry merchants, may ye make the Yuletide pay )

Last, but not least: Belatedly a very happy birthday to sorchasilver and skylar_muc - may you have a fabulous year ahead of you!

Since I will be on my way to my parents' early tomorrow, and it's not likely that between my WoW-addicted siblings I will get much internet time, this is goodbye until the 28th. *waves* I wish you all some fun, peaceful holidays!



( Or one for the Heroes fans )

P.S. Cards are written, but will be sent out late, sorry. :"> I just didn't get around to it yet.

a) I made icons. Just a few, because my muses are not quite there, but I won't get around to doing any more anytime soon, so might as well post them now. Have a preview:



11 Heroes and 11 SPN all in all, found here

b) Here was supposed to be some out-of-the-ordinary Christmas music, but apparently I've burned most of it on CDs that I need to find first. :| So watch out for it tomorrow.

c) Because I'm the sheepiest sheep ever, ( Stuff my stocking? )

d) Off to work in a moment, and then Earthdawn tonight. Life busy.

First of all, since I'm making this entry public anyway, I want to make an announcement to the people that are expecting Christmas cards from me: You will get them, of course (in fact many of them are already done and lying next to me), but... uhm... they might turn out to be more like mid-January greetings. :"> As most of you know I'm having a few monetary issues at the moment, and I can't afford all that postage. But I will get them out eventually, I swear! Just thought I'd let you know so you don't think I've forgotten you. ♥

Secondly, mostly for me because I want to have them all neatly in one post - the requested ficlets. They're all very short, unbetaed and pretty much just a writing exercise, but feel free to read. ;)

( 'Maybe' - Sawyer/Sayid, 249 words )
( 'Second Chances' - Locke, 159 words )
( 'Who Needs Blue Hair?' - Ginny/Blaise, 153 words )
( 'No Mistakes' - Brian/Justin, 161 words )
( 'Nightmare' - Wallace/Keith, 103 words )
( 'Show Me Your Friends...' - Logan/Veronica, 514 words )

As I said, they were done just for fun and in a matter of minutes, but concrit is of course welcome. :) And if you want to give me more prompts, feel free to do so.
