Notes from the front

• Someone just used the word "stunning" in conjunction with Meet the Fockers.
  
• It really is the new year, and I have proof: I had to get a brand new date stamp.
  
• STAMP. STAMPSTAMPSTAMP.
  
• I have lost my stripy socks icon, the one that was previously my default icon. Woe!
  
• I'm very uncomfortable asking for things, but I have no skills, software or time, so: if anyone is bored, maybe you'd like to make me an icon? Whatever pleases you, but what I really secretly want is something with my name on it. If you do, I will say all sorts of nice things about you.
  
• I can justify asking for this because I didn't post a Christmas wishlist of any sort.
  
• No, wait! Justification is unhealthy. Min said so.
  
• I am back at work, and therefore I am dying of hunger even though it's still not lunch time. It's nice to know some things never change.
  
• My list of New Year's Delusions is growing.
  
• I read 133 books last year. Plus a few more that I didn't write about because they were too lame or embarrassing.
  
• FOOOOOOOOOOOD.
  
• Maybe I should think about reading less this year. Maybe I could use that time to do other, more exciting things!
  
• Ha.

Shut UP, Jonathan. You know what? The rest of you shut up too.

(Not that this post has anything to do with TAR.)

Mail call!

While I was gone I got wonderful, lovely cards from bruiseblue, voleuse, crimsonkitty, maitheas, eanja, magwhore, and swedishfrogs. I am so lucky. :)

Also, giddy thank-yous to voleuse for the CD (fabulous songs, as always), maitheas for the very sweet gifties, crimsonkitty for sharing her BPAL booty, and notmonochrome for the OMG so tasty chocolates (which I managed to rescue from the post office today - apparently they arrived the day I left, sadly).

And finally, offscreen, being the artistic and creative genius she is, made this icon for me, after my shameless begging. I cherish it.
