Merry Christmas!

*collapses into bed*

I have been to the mall to bring Kiddo to Santa, and stood in line for over an HOUR.

I have written a Yuletide gift fic. (that makes four!)

I have wrapped and shopped and stood in more lines.

I have eaten Santa's cookie.

It is time for bed.

Merry Christmas!

(or happy Yuletide if you are doing that. I will post links tomorrow)

(or happy Saturday otherwise!)

Christmas LOOT

First, my yuletide gift is so fantabulous! It's long and awesome!

Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam
Jeremiah -- Markus through the years.

I haven't had time to read anything else, and really I need to read that one again (it's 13000 words!) but that's more than enough to flail about. eeeeee!

This is the static page of all the fandoms for browsing purposes while the archive's getting hammered: http://archiveofourown.org/static/collections/yuletide2010/fandoms

I'm intrigued by the fic that's in the short-fic (Yuletide Madness) collection, which is still open for people to write things. This gift-fic doesn't appear to be any of my fandoms (at least not the four from this year), according to the list, so I'm VERY CURIOUS what it is... it's like MYSTERY WRAPPING PAPER and a weird shape that doesn't make any sense! very exciting. *g*

I have a few lovely comments on the ones I wrote. Nothing that's gonna set Yuletide on fire or anything, but that's okay. I hope my official recipient likes hers, since I haven't heard from her yet, but the treats people seemed to enjoy theirs. So, that's all I hope for. (though I'm not sure what it says about me that my best received fic ever has been one about a serial killer!)

For other loot -- my primary gift was a new phone (samsung fascinate). Acc to MrLiz, the guy at Verizon LAUGHED (quietly) when he saw the record of what my last phone is -- "She has... a purple... razr? Still?") The new one wouldn't activate properly, so I have to go into the store. Still, it's very cool. I also got the complete Farscape, some gift certificates, and a new Maleficient ornament to add to my little collection of Maleficient stuff.

I'm also BURIED in Legos. OMG. Kiddo even got a LEGO hand-crank lantern - I guess that's so you can still have light to do Legos by, even during a power failure.
