THIS IS A FUN AND EXCITING FLAVOR OF NOT WORKING.

Once she gets it, I think I will post Aniko's Christmas card, because it amuses me, despite it being completely ridiculous. It was supposed to be ridiculous. I do not make non-ridiculous holiday cards. Anyone who has ever seen any of my cards knows this.

It is Christmas Eve now! I am so excited! The tree is so pretty, all decorated and now with presents wrapped in pretty paper and with bows on them all under it. If I do not update later today (which, if Aniko does not get her stuff today and does not get online so that I know this, is entirely possible, since the post would just be the card), I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas has fun and gets neat things and good things all around and yes. Incoherency.

I do not have to work tomorrow. I do not plan on leaving the house until Mom begs me into going to church service with her so that she is not all aloooone.


Oh, oh, oh! My brother is home again. YAY! He drove home on Friday, actually. I have just been alternating too much between "inexplicably weepy" and "screaming in fanfic-induced rage at my Brain" to remember to mention that. YOU KNOW, JUST IN CASE ANYONE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT MY BROTHER IS HOME.

I am so lame. I am twenty-one and I am reduced to acting like an eight year old when my younger brother comes back from school. (And why are you happy, Jecca? Is it because your inner child is again waking in anticipation of Christmas? No! It is because my brother is home again!)

(Though, to be fair, the Christmas thing really doesn't hurt.)

Today, he and my father went out and bought a new router, so hopefully it'll work better than our old one and we'll both be able to play FFXI without the internet crashing every ten seconds now. Please note I didn't actually talk about the game here, so I am still being good to my word of not talking about it. And now I'm just talking about not talking about it.


I made a slight, slight edit to the prologue of "Depths." I don't think it's even really noticeable, but apparently the minor detail in question has decided to be important, so I changed it.

Happy "Your Thing"!

Aniko's box (that is, the box I sent to her) arrived today! So I now present to YOU, o people reading this, one of my completely lunatic Christmas Cards. Because Aniko told me I could.

( Merry Christmas? )

I am absurdly proud of how well that came out, considering I do not consider myself a very good artist. (The color is better on the original. I couldn't get it to capture right, but that's close enough, isn't it?) Actually, I rather like all of the cards I made this year. (There was a Transformers: Beast Wars/Kingdom Hearts crossover card that I do not have any excuses for, but which is hilarious in a demented kind of way.)
