This LJ will now be mostly friends only ALMOST ALL posts are now locked.

This doesn't mean I'm not interested in making new friends - I am! - but I don't automatically friend people back who just randomly friend me. I'm a fairly private person and as well as the fandom rambling there's a lot of RL and other stuff here. So if you'd like to friend me and think we have stuff in common/would get along, leave a comment here and say hello =)

Thanks =)

As promised, some Christmas decoration photos. As I said before, my brother decided there'd be no tree this year even though it's my flat, dammit although he did decide to decorate the plant/tree I have in my lounge. Which... turned out pretty damn good actually =)

I'll just say... I'm crap at taking photos and although these may look pretty, the lounge and the decorations actually look way prettier than the pictures I managed to take. Which is all my fault as my camera is actually awesome.

*hugs all*

More birthday goodies arrived for me today! bookwormprinces - thank you so, so much for your lovely card, it really made me smile and it was lovely of you to take the time to send one =) *hugs*

( Goodies photos =) )

It's been a tough week at work and I have had to put up with quite a bit of crap that I really shouldn't have to listen to. But whatever - tonight I'm going to do absolutely nothing but watch some Merlin and whatever else I fancy and eat my comfort dinner of mash & peas because like I said - it's been that kind of week.

*hugs all*

This batch even includes a few attempts with plain text which as you know is something I've whined about not really knowing how to do! I'm going to try and include some more fandomy ones next time - bit worried that the ones I do right now might be a bit boring for some - so yeah, an attempt at a few fandomy ones next I think =)

1. It's the first of frickin December (how the hell did that happen?!) and OMG I'm loving this cold weather! Yes yes yes *nods and points to self* I'm a freak =)

2. My brother is insistent I catch up on Heroes even though I pretty much stopped after watching maybe 4 or 5 episodes of this season. *sighs* So I've promised to catch up this week before making an informed decision as to whether I really do want to give up on it. Yet I can't even get excited about the idea of seeing those episodes. Still, I promised so I guess I'd better do it...

3.( Disguises! )

4. This week I promise to catch up on my vid-watching/feedback/reccing *ignores your snorts of laughter* and also make some pretty shiny icons. Oh yes, I do.

5. Will be putting up our Christmas decs this weekend although the brother has decided there'll be no tree - dammit - so we'll see how that turns out. Either way, I may post pretty Hotel Muppet Christmassy pics for you all =)

6. I'm working on a January version of the Timetable of Doom right now, so if I appear more batshit crazy than normal that will be why. But honestly, how will you be able to tell the difference anyway?

*hugs all*

I managed to get all the cards written this week without completely cramping up my hand so yay me =) Please check the list below - if your name is on here, your card will be posted over the next day or two. If your name is missing and should be on here because your address is on the postal addresses post then poke me. Hard. Also - if you've made a late decision that you do in fact want a card after all *lol* then let me know before the weekend is out and remember to add your address to the above post - no problem at all as I have a few left =)

Phew.

( 42 cards a postin' )

Hope I've made sense!

Kawoosh! stuff - The 80's Music challenge is now running over at the Kawoosh! forum - entries need to be in by Sunday 19th December so plenty of time for you to dig out your favourite cheesetastic 80's music and go vid to it!

---

SPN Sceneit stuff - Those of us in the team that run spn_sceneit are excited to announce that we now have a sister site: spnvidrecs.

It's a wonderful SPN vid recc'ing community that has been around for a while. The site has been graciously handed over to us and we hope to revitalize it and increase the number of recs made to the comm.

Check out the new profile for further info regarding the community.

Me stuff - Might as well pimp me too, right? Um... okay then... all my videos and icons are now on paper_packages. Wanted to put the videos there so that they're all in one place and easily accessible if anyone should want to see them, then added my icon posts too purely so everything I've 'made' is now all in one place. Anyway - if you like what you see then JOIN here - up to you - and of course, feel free to pimp me if you think anyone else might be remotely interested =)

Thanks for your time =)

I would just like to say a huge thank you to all of you who've done LJ birthday posts for me today, sent LJ messages, sent cards, bought me an LJ gift, sent squee-filled emails and also sent amazing packages in the post (extra hugs to aruna7, from_the_corner & sue91 for these) - I've had a wonderful birthday so far and you guys have made it even better - thank you so, so much! You're all made of wonderful kinds of awesome and consider yourselves hugged and then hugged some more - I'd even share my cake with you... if I had any left! =D

( Goodies! )

And now I'm off out for dinner at Urban Beach with Emma... followed by much drinking!

*heffa hugs you all*

If you'd like a holiday card *pokes you for the last time* please go add your address to the postal addresses post and you shall receive - last call as I'm getting them tomorrow =)

And because I was browsing through my LJ looking for something - got distracted and found this instead...

( Who comments the most on this journal? )

I had more interestingother things to talk about but I'm busy playing with comms and uploading and tweaking things right now =) Hope you all have a lovely weekend *big hugs*
