I sent out the holiday cards for my LJ friends yesterday, so if I told you I'm sending a card and you don't get one by new years, lemme know. There are people who I want to send cards to, but didn't mention they are doing the holiday card thing (like me) and I didn't want to approach anyone individually in case you like me fine as an LJ friend but fear I could be a deranged stalker in real life and wouldn't know how to politely say "you ain't getting my address, you strange fucker." So anyway, if you would like a card from me but haven't given me your addy yet, and don't think I'm a deranged stalker, or are hoping I am, lemme know and I will send one.
And Eeeeee! I got a beautiful Plastic Town card from Abandonada plus a wonderful Bingo ornament she made by hand! It's a little quilt square with some of Bingo's icons copied onto the fabric. It is now a prized possession of mine.(-: Precioussss. And I got a card from Spork with a fantastic drawing of reindeer Fatty wearing THE hat inside! I also got a lovely card from Meli.
And for those who know what my current subject of angst is, yes, I am getting work done on that Tolkien paper now! I think I can have it all done by Monday. And I found out today that the deadline that I feared I acceded and, hence, would end my academic career just short of being an ABD-- because I'm a dork who just had to push my limits--is not so hard and fast. If I can just keep this fire burning under my butt for the next couple of weeks, I will have a lovely new year.
So I went to the midnight showing in DC last night and joined up with the nice folk from TORN's Line Party who I met last week. Many of them were people of my age group, so that was cool for me. The woman next to me had the greatest pair of hobbit slippers that I sooo covet, even though I probably wouldn't wear them anywhere, but I must get me one! (-: I used to run all over the place in medieval clothes and sometimes armour without batting an eye. Now I felt sheepish putting on my green wool cloak in the cold last night. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! (-: However, I did take my Bingo and Frodo action figures in my purse who cuddled up together under the little quilt from Abandonada to watch the movie.(-:
