Huh.

Things I just learned, at 11 pm on Christmas Eve: I can't in fact use scissors with this brace, or without the brace with my hands in the state they're in.

Or fold paper.

Or tear tape off the dispenser.

On the other hand, I wrote a total of three full-length yuletide stories and one short piece. So, I mean, somebody's getting presents tomorrow. Just nobody I know IRL.

*squints at presents* I wonder if I can bribe my family to wrap things through the clever application of chocolate.

Oops! Got any gift bags? Or those Christmass-y boxes that don't need wrapping?

Yay for Yuletide, though!

[eruthros]

I managed with a combination of gift bags and conscription :) I just felt really silly, because I should have thought of it earlier!

[olliefree]

Seconding the bags.

I'd wrap them for you! You know. If I were in CA...

[eruthros]

Thanks buddy!

If I were nearby, that would absolutely have been enough to bribe me!

[eruthros]

It doesn't really take a clever application of chocolate, most of the time :)

[fish_echo]

Ack! Scary Doctor Who icon and discussion of nice chocolate! I don't know if I should run and hide or run over and offer to wrap things! *frets*

Oh, chocolate, how are you so awesome!

[eruthros]

Ha! I do sometimes worry about the fact that my only Christmas-themed icon involves EVIL SANTAS. Just, it doesn't always go over well. :)

[fish_echo]

Oh, fruit porn! Nice icon!

Yeah, the scary santas are not so slick... especially when the nice bottle of wine and I have been friends for a bit (which means I'm finding the hokey Whovian villains much scarier. Also, spelling is much trickier!)

It's rather like this icon-- I like it because it means 'awesomeness' to me, so I want to use it at times when there is awesomeness happening. But it also sort of means disappointment and smacking one back into line. And I always know which I mean, but it's not generally clear to those outside my head.

Or which I like because of the text (yes, reading is sexy! For me, more intellectually than physically, but still, reading=goodtimes) and the layout of the shot (and yes, I think reading in bed, if not sexy proper, is at least attractive), gets somewhat skeevy overtones when taken in the context of the skeevy gender dynamics of the show that the image was taken from. So rather than being my general 'sexy reading' or 'sexy' or just 'Fish is happy and this icon makes her smile' I try to limit its use a bit. *sigh* My head is sometimes an odd place.

Anyway, did I have a point?
