I run as fast as I can run

*taps on glass* Hello? Anyone out there? I feel very alone...

A little over two hours to finish my Advent fic for tomorrow, and I think I'm going to be able to do that. Cheating for the 20th, I'm going to do a little fanmix with a song for every pairing I've written this month. (Some are very silly.)

Tomorrow I have to ring bells. I'm not sure from when to when; we're supposed to get slammed with snow, so even if I'm indoors, there's still a chance of an early end to the evening due to bad roads. At least I didn't have to do it for most of the season! :D

I got my dad one of those super-soft robes from Bath and Body Works, and I wrapped it up in a Victoria's Secret bag. I crossed out Victoria's and wrote in Dad's. xD I think I'm hilarious, and apparently I am the only person alive who thinks so.

My plans to be in Plattsburgh for New Year's have been dashed. First we're going to New Bedford (meh), then we're going to Maine (meh again, except it'll be good to see Poppy), and THEN I'll get dropped off there on the way back through and I can take the train home. Which is okay, but the point was to be there for New Year's Eve so I could see everyone (or mostly everyone) in one place. :/ Oh well. As long as I make it there, I can't complain.

For some reason, my tattoos itch. What the fuck. Okay, I'm going to write. Yep. This is officially knocking the Claude/Noah/Sandra fic out of highest word count, too. Mylar makes my toes curl. xD

The good thing about the internet is, there's always someone around.

What kind of bells? Giant church bells? Little silver bells? That kind of sounds like fun. I admire anyone who can do something musical like that.

You're lucky to have snow. There's usually only rain here.

I think the 'Dad's secret' gag is funny too.

Yay for giant Mylar fic! Something to look forward to, thank you.

I don't know who you are, anon, but you made me smile, so thank you. :D

Ringing bells like this:


It's a fundraising thing, I don't know if you've seen people doing this (hell, I'm not even sure if it's an American thing or a worldwide one), but it's the main way each individual corps (church) makes money. It's a nonprofit organization, so running on donations as much as possible is what everyone needs to do... and with the economy tanking, more people are going to need help this upcoming year.

You can have the snow, I'll take the rain. Okay? :D

Give it another hour, I'm finishing it up (or them off, whichever) and it's looking like it'll hit over 5100 words. Holy crap.

Hello, I am out there - it is is 3.46am, wtf, and I have a train to catch in the morning - and you reminded me that I do not own a dressing gown. Well, I do, it is a crappy £6 creation from Primark that not only looks silly on me, but looks really silly on my gentleman friend, who occasionally uses it when it's the middle of the night and he's staying at mine. (He's six foot. The dressing gown is not. It's kind of obscene.)

So I decided just now to poke around, and I discovered in my cupboard a beautiful white cotton dressing gown, that was bought in Disneyland Paris in 1997 that I still haven't grown into. I'll look silly in it, he'll look silly in it, the problem is all solved.

...er, that was remarkably unecessary. Er, you did a good deed? I'll shut up now.

Actually, you just handed me a perfect situation to use this icon. xD

Get some sleep! Unless you're planning on getting it on the train. I can never sleep very well on trains, but I don't take them very often.
