First, I haven't been online much for the last few days. Ridiculously, not because I was busy -- what with Christmas time and all (there were a couple of family moments, but mostly I was home, celebrating the return of my appetite and ability to drink alcohol. And also, forcing a friend to watch Merlin with me. Heh. That was fun.) but because there was something terribly wrong with my internet connection. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I tried using dial-up but that thing almost gave me a heart attack.

Second, please forgive a poor girl for her cheap, eCard ways. Since real cards aren't an option (because I'm paranoid by nature, not because I think you're all a bunch of maniacs and after you learn my address will swim across oceans in order to rob and murder me) I wanted to send y'all VGifts. Cos VGifts are a bit cooler than eCards. But unfortunately, I mean, fortunately, there are so many people who were so nice to me this year, I'd have to spend more than I have. Or go through my flist and be all, "Okay, this one deserves a paid present, and this one doesn't." But forcing myself to think like that would just make me sad. Maybe next year, my financial situation improves or you'll stop being nice to me. (I hope it won't be the latter.) O.O

Third, thank you to all that wished me happy holidays through a message, an eCard or an email. Thank you, leochi for drawing me a lovely pic and lijahlover for writing me a ficlet. And thank you, dirty_darella for your beautiful H/D card. Also, thank you, marguerite_26 for the fluffy polar bear, nightlo for a cookie, and scrtkpr for some hot chocolate. ♥ And thank you, taradiane for yet more hot chocolate!

And lastly, I saw Twilight yesterday. It's okay, I got drunk first. Which might explain why I left the movies with a crush on Charlie Swan and an urge to ship Charlie/Carlisle. :/

I hope you all had lovely holidays. In this LJ I'm apparently still waiting for Christmas, as I'm still writing advent drabbles. *facepalm*
