First Line Meme

Today is the Day of Non-Productiveness, which wouldn't be a problem on the Friday before Christmas if I weren't a church music director, for whom this is the busiest work week of the year. (SIX SERVICES in TWO DAYS.)

So, help me be useless! I was skimming old LJ entries over on rose_emily and came across this, gakked originally from hyperfocused:

Here are a bunch of first lines from my fic. Drabble away in the comments section for this post! And I would be shocked and appalled with myself if I actually counted the words, so don't bother with exactness in that respect. Oh, and no restrictions on fandom -- change character names / place names around if necessary.

For bonus points, the final line of the drabble should be in haiku form.

( Let's do it again! )

Off to work now... work, where I have wi-fi. And will be checking over here periodically. *bats eyelashes*

Whee!

Yaye! Apparently Omiai won a People's Choice Award over at sv_awardz! Cool!

Thanks to everyone who voted for me! I'm not normally a big awards-for-artistic-endeavour kinda person (it's a long story and involves boring philosophical discussions about music, sad to say) but I like to look at this kind of thing as a wonderful, thoroughly agreed-upon recs list. Go and check it out if you like, and please FB authors. We are a needy horde.

And in other news...

I have the best brother EVER.

Check out what he (and his wife) got me for my birthday!

Only my brother would know how to find the very thing I had no idea I wanted. I might have screamed a little when I opened it.

iykwim and I have plans to rewatch Smiletime and the Muppet Christmas Carol with Angel snugged between us on the couch. Yay!

Card Round-Up

I'm doing this all in one go, so bear with me. *g*

Thanks to everyone who sent me holiday cards! Mine are in the mail and some of them may even arrive before Christmas, though I doubt it. Think of them as 'post-holiday cheer' cards, k?

like_cheap_wine: Hee! Penguins! And oooo, French greeting inside!
mahaliem: Oooooo 3D amazingness! This card has entertained me for days at a time. *loves*
dine: Now that I know we are Angel!puppet twins, this card holds even more meaning. *g*
suzvoy: It's so pretty! I like the colours on your card, yay.
maiaj: You win the 'heaviest paper' and 'most glitter' awards. *hearts* Thank you!
black_siren: The only card that came with knives. Clearly, you win.
yavannauk: The only card that came with John/Rodney fic. You also win. Thanks!
luvmax1: Oh dear, I don't think I sent you a card. *sad* Okay, I will have to do so next year. But thank you!
lapetite_kiki: Thanks! *hugs you back*

I will try to do this as the cards arrive from now on. Really!
