Onward and upward!

[snapdragon76]

Well, I'm feeling much better today than I have for the past few days. Maybe it was some sort of 24-48 hour stomach bug or something. *shrugs* Anyway, let's just say, I never want to go through with that again.

I have to go to my grandma's house and put up her Christmas Tree for her which is always time consuming. But if I don't do it, it never gets done. I think she tends to take advantage of me a bit. Like doing stuff like this and taking her to her volunteering thing on Thursdays. I mean, I don't mind doing it on occasion, but she has this tendancy to assume I have nothing better to do than to cart her someplace at a moment's notice. Beleive it or not, I do have stuff I do during the day, and when it comes time for me to be employed again, I'll have even less time. But I know she does the same with mom, so I don't feel singled out. Like for instance, she wanted to drop off my aunt's birthday gift today since it happens to be her actual birthday. Mom said that my aunt is pretty busy with stuff, and probably wouldn't be home. Then my grandma suggested that maybe on Thursday, after (or before) her volunteering gig. Mom basically said the same thing and that it wouldn't be a big deal if she had to wait until Saturday to drop the gift off. I've not always gotten gifts on the exact date of my birthday. But grandma's a little anal that way. I told her that today, I'd set the time for when I was coming over and I'm going to reitterate that on Thursdays, I'll only take her to the volunteering thing, every other week, not every week. Sorry, but that's the way it is. There are times when you just have to put your foot down.

I started doing some of my cards last night. So far I have finished:

poeticdeathofme
flamika
elvenmoon

dracschick is next on my list. For the one's I've finished. all I basically have to do is stamp them, return address them, seal them and mail them. But, before I can do that, I have to make sure I have enough stamps as well as make some return address labels so I don't have to write out all of them.

OK, since there are others doing this, I'll do it too:

My Christmas Wish List:

Furuba volume 18 -- I know it's still in Japanese, but that didn't stop me from buying 16 and 17. And this one has the sqee-able chapter of 106!!

Hot Gimmick volumes 11 and 12 -- again in Japanese, but I still want to look at the pretty pictures, especially since we won't be getting these for quite some time... *grumbles at Viz*

Madonna's new CD, Confessions on a Dance Floor -- yes, I've been outed as a closeted Madonna fan, I'm not ashamed.

a cell phone strap for my phone -- simple, yes. I don't care though. I'd like a Furuba one, but I can take a Tigger or a Tinkerbell or something like that.

This is one of those things where if you think you can help with, than you can, but if not, don't worry about it. My Christmas is gonna be fairly slim this year (on both sides), but I'm still grateful what what I do have, anyway... my friends and my family, my health, a roof over my head (even if it isn't ours), and food to eat.

*hugs* I'm glad your feeling better!

AHH! MARS icon, W00T! ^^

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Howsabout this one then, eh? Sums everything up perfectly, I think.

And I'm in the middle of rereading it. *sighs* Rei's so dreamy...

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

Ooooh . . . *droools*

Isn't he? I love Mars, it was the first shoujo series that I read in over three years (I had sworn off shoujo). ^^ Mmmm.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, baby... *swoon*

Now you know why I have him in my bishie closet... along with Kyohei and Kureno.

He he he heeeee...

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

Indeed I do! ^^

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I may let you borrow 'em, sometime... if I'm feeling generous and you're willing to return them relatively unscathed.

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

I might take you up on that offer. Depends on what everyone in my harem says. ^^

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Ohh, one thing, however. You have to leave the handcuffs on 'em...

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

*blinks and then snorts her water* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Deal!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Good! I'll contact you later to negotiate. ~_^

Just... be gentle with them.

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

I"m ALWAYS gentle!

Harem: LIAR!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahahaaaaa!!

Well,I just don't wantthem too bruised. I wantto be able to play with them again myself.

...

And just how much innuendo can we get away with? ~_^

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

I'd say we could get away with a LOT of innuende of we put our minds to it. ^^

And I promise not to bruise them too much, though that means I'll have to put my spurs away.

Harem: O_o

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

*snort*

Yes, yes. No spurs. Whips are OK, though. Just don't leave any visible marks...

Bishies: T_T

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

*waggles eyebrows* Deal!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

OK, boys. You be good for Miss Alyson and I'll treat you to something really special when you get back!! ~_^

And no, Kyohei. I don't have anymore strawberry Pop-Tarts...

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wanna borrow my group and make it a fair trade? ^_^

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

*ponders*

Who's in your harem?

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

Some psychos, some cool guys.

Let's see, Vash, Enishi, Van from Esca, The SDK group (though they tend to make the rounds), Sesshoumaru, Aoshi, Touga from Utena, saitou from Kenshin, Kyo from FB, Tasuki, Kusanagi from Blue Seed, Gourry and sometimes Zel, Orphen *brian fizzles*

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

that should be brain.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, not a bad list...

Lesse, I'll take Vash, Enishi, the majority of the SDK group, Fluffy, Aoshi (yum), Saitou (although it's weird seeing him in KH after seeing him in RK), Kyo, Tasuki, Gourry and definitely Zel...

*rubs hands together and chuckles sinisterly*

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

Guys: T_T B-but!!!

No buts, it's a fair trade. She'll take care of ya'll. *gentle smile*

Guys: *gulp*

Isn't it strange seeing him in KH? And I've also run into him in Peacekeeper Kurogane (and he's HYSTARICAL in it) and I'm like, So many saitou's!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

*drags them away under protest*

Ahh, quit yer whinin'! I'll not be rough on ya... much.

I've never read PK.

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Bye guys! *waves*

Guys: T_T

I've only read the first volume and it's pretty good. I'm reserving judgement, though, till I get further into the story.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

*looks at size of box* I think we're getting squeezed...

*shoves bishies in closet*

I'll get the handcuffs on 'em later...

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

They should behave themselves without them, because they KNOW what'll happen if they don't.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

What makes you think they'd be used because they were bad?

And I think that's just about the raunchiest thing I've said...

*smacks self*

[zelamenomiko.livejournal.com]

*cackle* You do well, oh grasshopper! ^^

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

*bows respectfully*

I learned from the best...
