So, yes. Have a(n) [intensifier of choice] [adjective indicating happiness and/or merriment] [festive occasion of choice]. And - to borrow from a(n) [adjective indicating age and/or widespread familiarity] tale - [entity] [expression for investment of likelihood of goodness] us, everyone.

So, um, yes. Merriment. Happiness. For all of you. Got it?)

You have good taste in music.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I thought so (but then, I would). :)

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! I shamelessly posted this on MQ. Happy Christmas, future person!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Wheeeee! Also, 10 points to you for sidestepping the mimetic abuse of the word 'context'.

And a happy Christmas to you too, not-so-future person. May it be untroubled by Cylons with hats.

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

So far, so good. It's rather piratey, though.

[Somber, monotone expression of vaguely non-menalcholy emotion for your xmas!Snapebot icon, which is ever so much better than mine. Really.]

Yay, holiday madlibs!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Holiday what?

*scampers off to Wikipedia*

Oh, those. Wheee!

Mad Lib Mania!
From the first minutes of Saturnalia, 37 hours ahead of many of you, I'd like to inflict upon you a hot-diggity, so hip you can't see over your own pelvis, Rhododendron Festival. May the trolls who hang around cf_hardcore cease wanking for more than 5 minutes, and may this Wintereenmas bring to loyal members of metaquotes free paid time and extra icons.

So, yes. Have a tricked-out squeegasmic raging fandom debate over the title of the next Potter book. And - to borrow from a shamelessly bastardized by Disney, those unoriginal fucks, tale - the owl says that you'll survive plowing if you move your house to the lee of the stone.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Mmm, rhododendron pie. My favourite holiday treat.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

On an unrelated note, you should probably start waving some authority about in apathy_games. (And if you could give me a copy of the stuff I decided on for Bella, that'd be good: my paper versions seem to have gone slightly missing, and I'd rather not go ransacking my desk unless I need to)

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

I'm aware of that. But NaNo passed, and then I got swamped in work, and then went and quoted my icon, because it was approaching the aforementioned Rhododendron Festival, and so I figured New Years was probably a good time to get back in action.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

*noddles* Good answer. Also, I just found the paper sheet with the 'final' scribbling on it.

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

It also appears that lady_zip/Ingrid will be dropping. She's just finished school and now is facing a big old chunk of Life™, and feels she can't properly commit to this. Woe.

We'll manage.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I'd sort of assumed as much re: new year - it's nice and convenient. Will we have to rearrange the pulp novels or can we just keep them as they are and leave Ingrid as a Non Participant character?

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

Backgrounds are fine. Nothing saying she can't make cameos or deux exes or whatnot. One strength of SOTC (at least in face to face games) is that it's meant to easily accomodate people coming and going randomly without disrupting things.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Indeed. It's shiny like that.

Also, I only just noticed that you're on the FATE list now. Hooray!

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

Merry merry!

>_<

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Augh. Even efw has not sufficiently prepared me for that level of noncommittal brackets.

A(n) [intensifier of choice] [adjective indicating happiness and/or merriment] [festive occasion of choice] to you too.

Re: >_<

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Hey! Those brackets aren't completely noncommital. Just... flexible. Especially if you have odd ideas of festive occasions, like "The Opening of the Seventh Bottle" or something.

Re: >_<

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Hmm. It's true that people don't often wish me a sleepy sleep-in. Alas.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

o/ We wish you a merry sleep-in,
We wish you a merry sleep-in,
We wish you a merry sleep-in
And a pancake breakfast o/

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Pancakes. But I think I've been spending too much time on the internet when pancakes make me think of bunnies.

[fireflyfailure.livejournal.com]

I have a question to ask you about local slang.

Mind if I send you an e-mail tomorrow about it? I'm going to bed now (yaaaay) but it's bothering me.

Oh, and by the by? You still owe me some weirdass fic.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

A question? Iiiinteresting.

Email's fine, or you can just put it in a comment here, or whatever. MY addy's in my userinfo, or ye olde username@lyvejournalle.comme forwarding thingy should work now that I have more paid time.

And... I know. I even have a cunning plan for how to write it, but it's not quite working out as well as I'd hoped yet.
