Hello again world! That was a nice vacation. Best Christmas in years, because I think my family finally gets that my issues.
I also have a NOOK now, which means I am now a part of the eBook scene officially. What I like best about the NOOK is it doesn't force me to read just Barnes and Noble provided books, and has a lending option. I also happened to get a B&N giftcard, so I totally bought myself two of the Princess Series by Jim Hines, because I was kind of intrigued by it. So far The Stepsister Scheme has been a lot of fun and I really want Snow and Talia to make out, because they are basically Cendri's Favorite Femmeslash Type Ever.
And Back to the Future: The Game continues to be amazing.Gangsters are not helping me to not write slash.
December 21 – Future Self. Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead?
Stay calm, know that no matter how bad it gets, it can always get worse.
December 22 – Travel. How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would you like to travel next year?
By plane, train, and automobile! I did a little of each. Flew to Baltimore, took a train to Chicago, and drove to Columbus OH and Akron OH. Out of these, I like trains and planes best. Even though cars are more freedom, my favorite travel is the kind where I'm not worrying about driving.
Next year I plan on going first to Arizona, probably Chicago again for Acen (though, finding accommodations has not happened yet, as my original person I was staying with bailed, so I might have to scratch that out), and who knows after that. Guess I should ask who is willing to let me sleep on their couch/floor and do some planning. XD
December 23 – New Name. Let’s meet again, for the first time. If you could introduce yourself to strangers by another name for just one day, what would it be and why?
Lillian Greene. I dunno, it's one of my favorite aliases.
December 24 Prompt – Everything’s OK. What was the best moment that could serve as proof that everything is going to be alright? And how will you incorporate that discovery into the year ahead?
I knew everything would be alright when I checked my grades and found out that yes, I had indeed graduated. So much of my life has been hung up on that fact, and I had to wait until January, after even going through the graduation ceremony, to find out.
I guess my takeaway from that is to relax and let things happen as they come.
December 25 – Photo. Sift through all the photos of you from the past year. Choose one that best captures you; either who you are, or who you strive to be. Find the shot of you that is worth a thousand words.
Rockstar!
December 26 – Soul Food. What did you eat this year that you will never forget? What went into your mouth & touched your soul?
I've already made a food post, so I'll just direct to it. ALL OF THIS. (or ALL OF THIS for LJ)
And now links:
- A TED talk about how few women leaders there are, and advice for that.
- Math class doodles... to teach math! Um, yes.
- #mooreandme conclusion
- New Zealand based industrial folk
- Videogame without the video: a game based entirely on sound.
And some Yuletide recs, as I've done a little reading:
- A Dance in Iron Shoes (Fairytales, Snow White) So I'm kind of obsessed with reinterpretations of fairytales, Snow White being a favorite to see people rewrite, for reasons I'm not entirely sure why, especially considering her typical pop culture Disney image does nothing for me.
- Honey Pie (Telephone Music Video/Pushing Daisies) Yes, this is a Telephone/Pushing Daisies crossover. It's kind of amazing.
- Some of Jacuzzi Splot's Acquaintances Are More Reluctant To Intrude On A Friendly Outing Than Others (Baccano!) Oh. My. God. So this was my ladyfriend's gift story, and it basically perfectly captures the crazy huge cast of the show, highlighting some of our mutual favorites (Jacuzzi, Nice, Chane, Claire, Isaac, Miria) and just. omg. Yes.
- First, Second, and Third Opinions (Baccano!) A LOVELY Claire/Chane, which was my gift. I love how they integrated some of my other favorite characters. Oh me and my love of semi-romantic psychos.
- Designate: Cindi (Archandroid Album) A lovely Yuletide Madness ficlet for the album that kind of ate my entire brain this year. I love how the write does android emotions.
