*flings confetti*
Dec. 13th, 2007 08:40 pmI are done with all my classes! Yay! I have to finish one more paper and turn it in, but I can do that via e-mail and it's not due till Monday. And all my formal finals are over! *boogies* Congrats to all of you who have finished with your semester, and good luck to those of you still struggling with the last few days. Hang in there!
Now, I must turn my attention to Christmas shopping. I've bought everything for everyone except my father, who is absolutely impossible to buy for. Sob. I'll have to hit the mall this weekend to find him some presents, I guess. Orz, malls and Christmas time. Pray for me, good people.
I've finished almost all the holiday cards for those of you who requested one! I sent out the first batch yesterday, and will try and get the rest out within the next couple days. So you can expect your cards relatively soon!
And now, I have a cautionary tale to tell you all. I shall call it Why A Roomful Of Writers Should Not Be Allowed To Do Anything Ever. The setting is, naturally, my creative writing workshop. On the last day of the class, we all bring in stuff for a potluck. It has become traditional for someone to bring in some hot peppers and for most of us to take a turn gulping one down. It's...sort of a hazing ritual, really. But it's fun! In previous years, we have enjoyed watching one another go red in the face, gulp water, and escaped with only slightly scalded mouths. But not this year, I'm afraid. This time, someone had the bright idea to bring in Habenero peppers. Most people elected to take a small nibble of the pepper and sweated copiously. A couple of us, who apparently not too bright, downed a pepper in one bite.
To make a long story short, I am pretty sure we are not allowed to do this anymore. Because, um, quite a few people got sick. As in, vomiting-in-a-trashcan sick. The worst part is, most of us kept eating the damn things even after other people sucsumbed to the pain and begged us not to make the same mistake they had. But nobody listened. So we were all in extreme pain by the end of class, but it did not deter us from discussing the stories and poems we would work this experience into. We are a strange people.
And now, to celebrate my freedom, memes!

daegaer: Comment here and ask me ANYTHING about any fandom I'm involvedin/have been involved in. Controversial or innocent, silly or serious,ask and you'll get my honest opinion on the subject [to the best of myknowledge/ability].
General fandom questions are also allowed, but nothing about actual people IN fandom, please.
Nicked fromlouiselux and vom_marlowe: Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiarwith, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them.Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worldsclashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossoverconversation with no backstory, for fun.
I may not get to this for a few days, as I will probably still be caught up in remaining school stuff and holiday preparation, but I will get to them eventually! Sorry for everyone I have failed to respond to recently, life has just been a little crazy. But soon it shall all be over. Only a couple more days.
