I don't mind the new update journal page.

Happy birthday to me, folks! I got a blender and some gift certificates and a game of Monopoly from my family, and from fangirls I got snow kisses and MORE snow kisses and OTP picspam and a Santa-fied Fraser icon and good wishes, and there was lots of family and rummy playing and a German chocolate cake. But the very best present I got this year? My grades for this quarter, the quarter I dreaded and hated and have been putting behind me already and stop panicking? B+, B, B-, nice solid 3.0 GPA to grow on and improve for the next quarters. YAYS.

For my birthday day, I shall say nice things about thefourthvine. I can't imagine how any of you cannot be reading her already, but if you're not: go over and check out her journal, because TFV runs my favorite rec journal ever. My fandoms don't overlap with hers, totally (though I squee when I see DS recs slipping through), but she writes the sort of rec entries that are totally full and satisfying pieces of writing in and of themselves. Really, the links to the great stories is practically icing on the cake, sometimes.

Don't tell aerye, you guys, but due south seekrit santa stories are due THIS SUNDAY OMG WHYYYYYYYYYY. *flails slightly* Dear brain, please learn to organize your deadlines better, thank you, love me.

That's still plenty of time to write something that I'll like, and that I think my recipient will like, but I kind of have a choice between writing something easy and something that's more of a stretch, and I'd really like to make myself do the latter. Hmm.

Also this weekend: meeting liviapenn and ficbyzee for my birthday celebration, aka drunken sentinel night. LJ, please advise: most of my drinking has been on the level of frozen daiquiris, wine coolers, and hard lemonade, and I haven't gotten at all accustomed to the actual taste of alcohol. What would you recommend in the "super-girly or tasty" range to facilitate the getting smashed for proper appreciation of Jim and Blair? Not needing a blender is a plus.
