themeletorAh, my dears, I want you to know you have made this one of the cheeriest, most spirited Christmases I've had. Mostly thanks to all the festive ficcing, to be honest, but just the general joy, and Christmassiness, that glows around here. Even from those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, there's been kindness and caring and it's really made my holiday. So, in gratitude, I have two things for you. The first is a Christmas Eve story...
About exploding soda.

garnetpalomino: we had exploding soda...
Sounds...fizzy?
garnetpalomino: it's SCARY, that's what it is
garnetpalomino: mum had about 4 boxes of soda in her trunk
garnetpalomino: they froze.
garnetpalomino: they explooded.
garnetpalomino: zo. I had to clean them
garnetpalomino: in the sink
garnetpalomino: one, when it hit the warm water, was like "WHOAH *shoot soda at you*"
garnetpalomino: and I was like "HEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!"
garnetpalomino: and then I got over it.
garnetpalomino: and cleaned all the sodas, and put them in buckets in the kitchen
garnetpalomino: and went into the living room to write the rest of Xmas Eve Day at the Turner-Norringtons, because that's what I've been doing since 1 in the morning
garnetpalomino: and then..... a few minutes later, I swear someone shot a GUN off in the KITCHEN
garnetpalomino: but it was just a soda popping its tab
garnetpalomino: so I was all "*giggle* come lookit the funny soda"..
garnetpalomino: and then ANOTHER one exploded
garnetpalomino: like... BRUTALLY EXPLODED
garnetpalomino: IN MY FACE
garnetpalomino: so I screamed and fell over backwards, which is to be expected.
garnetpalomino: and when I got up, there was, literally, and I am not kidding, diet coke on everything in a 6-foot spherical radius.
garnetpalomino: and I got to clean it up
gosh, you've just been having an interesting time...
garnetpalomino: oh, yes.
Secondly, I have a picture, a preview, and a promise.
The promise: We will be following the Existentialism boys through the holidays, or at least through Christmas Eve Day, because I've been writing that since 1 this morning and don't want it to go to waste.
The picture:
My MSWord "writing desk" and my pretty winamp! Music in the image thanks to D-M.
The preview: See that 'alliwantforxmas' window? Guess what AU sequence that's from. Didn't realize how much of it showed until I looked at the cap myself, but... well it's up, so there ya go.
Happy holidays, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkha, Solstice, Kwanzaa, random day in December... yeah, that. Love you all!

Date: 2004-12-30 09:33 am (UTC)As you know, my holiday has been insane. And now I'm stuck at work trying to catch up on LJ since I'm afraid to go near anything electrical at home...ah well. Hope the storm front passes. At least I'm not in S.SanFrancisco where their new sewage plant failed to do its job. Eww...
