my dearest comrades, this is the last day of 2010! the last week of the year has been very kind to me indeed :)
1. my birthday was most excellent. i went out for dessert and tron: legacy with the dudes on the 27th, and had dinner with some of my closest pals on the 29th. much fun was had on both occasions, and as usual, i shall share pics shortly :D thank you to EVERYONE who took the time and effort to wish me a happy birthday on lj, twitter and facebook. it means so very much ♥

2. christmas was a quiet affair this year. stayed at home and watched movies, and then had a few buddies come over late at night for tea and games :D had my annual gift exchange with
ava and
spacecowboy310 last night, during which i received some fantastic presents, many of which were, unsurprisingly, owl-themed :P
thanks to

bryoneybrynn,
cacklesthewitch,
elanorelle,
maja_li and
teganscrush for the meaningful christmas cards, heartfelt wishes and fic/artwork. it made me so very happy to see your words and creations, especially since i wasn't able to send out holiday cards or packages myself this year ♥
3. what are your nye plans? what resolutions did you make?
i'll be keeping things low-key tonight. the plan is to cook a meal with
the bf, watch piranha 3d for the lulz, and possibly meet up with our mutual friends for the countdown. i'm used to ushering in the new year with a lot of glitz and glamour, but i'm looking forward to a more muted transition this time around.
as for resolutions, i usually don't make any, but i'm going to try and fix my sleep schedule in the coming year and lead a more active lifestyle *crosses fingers* i reckon it's time to stop being so nocturnal and start boosting my non-existant immune system :D
4. in keeping with new beginnings, i've switched to a new layout!
