Here's to another geeky year!
I think this might be the last chance I'll have to legitimately use this icon, so enjoy it while you can. But then, knowing me, I'll probably pull it out sometime in July just because I can.
So anyway. I had a thoroughly awesome New Year's celebration. Rang in 2009 in the best and geekiest way possible, with family, friends, games, music, and way too much cheese. (Oh, cheese, cheese. How I love cheese.) First was game night with my church on New Year's Eve, in which I played Dutch Blitz with a bunch of young friends and drank an ill-advised chocolate raspberry cappuccino and then played hymns on the piano for a half hour while my whole church sang. It's weird to know that I used to get really nervous doing that, playing piano in front of a bunch of people. But I've done it so much that now it really isn't a big deal. I still get a little embarrassed when I mess up (which is often), but I just shrug inwardly and keep going.
New Year's Day, had a get-together with my Thursday gaming group up in Auburn. We had a potluck smorgasbord (I brought pizza from Papa Murphy's) and we talked and laughed and joked, and played Marvel Heroscape, D&D, Rock Band, and Left 4 Dead in four-player co-op in two different rooms. I can now die happy, because I played "Carry on My Wayward Son" on Hard on guitar in Rock Band. Twice. And also sang "Eye of the Tiger". Twice. (Second time on Expert, even!) And yes, yes, I was thinking about Sam and Dean for THE ENTIRE TIME. Got there about one, didn't leave 'til almost midnight. AWESOME DAY.
Today I went and got my oil changed and gave blood. Now, I am going to try to write one of those requested fics every day until I finish them. I have lots of ideas, and I've already started on one of them.
I hope you all have a fantastic year!
