I had a wonderful time with my friends who made me get up at 5:30 am so we could escape the pouring, very un-wintery rain. Skiing, snow ball fights, lots of hot spiced wine, I'm totally rocking this being a grown up thing.
Lots of hugs to everyone who sent me happy birthday messages. I've been here for over a year and I never knew that was what people did. It's really lovely =)
Special thanks to
jesseofthenorth and
tcs1121 who sent me yummy V-gifts full of chocolatey love.
divendfly wrote a wonderful fic for one of my
hoodie_time prompts. She didn't even know it was my birthday. It's short and sweet and her John is perfect in that he's gentle and loving without being OOC and there are drive-by Sammy snuggles:
Heal verucasalt123 wrote a super cute oneshot about a week ago in response to my rant about the Teen!chesters With iPods Fics(TM). It features teen!Dean crashing Lillith Fair and getting laid, which is a scenario that for some reason makes me very, very happy:
Baby Just Give Me a Reason Oh and finally,
annartism drew this incredibly sweet illustration for my fic
Walking In a Winter Wonderland, which is so beyond freakin' awesome (the art not the fic. Jeez...) Click on the minipicture and tell her how truly awesome it is. No, seriously, you really need to do that.
