It's 2am and I've just finished deciding what to wear to the Perth Cup tomorrow. I had been too busy drinking mojitos at my Grandmother's house with my my Mum, Aunty and The Frog, among others.
So, here I am to say Happy New Year to everyone. I wish I had something really clever to add, but I don't. Just, I hope 2008 is better than 2007 for you all.
Especially
heartofdavid, because apart from all her wonderful advice and the deliciously slashy images she feeds me, I collected my mail today. There were Penguins! 12 of them and one of them was Marc-Andre Fleury!!!! And Mark Recchi (who will always be a Penguin in my heart, even if he's now wearing a Thrashers jersey) and...and...a hockey book (with more Flower) and incredible chocolate. Best. Present. Ever. Hands down.
Seriously, you are one of the world's most amazing people, Naked Squirrel. If everyone had a friend like you, the world would be a much better place.
ETA: The Frog, in her infinite wisdom, outed me as a fanfic writer to my Mum. Then, when Mum asked me about it, made it much worse by giggling and blushing and apologising in such a manner that Mum figured out the smut factor on her own. Go Frog!
Mum's reaction? "I don't care what you write, as long as you're writing. You shouldn't waste a talent like that."
She obviously hasn't been reading my fics. But then, she is my mother, so she's biased.
