Wow, I can't believe it's already almost christmas again. Time really flies even when you're not having fun.
Anyway I thought I'd do the necessary christmas/season exhange post.

I've been really busy this year, so I haven't really had a lot of time to interact with people and months as a time went between posts and comments. Yet a few of you have ( Read more... )

Pfft.
Of course you're there.
Broke isn't fun...but at least you learn to be very tight with your money.
It's just something small to show how I appreciate you and all that...which I hope you can regard as the token it is.
Ooh Chinese New Year Card. Cool!

$30 is nice.
Though not really helpful as a life saving.
I have to say that since this year is the first tiem I've had a job, I've always been pretty good at saving money.
For the entire time I was in high school I basically got away with only buying myself a new swimsuit every couple of years and the odd family and friend b'day and xmas gifts. There are advantages to not growing since I was 14.
I still fit clothes I bought when I was 10.
Note: this is how you save money when you have none...it really doesn't work if you're out to look fashionable.

Wow, I'm there! Yay for loving friendship! :D Well, since you mentioned it already, I guess getting me into a new fandom (SGA) will make you happy, so yeah, SGA copies are nice and will be very much appreciated.

The only thing that's making me hesitant in sending stuff abroad is that the post office is surrounded by hooligans (I get held-up once, when I went there, lost my wallet and my cell phone), so I have gifts for people that should've been sent a long time ago. But I'll try again and not bring much money or a cellphone. :)

Why is my appreciation of the friendly people so surprising?
*shakes head*
:P
I have something else for you and will send the stargate discs along with it. Umm...I have all that's been released so far, but I don't want to overwhelm you plus if you do appreciate it, it means I have gifts for next year.
I was thinking of either up to the end of season 1 or through most of season 2. Let me know if you have a preference.

*stares in horror*
Your post office surroundings is that bad?
*shudders*
If that happened to me I probably wouldn't go near the place again without a very large escort of friends (you know the large beefy ones or even ones for hire...you know, bouncers).
Any effort that doesn't end up with you in a bad situation will be appreciated.

Are you getting much of a break from work, etc. over xmas?

I knew I had forgotten something...(your post)

By mail you mean real mail? I don't remember giving out my mail address lol ^^;;
(Ask me and I'll give it to you)

What would you like? Shall I draw you a picture and have it printed in A4 and send it off to you? XD (That's the only thing I could think of at the minute) Do you want a ConYuu pic or a Ryoma pic?
It may or may not get sent to you before Xmas (I too, have a lot of stuff to do and am dying over it, but I guess keeping me busy should help make me mainatin on being the saner side 8D otherwise i would start thinking can I do this? How do I get this done, me failure 8D)

PS: I'm honoured to be on your list! ^^ *hugs*

Cool!
...actually I already have Covenants and its sequel. They're uber shiny. Am interested in seeing the author explore more of the world.

Got my mum to get me Hero as a Xmas pressie today when I ran across it in Angus and Robertson's. Seems very intriguing.

As for Brethren...unfortunately I can't find any Australian stores who are selling...I can ship it with Amazon but it generally costs twice the price of the book lesson learned from last year I really enjoy my books with slash...or even just gen (which means gen without romance, which soooo many people do not seem to understand when you are labelling/talking about stories, het romance is still romance and thus not gen darn stupid stupids *cough* Pet peeve/rant. Het romance in novels has been bugging me round the bend recently (female=utter twit, love=bashed over reader's head with a 2x4, romance=utter pain ( ... )

Covenants was awesome, but I couldn't make myself read its sequel. It looked like there was romance in it--was there romance? Because I agree with you about romance in general, especially in my fantasy novels. :(

I hope you like Heroes! I did. :D

Brethren...yeah, is ridiculously hard to buy. Pretty much the only way is to order online, which I did, but if shipping is going to be that insane, I wouldn't do it. Um, maybe someone will sell a used copy you can get somewhere?

No worries about the present--you're way too nice. ♥ Is it going to my school or home address?

Well...from what I remember of it (I read it in one long binge sitting a while ago) there was no actual romance. The sequel lacked some of the flair of the first, but I attributed it mainly to the lack of interaction with Suiden and his platoon. A female character turned up, went away, turned up and went away again (won't give any more detail for fear of spoilers if you ever do read it). There was some attraction but no actual dating/intercourse etc...unless I blocked it out as per my usual...but no. It really wasn't that bad.
(I don't really care about the romance unless it takes over the actual plot and/or the the romance is completely and utterly false/unbelievable/sickening and/or I don't like the female character (for a variety of reasons ( ... )
