So, as a lot of you probably know by now, there was a massive earthquake in Christchurch yesterday afternoon. A lesser one than the 4 September quake last year, richter scale-wise- but this one was only 5km deep, and not that far from the central city. So, the damage has been absolutely horrific.

2010 in review. Stolen from various people.

Wheeee, posting!

I'm taking a leaf out of purplesparkler's book, and starting up weekly "Things I Love Thursday" posts. Just as a way of focussing on the awesome-happy-sparkly-warmnfuzzy-lalalalasunshine stuff that's goin' down in life- especially considering things have been a little trying of late. Plus, it'll be an excuse to get me posting somewhat regularly ( Read more... )

Ah. Hello.

Life has been less than brilliant of late. So here, dear ones, is a meme.
