Moving
I'm going to move this journal to dreamwidth. Same username. I know a few of you moved already, so I'll look for you; otherwise, please friend me :) -
Christmas / holiday cards
So at least three people who (occasionally) follow LJ have moved in the past year (plus me - I moved this year, too!) Please email me with your new address if you want a card this year. I'll send my address back :) -

So happy that I slept right through the night last night! Thanks, sedatives, for doing your damn job (finally.) Can we go for two? Dare I suggest even three, so that I am awake for Comic Con?
