Ten things make a list. This is a list.

10. It's December! That is...terrifying and amazing and lots of other things, but mostly, it's a huge relief, because I don't have anywhere to go for the rest of the year. Oh, I have a lot of local commitments, parties and appearances and a doll meet-up, but nothing that requires travel. I get to sleep in my own bed, snuggle my cats, and clean

Thomas, who has always been an asshole, has taken his assholing to new heights

My cat, Danger, has added the 'be under your feet, particularly in the dark' meme to this list.

Ouch.

1. My Thanksgiving feast - which was the first time I've had thanksgiving with my parents in over fifteen years - was fantastic. I had 22 people over to my house, and I cooked a massive feast for all of them and everyone said they loved it. Then we took all the leftover pies (I like making pies!) to the local police station, and they were very appreciative. (I think I might take them a lasagne and some garlic bread at Christmastime.)

2. The dog I thought I was going to take for foster ended up being both cat-reactive and dog-aggressive, so he would not be a viable fit for my household of two geriatric cats and another dog, but my boyfriend and I went down to the Humane Society a week ago today and came home with an absolutely darling 2-month-old pit mix puppy. Happy early birthday to me :)

3. My Wicked Girls - Angua, a 7 year old bloodhound mix, and Alannah, the aforementioned puppy - are getting on like gangbusters. A few minutes ago they were playing in the kitchen while I ate lunch; now Alannah is napping in my lap and Angua is

All of these are good things!

I am sewing furiously around working my day job to complete a ballgown in time to wear it on Friday night, because the cosplay group I am a part of is appearing at a fundraiser for children with brain cancer, and they want princesses, and I agreed to be Cinderella. Said ballgown will have 8 yards of silver satin in it by the time I am done. Sewing satin is a pain. But it will be worth it!!

I hope there will be pictures!

[apocalypticbob]

I hope so, too! I'll try my best to at least produce some cellphone selfies.

That wasn't part of the request, because it's never needed to be; I mostly had people who knew me as a person, offline, around here, and so they chose "friends/family" automatically. It's only this most recent run where people have really been choosing "goods/services." :( I can cancel the payment, but the PayPal fee won't be refunded, sadly; it'll just deduct the full amount you paid from my account, which means it costs me about $2 (this is part of buyer protection).

If you feel like tossing me a few bucks I won't say "no," but I also won't get upset if you don't, because this is seriously a "no one in the wrong" situation.

I had the same problem, so I appreciate the clarification. I actually can't send money as friends/family through PayPal (complicated reasons), so is it okay if I send a "booster" payment to make up for the fees (plus a bonus for inconvenience)? I had no idea it worked that way, and I feel terrible about mucking it up like that.

[seanan_mcguire]

Oh, absolutely, and you mucked up nothing.

The deduction was about $2, and whatever you send will have a deduction so $3 should probably make it up.

A friend and I were discussing which comic book characters stay dead, and I brought up the fact that Jean Grey was alive, again, and all was not right with the comic book world.

We ended up realizing that only Spiderman friends and relatives get to stay dead, though I hear Gwen Stacy is alive again.

My Thanksgiving was brightened by the Jurassic World trailer. It is the sequel that we deserved but did not get. I am so looking forward to it.

She's not alive again, she's from a parallel world where she never died. A sad but necessary distinction.
