Did someone from Portland send me earrings?

I got a package in the mail today that had two pairs of (absolutely awesome!) earrings in it, but I'm not certain who sent it. It had what looked like what might have been a nametag on the back of it at some point, but it apparently got ripped off before it got here.

My parents just let me know that Dad's side of the family is coming to their house on Christmas Day rather than us going to my aunt's house (formerly my grandparents' house) as we've always done in the past.

I'm going to have internet access on Christmas! All day long! I've never had internet access on Christmas. I've always hidden away in a ( Read more... )

As it is, because I'm driving, I feel obligated to stay for longer in order to justify the almost 30 hours I spend in a car to get ( Read more... )

As I mentioned in my post last night, I'm leaving for Tennessee in a little over 36 hours. I'm driving as usual, though I've made it enough times by this point that I'm not really dreading it like I used to. I mean, yes, it starts getting a little old by the 10 hour mark, but still. Hopefully it won't be that bad ( Read more... )

So, yes, I'm apparently at the point with The Hobbit where it makes me irrationally upset when I see people talking about how they didn't like it or listing the reasons it's a bad movie or whatever. It's... been quite some time since I've been at that stage with any fandom. And, you know, it's not necessarily a good thing. At all.
