On the twelfth day of Christmas, | My true love sent to me | Twelve lords a-leaping, | Eleven ladies dancing, | Ten pipers piping, | Nine drummers drumming, | Eight maids a-milking, | Seven swans a-swimming, | Six geese a-laying, | Five gold rings, | Four calling birds, | Three French hens, | Two turtle doves, and | A partridge in a pear tree.
I'm flying to meet awesome!L on December 17th so for December my challenge is to post some Christmas/holiday spirit related items each day. I know, posting each day will be a Christmas miracle in and of itself.

Delightful
me: because if we captured the essence of us in novel form?
the world would be a greater place
socal!K: ohhhh..thats why i totally forgot..ma mere..because i thought about it a few months ago too..
we'll blame it on bad timing this year. but yes. we need to brighten the world with our prose
a book of witticisms is what they need
and they'll get it. like it or not bitches
oh hey..speaking of bitches..i was driving home yesterday and looked in my rear view mirror and mischa barton was in the car, with a dog and some guy
she was wearing her hippie headband. that is all.
me: LOL
shut the front door
i wish you'd rolled up next to her so you could comment on her hippie headband
socal!K: she had some tiny dog. it was too tiny - more like a rat. i should have totally done that. papa, paparaaazzi
woah woah woah. this blog you sent me..is this ACTUALLY wil wheaton writing this???
me: ahahah, um parts of it
socal!K: oh god. vomiting. i feel dirty
me: but other parts are from another author
one of the people doing the shirt of the week thing
socal!K: speaking of star trekking...you know, i get all this weird mail from the previous owner of the house and i learned from some mail order catalogue that the color of the onesie that they wore on startrek showed what their role on the rocket ship was, like engineer, science and something
me: ahahah
and you were like, damn, that is good looking
i'd better order one for myself!
socal!K: i was like...good god i'd look nice in mustard yellow polyester
me: who wouldn't?
that's why it's the fabric of the future!
ps i'm eating curry
socal!K: oh jesus
me: and now you remember why our friendship is so pure
socal!K: :O====
lol
me: that was the reason why i prefaced the link
i think the delay was funny though
it's our wonderful balance of sarcasm and wit that makes our chats the stuff of dreams. dreams to be brought to the free reading world
socal!K: well..at least we get it
im sure at least one other person out there would
me: and imagine how pleased they would be to find out about us
socal!K: well really, how could they NOT be pleased?
me: it's true
we are amazing
and sooo modest
socal!K: one of our best qualities, no?
me: right up there with how hot we are
;)
socal!K: YOU KNOW IT
lol
And that's what our novel is gonna be about. Done. Copyrighted. See y'all at Chapters. (*Aside, I happen to like Wil Wheaton and read his blog regularly. I'm also a Trekkie. socal!K....is not.)

W/A Lone wolf
Weekend Assignment #337: Lone Wolf, or Part of the Pack?
Some people are happiest when they're part of a group. They may be leader of the pack, or actively contribute to the group's efforts, or simply hang out with the others for companionship, and any scraps they may get. Other people are more the lone wolf type: the explorers, the loners, given to solitary effort and independent thought. Where do you prefer to function in human society: as part of a group, or your own, or in some combination of the two?
I think that I am some combination of the lone wolf and pack. I enjoy being with friends and family; I love how even if you’ve known someone for a long time you will always learn something new. The interactions in a group encourage me to grow and reconsider my opinions. There are also just some things that are more fun to do in a group: bowling, games, conversation. I also value my down time alone to read, watch TV or movies. I like to do puzzles or go to a restaurant and enjoy a leisurely meal with my book.
Extra Credit: Is there a group with which you're currently affiliated that is especially important to you? What is your relationship with that group?
I have two main groups of friends that make up the bulk of my friendships: those I know through running and those that I know through soccer. I have the same role in both groups: I consider myself to be a facilitator. I will do research for a proposed event and I will organize resources. I can be good at getting the ball rolling on some projects but ultimately I have a problem seeing things through to the end. I am the not best leader because I will be unable to make a firm decision between many options for the group.

W/A Magic Button
Weekend Assignment #336: Magic Button
If you could have a magic button that would do one particular thing for you, up to once a day, what would that function be?
I would have a “tidy the apartment” button. I know that if you keep up with housework then the amount of time you have to put into it decreases dramatically. But I’m not good at picking up my laundry or taking out the recycling. I sometimes will just ignore a section of the apartment until I shake myself out it and go on a major cleaning binge. It would be marvelous to have a button that would sweep like a breeze through the apartment to do the dishes, laundry and bathroom – not to mention the laundry! That would be magical.
Extra Credit: Would your answer to the above change if it were a person doing the task (for free and without complaint, using ordinary human abilities) rather than a magic button?
To some extent it would not, as when I was younger I took for granted that my parents would do much of the general tidying. As my brother and I grew older, we were expected to do assigned household tasks. Laundry then was no problem for me and we had a dishwasher that made doing dishes much easier. But on the whole I was still pretty lazy. If the current scenario were to present itself, I would not accept free labour to clean up after me. I would pay someone to do so if I had room in my budget.
