Do my eyes deceive me?? Is Maxie Jones now a brunette?!?!?!?!

It's the start of the week and how am I choosing to celebrate unwind from a long day at work? Mini Kit-Kat bars, tea, and TV. It's honestly the best combination. I'm going to try to ignore the fact that I'll be out of my Hallowe'en Kit-Kat bars in about two minutes when I eat my last one.

A few things to note?

Yuletide assignments are out!!! Even though I offered mine, I was slightly surprised to get it. I was totally set to write something else LOL. No worries though, I've already started thinking about what I'm gonna write... my goal is to be a keener and sketch out an outline by the end of the week. Or. At least sketch out an outline of ANY story by the end of the week.


Lovelys!! xf_santa is up and running; wish lists are being posted! It's so much fun, I'm so excited. I'm so happy to be working with three awesome people, one of whom I already adore dearly. And I'm also totally geeking out because I get to tag every post and create tags for new comers. Don't judge don't judge don't judge.


Also to note, my yearly Scrubs Secret Santa event is up and running at the board. It's starting a little earlier this year so I'm hoping that will make things less hectic for me. I should probably start pimping it throughout the board or something. Kim has already put my banner on the board. Woohoo!

Fox Mulder. He's a dream. Please refer to a previous post. And then take a look at my icon. *Nods*

Oh, the merriment has already begun. How do I know? Well, for one thing, my Starbucks cup was red today and filled with cheery words. Also? All the LJ Secret Santas are up and running! I haven't created my wish lists yet, but these are the communities of gift exchange I'm planning on participating. November and December will be busy for me.

gleefulsanta / A Glee Secret Santa exchange.
gg_santa / A Gilmore Girls Secret Santa exchange should it be up this year.
xf_santa / An X-Files exchange. Because, well, how could I not?
yuletide / An obscure fandom fiction exchange.
just_delicious / An awesome icon community hosts a yearly exchange for their members here.

Also? How awesome is it that xf_bigbang has begun posting week!!!!!

*Bounces up in down in anticipation for devouring all new things*

To cancanlaughs... One of the most darling and wonderful person I've met through this craziness we call fandom. I am extremely grateful to know you and to have your friendship. I'm also grateful that you didn't raise your eyebrows at me when I commented like crazy on your stories and imposed rules for what cannot occur in your Better Days/Together series. I hope your day has been fun-filled and covered with chocolate. Love ya!!

I've had a bad week at work. Not bad because people suck, but bad because people suck. Hopefully next week will be better. Anyway, I've been meaning to make this huge post about my userpics. I made one last year after the fall season and after feeling frustrated with the lack of userpic room I have, I thought it'd be fun to revisit this meme.

My list from last year.

List the top 5 fandoms of your user pic collection with the most icons. Which ones do you use the most? Which ones are your favourite?

( My list from this year... )

Oh, Mulder. How I love thee so. Especially the dozens of emotions conveyed in the eyes and face when Scully is either 1. hurt, 2. missing, 3. dying.

Also, we cannot forget how awesome he is when he yells for her.

"Scully! SCULLY!!! SCULLLYYYY!!!!"
