santa-hat icon won't go in to default mode for me until December. However, it's time I put the offer out there for anyone else. Got an icon you want a santa-hat put on? Just give me a link.

I have pretty much nothing to do today, so I'm going to be reading "disposition of business assets."

Yeah, i know you are envying me out there.

It felt necessary that you should attend. It’s all that anyone’s been talking about for weeks but something about tonight begs for you to remain at home.

Frantic music forces its way out of the house, infesting the summer air. A waif of a girl hurtles out the door, pushing her way past you. She collapses on all fours and her body convulses as she soils the pristine lawn. The acrid smell of her vomit compels you to enter the party. You can’t even take one last breath to steel yourself.

The house is crammed full of people, most of them strangers. Hung from the ceiling, fairy lights, illuminating tear-stained faces and dilated pupils red, green, yellow.

Hello everyone! This is a final call: Sunday, November 29 (tomorrow!) is the last day to SIGN UP for holiday_ouran's winter/holiday gift exchange.* Gifts in all media, especially fanfiction, are welcome. We have around nine participants right now, but could always use a few more. So if you're not already bogged down with a million other holiday exchanges (or want to be bogged down by one more), the comm would love to have you.

Thanks to everyone who's signed up so far!

*Unless you want to sign up as a backup gifter. We'll take those anytime. But then there's no assurance you'll get a gift, and that's no fun...
