dream/s from last night

...or more technically this morning, because I kept half waking up due to sunlight in my eyes (must remember to ask nighttime PAs to close the blinds the other direction) but not really fully surfacing and then bobbing back down for more.

First bit was a layered thing where I was in a bed resting and listening to the tv that was on -- it was a morning talk show type thing, except they were talking about various do's and dont's about manual clitoral stimulation, and then I "woke up" (not really, see above re layers) in one of my old bedrooms that was totally silent and the bed was more comfortable but I wanted to listen to the tv thing so I let myself go back "asleep" (still in the dream)

and then I half woke up for real (sunlight in eyes) and things shifted

to where I was on my back pretending to be asleep in a room full of people that I knew, and I don't know what I was lying on because I was kind of floating and drifting around and stuff, but I kept pretending to be asleep, and sometimes they would address me and ask if I was awake but I just kind of kept pretending so they shrugged and went on with their conversations, and my roommates were there and asked me if I wanted something to eat since they were getting stuff anyway and I kind of wanted to but that would have meant not pretending to be asleep so no. and then at one point I ended up somehow flipped to face down on a beanbag chair that had a plastic something over it, and I remember thinking that I probably should move because of suffocation danger, except that that would give away the fact that I was awake and aware of my surroundings and so I didn't

...and the whole thing kind of feels like a "wake up" clue-by-four from the universe. o.O

I am posting this now because I want to keep 2010 in 2010

...and not have it slop over into 2011. Or something. I don't know.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank muchly those of you who have sent me Awesome Stuff in the mail -- everything from cards to homemade cards to braaaaains to pretty beadedy stuff -- and also apologise muchly. For lo, I have been bad about even acknowledging the stuff I get, much less communicating my appreciation, and that is not really the best behaviour one could expect from a friend. And I haven't even had the with-it-ness to keep things all in one place so I can remind myself who sent stuff, and if I try to list it I know I'll forget people.

So, if you sent me something: please know that I was delighted to get it, even though I kind of sucked about saying anything. <3

Fics!

aka a) Yuletide reveal went live, and b) I went on a drabble spree (for definitions of 'spree' that include two). So!

First, the Yuletide fics!

My assignment fic was The Naming of Cats (Echo Bazaar). I am not as happy as I wanted to be because there is less of a narrative and more of a stringing-bits-together, but hey, with Jack as my protagonist I was lucky to get not killed ;)

My pinch hit fic was Honor and Glory (Oglaf). If you are not familiar with Oglaf, it is a very NSFW comic of awesomeness. The only things you need to make sense of this fic are the following three strips: http://www.oglaf.com/honor/ and http://www.oglaf.com/son-of-kronar/ / http://www.oglaf.com/son-of-kronar/2/

And then the random treat was Oart Of Your World (Little Mermaid), aka I seem to like twisting Disney movies into Not Happy Endings. (I am kind of amused that the person I wrote this for wrote one of the awesome dark!Valdemar fics.)

...and then I did drabbles for whitecollar100 and numb3rs100 because drabbles are awesome \o/
