I got the cutest little Legolas in the mail, complete with Santa hat! He is just adorable (though I probably shouldn't say that out loud about the elven prince assassin that he is). Thank you so much for sending him to me! Lil' Pip and I have our tickets already for the midnight showing IN ONLY TWO MORE NIGHTS!!!! I think I'm gonna take little Legolas with us!
Remember when you gave me the prompt word "hound" for Trick or Treat in 2009? Well, the trick was that my muse left for Tahiti and left no forwarding address, but I managed after all these years to track it down and now...
TADA!
Here's your TREAT FROM 2009!
One drabble, and one double-drabble, sort of related but not necessarily.
Anybody out there looking forward to The Desolation of Smaug? (That sounds odd, "anticipating" a bit of desolation, doesn't it??) I haven't quite got my head wrapped around the fact that Bard looks a tremendous amount like Will Turner, and how I would've at least given him a full beard or maybe no mustache at all if I was working at character/costume design. Hopefully there'll be enough difference once we get to see him that I'll be straightened out....
Anyway, my friend itstonedme has written a short piece of Bard/Legolas that gives a glimpse into what might be coming up in the near future. I love the way she makes me forget I'm not actually living the story while her words are wrapping me up in the experience of it all.
Take a peek at "The Bowman and The Prince", which you can find here....
I have Hobbit tickets in my hand for the first midnight showing!!! *INSERT MAJOR SQUEE HERE*
Will be spending the night in a sleeping bag on the floor in Pip's college dorm room afterward. At least for one night. Possibly more. Depends on whether or not I can get up from beforementioned floor in the morning while she's out taking an exam. (It's a bit of a stretch for my brain to remember Pip was in elementary school, playing with Barbies and riding in the backseat of the van, when this all began. Now she's a college co-ed and driving my car!)
Very special wishes for a Happy Birthday to my Birthday Twin! I am so lucky to share this day with someone as wonderful as you! Here's a picture for you from my front yard in October of 2011. Hope today is cool and beautiful while you're out tree-trimming!
Here's the only picture I have of my front door--from a couple of years ago when Mrs. Skeleton grew a couple of rose-colored pasties and answered for me!
If you're out trick or treating in the LJ community tonight and would like a treat from me, please stop by and leave a comment! I have limited internet access at the moment, but some writing time, so between the two I hope I can deliver!
(Haven't forgotten those of you who are still waiting for treats from last time--I'm working on those now as well!)
Everybody be safe and have fun! I'll deliver your "Treats" ASAP, probably this weekend or as I can get access to the web--the house I'm staying in said it had internet, but even the wonderful Yes Dear can't get it to work, so I'm at the restaurant typing while my dinner cooks.
Joe has something to say to the Baker of your cake:
"Can I please be in rsharpe's cake? I can jump out and yell "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" really loud. I promise it would really surprise her. Can I please? Please? Please? Please? P.U.H.L.E.E.Z.???"
There are 10 gifts on my userpage that I failed to thank people for. Failed. Failed, Failed, Failed, Failed, Failed, Failed, Failed, Failed, FAILED.
F.A.I.L.E.D.
So (better late than never I hope?), I want to say a big THANK YOU to westbeilschmidt and rsharpe for both the cute little puppies in the wicker chairs AND the adorable baby otters!
Then I need to send another big THANK YOU to karenrae for the yummy holiday cookies!
Aaaaand I also need to say THANK YOU to rsharpe for the cuddly Santa bear, and THANK YOU to itstonedme for the plate of delicious fruit!
Wait, I'm not done! westbeilschmidt needs even MORE THANK YOU's for the beautiful present with the blue bow, the delicious holiday cookies, AND the fruit plate!
Ya'll are too good to me. I really don't deserve it. I'm so sorry to be late and to not have noticed when you first sent them and thanked you properly!
My how you've grown! Now you've gone and made me an auntie! (I refuse to say grandmother yet, because I'm just not ready for that, even in the virtual state of our relationship, dear....)
Lots of birthday picspams or you are going around LJ right now, so I'll add my favorites to the list, starting with this one of you trying to keep up with Graham Norton--oh, boy how he can make you blush!
