-For my friends, including but not limited to:

Lots of little things:
-The moonlight outside my window tonight,
-The Lambert Wilson CD that I ordered coming in the mail yesterday (God, what a voice the man has!),
-Apple pie and chocolate cake,
-Mom cooking dinner (and finding the corkscrew for the alcohol-free Merlot),
-Dad helping me pull the cork out of said alcohol-free Merlot,
-Merry the Budgie entertaining us with his chatter (he's learned some new words: "Wiseguy" and "Get away!" -- from all the times I've told him to "Get away!" from the door when he tries to sneak out under my arm when I'm changing his water),
-Jude Law making the cover of "People" as the World's Sexiest Man Alive,
-all the books I've read and movies/TV shows I've watched and CDs I've listened to this year, and the folks that produced them....

There's an awful lot more, but it's late and I gotta get some sleep... The Oneiromancer is calling me...

"A.I." RP "Vatican Council" fic: Julien's Story

(I know, it needs a better title... I'll think of one. This is also a chapter from the novel I was attempting to write in a month... I didn't get very far I'm afraid...)
