HELLO! I'm still alive!

I've had a lovely Christmas. I got lots of jumpers and books which I am happy about as I was almost jumperless before. I wasn't bookless before but you can never have enough books. I got The Sandman: Brief Lives by the lovely Neil Gaiman and The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins amongst others. I think I'm feeling a bit better now. I've got a permanently blocked nose and I'm getting a cough, but at least I don't feel the need to sleep all the time. Whether this is because I've done hardly anything for the past week, I don't know.

blackgarden, I got your card on Christmas eve - thanks! Also, I've got this lovely santahattified icon from one_day_iris. Yay for cute puppies.

Speaking of cute puppies, I've not been about much because I've become addicted to Sims2. I blame blacksatinrose completely for this. Her posts about her Sims led me to break out my own Maurauder era game again. Sirius and Remus had their first kiss with each other today - it was very cute. In other news, Peter's mother brought a friend home from work one night and I predict that soon Peter will have two mummies - I had nothing to do with it, I swear.

I love my Remus sim. He's got a lovely green jumper and some fabulous scars. It's weird - I know book canon Remus doesn't have scars on his face but I just love the idea of him being physically scarred like in the film. It gives him more scope for angsting I suppose!
