Well, if you need people to hang out with, I can drive out to grab you and you can hang out with my family. It is only the Dad's side so it is really small. May not be the most fun, but there will be a tree, food, and some feeling of x-mas if that is what you are looking for!

Ah the DMV. I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that every state employee makes it thier own personal goal to make other peoples lives more difficult. Just remember you can still drive because its only illegal if you get pulled over.

I'd be very tempted to hurt somebody. How did you find out? I found out today I'm not working Christmas (not even on call) for the first time in 6 years? probably more. The days right after, either. I've gotten an invite the last 5 (Canadian) Thanksgivings, but since I work, I've had to say no.. and now that I'm not....... And my time off meshes with the time my friend is going up to his family's area, but whatever... just because they invited me doesn't mean he has to, but it hurts a bit. But, you won't be the only one alone for Christmas. .. unless you can catch a bus or something, or someone can come get you? there still might be hope for you.

Yah, I'm a little stressed about the set.. nowhere near what I was last time. I was afraid they'd set a limit on how many times you could submit, and I really didn't think the last one was very strong, and I didn't like the "clutter", either.. but it was supposed to be "cute".. That particular worry is gone, but I know the lighting's an issue, and I do worry they'll think the more somber one is me wanting to be elsewhere. Of course, the more playful one had a few issues, and whatnot.. *shrug* You never really know what they're in the mood for though? I've looked at some of your thumbnails, and they look like they'd be good sets, but maybe they don't think enough people would think agree. Or the person deciding doesn't like your haircolour. Or who knows what else.. too many things to think about there.

.. what's a penguin humidifier, anyway? What it sounds like?

OH NO THATS HORRIBLE!

anything I can do?

and thanks for the sweetness as usual pumpkin

That is completely lame.
