In case you were wondering...
Muay thai-fighting, protein powder-eating, gym-going, car-punching, James Bond-loving, "I hate your girly CD and movie collection"-ing guys DO like pretty white cake with rainbow sprinkles on their birthday.
They also like puppies and the movie "Love Actually". Don't let any of them tell you otherwise.

My first chain letter
All right. First of all, I should explain that I have never, in my life, been able to make myself continue a chain letter. Send this to five friends and you'll get free stickers? Nope. That one that's been traveling the world since 1952? Stopped by me. More than once, actually. I think I was the only one in my college class to refuse to participate in the yearbook-style getting to know everyone-type survey that circulated through the inboxes (of course I read everyone else's with some enjoyment).
I'm not sure why, really. There's just something in me that makes me groan, then dig in my heels and refuse to participate. I always feel a little guilty, because the person asking me to be a part of this big paper circle of love is always someone I like, and I hate to disappoint...I just irrationally hate chain letters more.
HOWEVER, Mari, over at MaybeinUtah tagged me in an exercise that despite feeling suspiciously like a chain letter, I feel compelled to attempt.
So here goes.
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
Six random? things about me:
1. I hate chain mail.
2. Whenever I'm sleeping alone in my apartment, I have to check my closet AND under my bed for homicidal maniacs or gremlins or whatever before I can go to sleep. I realize that if they're already in my closet or under my bed, there's not much I can do about it, but still. I'd rather try to catch them off-guard than be lying in bed when they decide to emerge.
3. When I was really small I once stuffed a live frog down the smokestack of a plastic steamboat, thinking he might like to sail it. I became concerned after a while when he didn't jump back out. My dad had to take the boat apart to set him free.
4. If I take a nap during the day, I get sleep paralysis. (my mind wakes up but my body refuses to move -sometimes I can even open my eyes a bit - it's sooo creepy.) I always wonder if that's what it's like to be in a coma. Apparently my mom and all her sisters used to have it too.
5. I have a giant crush on Jamie, from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.
6. I love to eat flavoured Miss Vickies chips with dip, I put hot sauce or pesto on my eggs, and I love to eat dark chocolate with a big glass of orange juice. My boyfriend is constantly asking if I'm pregnant.
And now I must choose some of you to subject to this. Feel absolutely free to ignore the tagging, I promise, I'll understand. And of course, as I can't possibly do exactly what I'm asked, I'm only tagging four of you.

Happiness and cheer
In case you were wondering, so far on my holidays I have:
shopped
attended parties
taught drunk actors how to moonwalk
shopped
fought with drunk actors over a huge box of Toffifee (before deciding I don't like it)
visited a box of TEN three-week-old puppies
hijacked and ate an entire platter of free appetizers at a bar
met my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend
shopped
housed a friend who was snowed in for three days
drove my mom around so SHE could shop
played two games of Hooplah and one of Things in a Box (highly recommended)
and I've seen and hugged more friends than I've seen or hugged since I moved last March.
Not bad for a few days in my hometown.
Oh, and I also received an email from the notorious *Ross. Due to excellent advice from some of my inter-friends and also my mom, I've decided to grant him probationary friend status. It feels really good to let go of two years of hurt and anger. So thanks again to all of you who responded to my previous post.
I hope that all of you are as happy, healthy and surrounded by loved ones this Christmas eve as I am.
