So, first things first, I turn 25 on Friday (Nov. 12th). I have plans to go to dinner with my parents and sister. They're taking me to my favorite Chinese place. That's about it. :) A quiet day.

Daniel (the boyfriend) sent me a package. Inside, separately wrapped, were five presents, a letter, and a card. Three were for my birthday and two are for Christmas.

Daniel knows how much I've fallen in love with Doctor Who so he bought me a Sonic Screwdriver toy, the Tenth Doctor action figure, and a teddy bear! And yes, I realize its not technically my birthday yet, I'm impatient, shush! :p

The two Christmas presents (which I'm not allowed to open until December 25th, *pouts*), I'm pretty sure, are PR related. Feeling em, I might be wrong but I'm almost positive the one is a communicator.

A POWER RANGERS COMMUNICATOR!

HOLY SHIT!

The other might be a morpher but I'm not sure what season. From the general feel...I think, POSSIBLY, its one of his MM ones. Again, not too sure though and I don't want to get my hopes up cause I would LOVE an MM morpher.

I honestly don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, they're the perfect gifts for me as they're ALL to my general likes and obsessions. On the other, I've never had a guy go to such lengths to find the perfect gift for me. O.o It feels very...quixotic.



In other news, the Crossing Over Awards winners have been announced. Tales from Atlantis won Best Comedy by over a 100 votes and came in second place for Best Crossover overall and came in third for Best Stargate Crossover. Second Verse, Same as the First, came in fifth for Best Stargate Cross. They also announced the top nominated authors and I tied with another author for sixth place, with 15 nominations. I'm ecstatic about all this! :)

So far, my birthday week is off to a great start!

The Crossing Over Awards is currently in the voting phase. The first round is done and of my five nominations, The Note did not make the short-list for Best Non-Buffy Cross and Dusting Duo didn't make the shortlist for Best Sci-Fi/TV Cross. Tales from Atlantis, however, made the short-list for Best Stargate Cross and Best Comedy, and Second Verse, Same as the First made the short-list for Best Stargate Cross as well, which means of the five finalists, I have two fics in there!

It was an honor to be nominated at all so yay! But I don't think I'll win or even make the top 3 for the three I passed through, as I personally LOVE the other nominees and think they're ten times better. :)

I GOT JUDGES FAVORITE IN THE PATIENT PRESS POETRY CONTEST!!!!!!!!!

Over on Twisting the Hellmouth, the 2010 Crossing Over Awards are now accepting nominations. As always, I'm encouraging my readers to go nominate and I figured, if anyone on my flists are on over there too, I should encourage here as well.

Here is the list of categories.

Here is the nominations page.


Looking over the categories, I could, conceivably, be nominated in I think 3 categories, possibly one or two more. I guess we'll see. :D
