today can go away now.

[marguerite_26]

so... apparently cars need brakes. especially when driving on highways.

yeah. good to know.

today was NOT a good day.

(and before I freak anyone out - I'm fine, the family is FINE. The car is not.)

I did, however, get 75% of my Christmas shopping done before car decided brakes were optional.

HI HI! How was everyone else's day?

ALSO:




ALSO II:
faithwood's is doing a holidays fest Harry/Draco rec signal boost thingy - sort of a one stop shop for what Harry/Draco fics are being recced this season. (which is super cool if you feel like you have no reccers on your flist, or if you are a reccer with not many H/D readers on your flist).

ALSO III:
since lj is being wonky, i'm keeping a list on DW of direct links to hd_holidays fics that are hosted off-lj. just in case I'm ever in the mood to read and lj is being a bitch.

Oh no!!! That is not good! Glad you and your family are okay.

I worked today and it was a great busy day. Loved it. Just what I needed - to be around people. ;)

thank you for easing our concerns for your welfare with that scorching image of Bradley in all his bare and beautiful awesomeness which could hardly be helping your heart rate return to normal

Oh no BOO to the car not being fine! Glad you're ok, though. 'decided brakes were optional' - really, the ideas these things get up to! You must have gotten such a fright.

Brakes are helpful.
Glad to hear you're A'OK!

Last winter my mom had the same thing happen to her. She had a gut feeling to leave work early, since a serious snow storm was just starting. She found out quickly her brakes weren't working. We learned later all 4 brake lines rusted out and the brake fluid had completely drained out. I still don't know how made it home without an accident (she tells me it involved a lot of shifting down to a lower gear). She even managed to back the car into the driveway.

Merlin Holidays!! \o/
CAN'T WAIT.

God, I need that pic of Arthur/Bradley from that banner made in to a big ole "Oh no you didn't" icon. Damn... where has he been my whole life.

But omg, BRAKES BREAK! What's up with that?! Does this mean they've skyrocketed to the top of your Christmas list? Glad to hear you're okay. *glomps!*

[myworldmytrue.livejournal.com]

DDD: I'm glad you're all alright! *hugs*

[blueteak.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad that you and your family are OK! Urgh. I've only had one car accident and Pearl Jam's "Alive" was playing when our car got hit, no joke.

Thanks so much for the DW links too--I was searching like mad for the name of a fic I wanted to give inspiration credit to while lj was down and realized just how much I rely on it.

Yay Merlin holidays! Can't wait to settle in and read. Hope to take part next year.

i'd say poor car but it was its own fault :l

[mabonwitch.livejournal.com]

Eep! Brakes are really not optional.

SO EXCITED FOR MERLIN HOLS!

[eldee.livejournal.com]

[waltzing-mice.livejournal.com]

You don't have any enemies do you? Cut brake line or something? How do brakes stop working?

[kathyh]

Yikes! Very glad you're OK even if the car isn't. Cars really should know better these days!

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]
