Rinkat, it sounds like you're on top of things in terms of gifts and decorations, even if your decorations are not as much as you seem like you'd like to have.
Decluttering is definitely a love-hate thing... I'm currently in the "ugh" part of the process 
Awwww Tam - it sounds like you have a cute little set up going. Are you planning on doing more? Is that moving box with the holiday stuff in it somewhere you can find or is it lost-lost, never to be found again?
Maybe you'll be able to curl up in your corner and sleep for a week after the holidays and the chaos of them is over with??
Awwww... Nico is so cute, Scarz! And that's adorable that you put up the tree just for him

I'm inspired by this response + Blazestorm's reaction, I'll attempt to draw something tomorrow.
Why tomorrow? Today's apparently dedicated to seizures.
Also, I can't promise good quality. 
...
...
On a semi-related note, I need to figure how to post larger images without completely screwing up Zantarni.
Blazestorm and Scarz - You might be awake to find my comic thread with absurdly sized images. Specifically, about... 100? 150? in height and varying in width. Assuming you do, please don't freak out and delete them all in one go, I'm measuring Zan to see what I can get away with without screwing Zantarni over. Also, a massive text block.
This is just an experiment, I'll delete both after I get the numbers nailed down.

Nightshade - my reaction? I'm happy to hear that you're inspired by cupcakes and my reaction, but really ... what was so significant about my reaction to the last few posts? 
Also, what we can do about your huge images is have you create a thumbnail that is linked to a larger image (so people can actually see it/read it), like this:
| Code: |
| [url=LargeImageURL][img]URLofThumbnail[/img][/url] |
... don't worry, we won't delete your images without at least a conversation, but do try that^^

Definitely not as many as I would like/used to have. My family likes decorating for Christmas, so we used to have a ton of stuff. Unfortunately, most of it has been lost from moving, or damaged after being in storage.
The only present I need to put together is one for my best friend. I had to order a couple things so I'm just waiting on them to get here. I have a really good idea, and I know she'll love it, so I'm super excited because she's gonna be excited.
I really try not to let things get too cluttered. My dad's a hoarder and living with that sucked.
Scarz
My cat also loves the tree skirt. So much so that she drug it away from the tree and made a bed out of it.

I got a bell to decorate the outside of the door today (since two neighbours near me have big wreaths), but that's all my plans right now. I don't think the other things are forever lost. I might even have seen the stuff since I got here. It's just that I haven't enough shelf space yet, so many things are still in boxes (why it is suddenly SO hard to find complete wire storage cubes I don't know. I now have grids, but no collectors).
The plans are to close the stall for January and February, so I'll probably get time off then. I think that part of what's messing with my head is temp change from coming in out of the cold. It seems the high temps this summer have made my head more sensitive or something.

Anyways, today won't be drawing day either. Seizures all day.

[img] works without problem, it's the [url] that's the problem here.
imgur's links are a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, and for whatever reason [url] makes all letters all lowercase, which in turn leads to a 404.
so... my options regarding thumbnail are "microscopic" (tbf, didn't try that one) for "small thumbnail", "tiny" for "medium thumbnail", and "small" for "large thumbnail". I didn't measure the size the thumbnail, so I'm not entirely sure.
The so called "large thumbnail" is roughly 2/3 of the ideal pic size.

FYI- I talked with Zukyun again about what's going on with the URLs. He remembers what the deal is with them being forced to lowercase (i.e. broken) and is going to take a look at it as soon as possible. 
... I've been busy the last couple of days and am currently in a bit of a zombie state (need much more caffeine and more sleep), so please forgive the lack of specific replies- I just don't have the bandwidth for it ATM (as stupid as that sounds).
Hope everyone has been well.

I made curry from a recipe.
I think I need to cook it just a little more... though the small bits of the squash that's still crunchy aren't unpleasant.

It sounds like a pumpkin or squash curry. I've been thinking about making something like that a lot recently too but just haven't quite made it to the kitchen to do it...

I am impatiently waiting for the arrival of a package so I can put together my best friend's Christmas present. I'm going to her house tonight so I really hope it gets here soon so I have time to glue some things.

Yup! It was a squash one. The recipe I used was for an easy one pot pumpkin curry. I didn't have a lot of the spices, so I made do, and I cut the sugar in half (and used stevia stuff besides). So it tasted a little weird, but still tasty. Instead of fish sauce or soy sauce I used the salty brine from a can of chicken cocktail sausages. The squash has a tender skin and I was told I could leave it on, but I think for curry it might be better without.
