Last summer, mom and dad got me a 4 foot, ready-lit Christmas tree from their church's rummage sale. When I opened the box yesterday to put it up, I discovered that said box also contained a 'classic' Nutcracker figurine (one of the big ones, that cost about $50 in the shops) and some other light strings, including chili-pepper light covers. Neither of those might be exactly what I would buy on my own, but still. Score! The tree looks a little funny with ornaments only on the top, but Inigo got too curious if I put them lower down, so. And it's festive.

Here is where I point out that I am not ONLY watching Merlin for the Merlin/Arthur slash.

In other news, apparently my brain writes badfic while I'm sleeping

I was trying to find Inigo so I could get him in a box so we could go somewhere, and I followed him into a warehouse. Where I came upon Michael Scofield and Jared Padalecki. Michael had kidnapped Jared as part of a bargain that would get him his brother back. And he had Jared NAKED and bent over this big metal thing (table? airplane wing? it was a dream, whatever), and he was TATTOOING a code onto the curve where Jared's arse turns into his thighs. There were hands gripping and muscles twitching and lots of skin and the sound of the tattoo needles... *wipes drool omg*

Then I saw Inigo, except he was a large Cockatoo for some reason, and he'd flown up to the top of the warehouse where the skylight was. On the other side of the skylight was a HUGE hawk, like Albatross-sized, and the hawk was Jensen, come to rescue Jared. Turning into a Hawk was his super power. Of course.

Sadly, the rest of the dream was me trying to get Cockatoo!Inigo into a box, and not more of Wentworth Miller's asiodfnaondfg HANDS ALL OVER JARED'S ASS WHILE HE TATTOOED HIM. But at least I got the one scene.

And now I have to get ready for class and make buy (I considered how quickly airpopped popcorn tastes stale, and the class for the popcorn doesn't start until 4) popcorn and apples and oranges for fruit salad. Which is what I'm bringing to the class 'parties' today.
