no one tells a duck what to do
Oct. 8th, 2010 11:36 pmMegan: I mean it. If we don't get our ducks in a row, we're going to regret it.
Laura: I dislike that expression. No one tells a duck what to do.
(and this quote really has nothing to do with this, other then the expression "getting my ducks in a row", but I like it. I always thought it was cute.)
Since last year's holiday fic gifts ended up being a miserable faleure, I'm trying something different this year. I used to do goody-bags for all my friends when I was in grade school, and I really enjoyed it. Just candy, stickers and dollar-store trinkets that reminded me of the person. I did it to say "You've been a great friend! I like you 'cause you're cool and nice. This is my way of expressing it without actually gushing and sounding like a stalker." No stress, just love.
Also, I do not expect or want anything in return. If you happen to be doing gifts for people, then that's fine. But please don't feel obligated to do anything because I am. That would make this awkward and I really don't want to do that. I'm just a five-year-old at heart and like to make people things.
