Addresses for possible cards, if not for this holiday than possibly the next...

Have I made a post asking for people's addresses for potential cards, etc? I can't remember, and I don't see anything. Why oh why do I not tag consistently? It would be too easy to have a tag called 'addresses,' wouldn't it?

As always, I can't promise that I'll actually get cards out, because I'm disorganized. But if I don't even think about making the effort than I guess I'll never do it.

This post will be screened so that the answers won't be viewable by anybody besides you and me, but you can always write to my 'Contact' email address on my profile if you prefer. (And yes, that is phrased that way because I'm hoping to get some responses from non-LiveJournal friends as well.)

I'm stealing doublefourtime's address poll format because I like the information she gathers. "Random crap you like" - as an example I filled in on hers: "pens... Green is my favorite color, plaid/tartan or paisley are my favorite patterns. Anything to do with chocolate or tea is always good." (I should have added that earth tones like ochre are next after green, and that green apple is my favorite scent and I can't find it around here.)

The text below is tagged so you can copy and paste it into the reply and it will be formatted nicely (hopefully).

<b>name:</b>
<b>address(es):</b>

<b>birthday/date of birth:</b> DD/MM(/YYYY)
<b>holidays celebrated/favourite holiday/know of any good holidays?</b>
<b>random crap you like:</b>

Conversation with Hawk

I actually brought myself to make a phone call, Sunday.

Me: "How are you?"
Hawk: "Um.... Running full diagnostic. All systems checked. I'm okay..?*"

(He reveals that he's planning a trip to Mexico with a friend...)
Hawk: "Is there anything I can bring back for you? Some jumping beans or one of those things to keep you warm?"
Me: "Like a serape?"**
Hawk: "That's the shawl thing, like Martha Stewart? Ponchos are more street, right?"

It is vitally important that we not accidentally slip into the dress style of the upper class, we may get mistaken for them! :) I may write him a note and tease him about that, but he's right in one sense - I don't exactly feel comfortable dressing like a middle/upper class person. I sometimes wish that I could do so, effortlessly, because I think it might be the way to get a better job, but it's a costume for me when I try it. And I don't get how people keep a serape across one shoulder and it doesn't just fall off. Do they have special magical powers? And is there any other purpose to them besides adding color to an outfit?

Oh ick, it's snowing again. And I have to get errands run; must go.

*He tends to end all his sentences on an uplilt like a question; I'm not sure if this is insecurity and reaching for a response so that he knows people are listening, or just a West Coast thing.
