Meme, donations

Now here's a challenging little meme from murasaki99:

1. Comment and I'll pick one of your LJ interests and draw you a picture, using MS Paint.
2. You have no say in what I draw you! Or in how much it will suck!
3. Put this in your journal. And the pic someone drew for you.

Here is the pic Murasaki drew for me:


Be warned however: I've no drawing skills whatsoever.

brightfame persuaded me to donate to a large organisation to aid the region of the world stricken by the Tsunami. Normally, I'm wary of donating to large bodies, because I fear abuse and misallocation of funds, but this time, I did it, via the Disaster Emergency Committee

I've now finished sending all of my Christmas cards. I do apologise to those of you who'll receive their card WAY LATE. In the mean time, thanks a lot to hiddenhibiscus, mollymcgonacall, swampfaye, seviet (what a lovely pic of Percy!), piperx (cute idea for a card and great report), hildigunnur, murasaki99 (thank you for the long letter and the cat pics) and a few others I may have forgotten whose cards were waiting for me when we came home from Germany.

Happy New Year!

All the best for 2005, everyone. I'll be AWOL for all of tomorrow, and briefly in work on Sunday for a couple of hours to hustle away on those exams that I procrastinated on today. 7 submissions done, m'dears, and 51 to go. WAHEY! I hope to get 15 more done on Sunday, 25 more on Monday, and the rest on Tuesday morning. YAWN.
