Productivity

ravenI wanted to get some work done this afternoon, which for me usually means doing coursework and writing letters. I haven't done either of those things. Instead, I have been wasting time trying to make an animated Stargate icon, but it seems to be very difficult. I wanted something like the community icon for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sadistic_geeks, but it's very very difficult. Most of all, I wanted a pic of that moment from There but for the Grace of God - the last scene in the episode. It makes the sadistic part of me a happy rabbit.
Ah, well. What can I do? Besides be bored and not do anything productive, that is?
I have been involved in a lot of present-buying lately. I have a birthday present forpurplerainbow - as far as I know, she has no idea what it is. Em is taking care of Clare's present - it's a joint one.
As for Christmas, I can't decide whether to actually buy presents now, or get them in India and give them to everyone in January. I have.. um... all of seven Christmas presents to buy. Thank God it isn't a family thing - my family and I have an agreement. I don't buy them presents, they don't buy me presents.
My birthday is fairly soon... ish. Last year's wasn't too good. I hope this one is better, because it's my sixteenth birthday, but with the mocks I'm not holding out much hope.
I wish my parents made more of my birthday. Last year, for example, they didn't remember it until the day before, and didn't really get me anything until I'd made a fuss.
I guess that's my spoilt inner child talking. I'm an only child; of course my parents aren't good at all the childish things.

And your birthday won't be bad.
You'll spend it with us, if your parents don't mind.
Making people feel loved on their birthday is my speciality.
Bye bye birdy.
