"This above all, to thine own self be true"-William Shakespeare

I'm hoping some of my non-SPN friends will be willing to help me out here. As part of GISHWHES (Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen) we're taking pledges to commit an act of kindness between now and the end of the year. My team gets points for every 2 pledges, and the pledges themselves are an attempt to set a world record, but most importantly it puts more kindness into the world. And it's good for your karma! :)

Help us reach 100,000 pledges from people all around the world to perform a Random Act of Kindness before the end of 2012.

Pledging is FREE and you're not committing to a newsletter or anything (unless you opt in).

Any act that's "kind" will qualify. We want to better the world and break a Guinness World Record at the same time for the most pledges of Random Acts of Kindness.

Don't forget to include my email (lilyleia78 @ yahoo.com) in the box of Email Address of the person who referred you and spread the news to all your friends

Did everyone see the announcement that Saban is releasing PR on DVD? Yes? Carry on with your day.

Perhaps I should say something profound, but since I've just been re-watching Storm Before the Calm all I've got is

We may not be Power Rangers, but we still have powers.

It's profound if you think about it.

Happy New Year to all! Be good and be safe and here's hoping that in 2012 your sorrows will be less and your joys magnified. Good luck and God bless.

I have to go to bed, but I just read both my gifts from sga_santa and deancas_xmas and they were both so wonderful that I had to rec them right away. I must have been a very good girl this year.

SGA - Black Flag John/Rodney.

Earth is never going to let Atlantis go home, so John takes matters into his own hands. I always ask for fluff, schmoop, and happy endings with these things. Because I really love fluff, schmoop, and happy endings, but also because I worry about things getting too dark if I don't specify. In this case, Santa gave me everything I didn't even know I wanted in a fic. It's serious and mildly angsty, but the ending is hopeful and the whole thing is moody and simply gorgeous.

SPN - He Who Laughs Last (the Joke's on Us) Jensen/Misha

Jensen and Misha think they’re pulling the mother of all pranks on Jared by pretending to be a couple, but they’re in way over their heads. OMG. What can I even say about this fic? It's completely awesome. It's funny and sweet and insightful and just perfect. I laughed so hard I cried and I smiled so big my face started to hurt. And it gave me that warm, heart clenching feeling in my chest that always accompanies my very favorite happy-place stories.

Go. Read. Tell the Santas how wonderful they are. Here's hoping you all get something just as wonderful in your stockings this year. Love you.

Just when I look at something and think about how it's the longest thing I've ever written, I click on a link for a story that is four times longer. :) Ah, well. Epic is relative?

Have I mentioned recently how much I love you all? Because I totally do.

::HUGS::

Merry Christmas all. Joy, love, and peace be yours now and always. I love you.

World Team Tennis! I am so, so excited. I just got back from watching The Saint Louis Aces with Lindsay Davenport versus The Washington Kastles with Venus Williams.

My seat was great, but unfortunately I forgot to bring a camera. It was so awesome to see it in person. I just... have no words for how amazing it was - I love tennis so much.

FYI - The Aces lost, but Lindsay won her match against Venus so there's that.

Icon only relevant in that it's the only tennis one I have. Vamos Rafa!
