Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In January I caught a purse-snatcher who stole

audabee 's purse (30 points). Last month I gave

caffey a Dutch Oven (-10 points). In October I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). Last Thursday I broke

ufp13 's X-Box (-12 points). Last Wednesday I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). Overall, I've been nice (19 points). For Christmas I deserve an XBox 360!

Sincerely, pook41

Oh well - there goes my rep - I'm nice.

shayenne

Tennis - backhand, backcourt uber-sliced come drop shot - usually spun sideways - Warnie would be proud. And my wicked left foot free kicks. My surgery skills - if only I studied harder at high school

Do you want to learn another language?

Five things you can't live without.
Mr Pook, DD#1, DD#2, dog#1 and dog#2

What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
Who roped me into being in all these meetings? Yuk.

What are you looking forward to?
A holiday. Anywhere

Say something to the person who tagged you:
Since I've been slack - and my f list is small - I'm sure everyone would have answered.

Thanks Shay and everyone else.

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

audabee's flat tire (15 points). In November I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points).

Kathryn was worried, staring at the spot on the viewscreen where the sphere had just disappeared. Had Seven betrayed them and had she just condemned them all to assimilation? Probably both, Kathryn thought.

She wouldn’t have much time to make her peace. Voyager wouldn’t stand a chance against a Seven directed Borg attack.

“Chakotay, my ready room.”

In her sanctuary, she stood very close to him.

Chakotay wondered what was going on.

This wasn’t exactly how she pictured telling Chakotay how she truly felt about him but it would have to do. “Chakotay, I love you.” Then she kissed him.
