Still working on this using LiveJournal again thing. I'm participating in the ONTD Star Trek community Secret Santa exchange again this year, and I've just gotten my gifts from my Santa. They're very cute. She sent me a Maneki neko windchime, some Godiva chocolates, a Cthulhu dice game, and a card. I admit, the card takes the cake because not only ( Read more... )
