Random randomness

Yuletide signups are open! I am having my usual anxiety about signing up -- what if I can't finish my assignment? What if I write a bad story for my recipient? -- but I am most likely going to sign up again. So, I have to figure out what I'm going to request and offer. I think for requests, I am going to repeat my ficless requests from previous Yuletides, with one exception: Sarah Jane Adventures. I have received fic for SJA in Yuletide, but if I get more Gita!fic, I will somehow deal with that. :) And actually, I think I will request any of the characters, because I would also be perfectly happy with fic about the other nominated characters, especially as I haven't received fic about them for Yuletide yet.

"Three things make a post," but I can't think of a third thing. Let's see. Well, Halloween is coming up, and it's on a weekend this year, and I got invited to a party, but I have no idea what to wear. I am really bad at coming up with costumes. This is why I don't do cosplay. I mean, I'd like to do cosplay, but I suck at it, to the point where I can't even come up with one costume once a year for Halloween. I'm the target audience for all of those "buy/rent a Halloween costume here" stores, except I don't have enough money to feel comfortable splurging it on a Halloween costume. If I did, I'd own a whole collection of Doctor coats by now. ;)
