It was

Submitted by Madeline on Tue, 12/25/2012 - 16:49

Her nails were silver and red. The beaded bracelet she wore was loose on her wrist. The keys were clicking under her fingers. The day was grey, pleasantly so. The tree was spreading its warmth around the room. The dog dreamt on the couch. Socked feet tapped out an uneven tune on the carpet. Music blasted through her headphones.

It was Christmas.

Don't even know what this should be called! LOL! So I categorized it as fiction. It's not much. :P Just my way of saying, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Also, on a really random note...the picture option is WORKING! I am so excited! :))))))

Hey nice! I just got back from visiting family for Christmas, but...
Merry Christmas!! Do Americans have a Boxing Day? For us it's the day after Christmas....

Is it, Megan? I'm heading to check it out. :D

EDIT: Uh, no it's not. Not for me. And I can't see your picture on your profile, either. Weird.

Okay. You know what? I can't change my picture. I see my picture above my comment and if I go into my user profile, I see it. Whether or not if I log in or log out. I tried changing my picture but then IT DOESN'T WORK! So I don't think the picture works. But I see a few people's pictures that have re-appeared. My picture is of me and a waterfall. You can't see it?

EDIT: Make sure you are on www.apricotpie.com versus apricotpie.com. The pictures show up on www.apricotpie.com only.

I knew that. And I am on the right site, www.apricotpie.com. I had emailed Arthur about it a couple of months ago. He said there was a glitch, and if more people complained about it, he would look into it. Or something along those lines. I dunno, you'll have ask Arthur. And no, I can't see your picture. Can you see mine? I can't see it anywhere.

I did "complain" to Arthur a few months ago. He responded (told me that James has to learn the language of the coding first).

And I am not going to ask again.

Yeah...years.

He said that the earliest James will probably learn it is December so maybe he could give us a Christmas present. So on the day I THOUGHT -- everything was working again because most of the pictures showed up -- was Christmas, I thought James really DID give us a Christmas present! :)

But I'll be patient.

Christmas present? Did I hear someone say Christmas present? *ear perks up* Christmas present?

Nah, I wouldn't have expected that, but anyway. Hopefully it will be working by February....May....June? lol
