B7 Card 2007

Here's the B7 card I sent out this year, for those of you whose addresses I don't have, and those of you overseas who haven't got it yet. As far as I know, that's all of you but [livejournal.com profile] vandonovan even though I've had several from you. :-(


The boys were a little annoyed that Cally and Jenna
wouldn't let them open their presents till after midnight.


"Ooh, far too big and heavy to be yet more lockpicks to Newcastle,
whatever that is. I just hope it's not a pack of those black
fossil fuel rocks Avon gave me last year for some reason..."

"Oh, lovely! A gourmet pack from Lindor: brandy, chocolate,
wine, cheese, Mars Bars, and those cute little balls they do
that look like chocolate Death Stars!"

Aww, that's adorable! :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! And you were meant to have got one! Sod NZ Post.

[identity profile] astrogirl2.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
It'll probably get here eventually. I'll consider this a sneak peek. :)

[identity profile] astrogirl2.livejournal.com 2007-12-26 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
And I got it today! So it wasn't very late, after all. Nice to see it in person. :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-26 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm g;ad you finally got it. Next year I'll have to either send it a lot earlier or just do an e-card. :-P

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
This is full of so much win. :D I'll post mine later sometime. XDXDXD

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
And I'll see if I can find the previous years' pics and put them on my site sometime. :-)

[identity profile] kalinda001.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's so nice!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :-)

[identity profile] entropy-house.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I got mine yesterday! I forgot to pick up the mail until late and then today I've been trying frantically to do my Alteregothon, and I forgot to tell you it had arrived. It's lovely!

(Lest you feel singled out, I got cards from other people yesterday too, along with a bill, and have replied to none of them yet.)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, good, another person got one on time. :-)

[identity profile] entropy-house.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Don't give up hope! Tomorrow's the 24th here, so maybe others will make it on time.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
It's particularly annoying because I got cards last week from people who sent them about the same time. They do say 10 days though, and I suppose it'll be that by tomorrow. I'll have to be more organised next year.

[identity profile] entropy-house.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's a big world and they're only little envelopes; I'm always surprised that so many of them find their way so quickly.

[identity profile] redstarrobot.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be a little worried about what's in those boxes...

(And hooray! Camp 1970s SF Christmas is the best ever.)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
:-D Thank you! And yeah, I'd be a little worried about opening anything from Vila. He's canonically fond of practical jokes.

[identity profile] executrix.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
They're lovely! Thank you for the treat!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for those kind words! :-D

[identity profile] bramblyhedge.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
For some reason the thought of the Liberator gang celebrating Xmas is freakishly adorable. *lol* I love the pictures.

(And I can definitely see Avon giving poor Vila a lump of coal *lol*)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
A whole carton of it!

Thank you!

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

Avon: Be grateful, Vila. With enough compression, in a hundred-million years you'll have a carton full of diamonds!

My favourite form of carbon! I think I can arrange some heat and pressure before that.

[identity profile] veryprobably.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
You might look into learning to living forever while you're at it.

[identity profile] veryprobably.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid the odds are rather against you getting very much farther.

[identity profile] vila-restal.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Is that a prediction or a threat?

[identity profile] veryprobably.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Merely a fact.

[identity profile] snowgrouse.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!♥

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
:-D

[identity profile] labingi.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's wonderful! What a great Christmas idea:)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I'm beginning to think that electronic versions are better. They get to more people, and on time!

[identity profile] hafren.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Lovely! That first one has them looking so wistful....

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
I know! But they didn't have to wait for long.

[identity profile] communicator.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
And Merry Christmas to you vilakins, and to all the crew

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
And to you and your family!

[identity profile] zoefruitcake.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
oh it's lovely. I admit that I actually have your wonderful card from last year pinned up next to my desk here, indeed it has been up all year as I loved it so much.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, thanks! You should get this one eventually too. I did send you a copy 10 days ago.

[identity profile] jaxomsride.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That's great ! Merry Christmas and a Very Merry New Year!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-25 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Thank, and same to you!

You should eventually get a paper version of this. :-(

[identity profile] jaxomsride.livejournal.com 2007-12-25 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
The word being "Eventually". Gone are the days when our postal Service would allow you to send a letter from Manchester in the morning and receive a reply by the evening.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-25 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
I just got your e-card! Thank you: excellent and very appropriate one! A nearby shopping centre once had reindeer in sunnies lining the street and Santa on the beach on banners. YESSSS!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-25 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I did! We often have summer Santa cards here, but I didn't see any this year. Mind you, I left it a bit late.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-25 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

I sent one to you too; I hope you get it. I don't think anyone in the UK has so far. :-(

[identity profile] pinkdormouse.livejournal.com 2007-12-25 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll let you know when it arrives.

[identity profile] pinkdormouse.livejournal.com 2007-12-28 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It arrived while I was away!

Thanks.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-12-28 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Next year I'll have to be more efficient and send it earlier, or just do an e-card. :-P
