The Weirdo Funtivity Book makes a great gift for children, adults, pets, imaginary friends... basically everyone. Give them the gift of Weirdo this holiday season.

Here's a higher-resolution image if you want to draw on it.

Please visit this link, and at least consider signing up. It helps me, and it gets you involved in a pyramid scheme that doesn't require you to invest any money. (that's sort of fun, actually) :3

On a similar note, post your email address if you want a lockerz invite. Same deal, helps me out, gets you involved in a pyramid scheme with no monetary investment.

EDIT: I didn't win, but here was my pitch

Hand Grip Trainer Battery Charger

You're in the middle of your favorite nowhere camping spot, and you need to call your friend to let them know where the rendezvous point is. Oh no! Your cell phone battery is completely drained because you were using it to rock out to some kickin' rad tunes! You've got about an hour before this situation becomes a problem, so you pull your hand grip trainer battery charger, plug it into your cell phone, and start squeezing. Your other hand is free to pitch a tent and fend off bears, as every squeeze brings you a charge closer to informing your friend of the coordinates and landmarks that will bring you together for a weekend of carefree wilderness survival.

Using the same gearing concepts of a pullback toy car (only tweaked for more torque), the single hand squeeze motion can be used to turn a small dynamo/generator, which would be hooked to a small rechargeable battery (for consistency of DC energy), which would then be wired to a variable voltage output with swappable plugs to charge a cell phone, or other popular portable computing/communication/gaming devices. It could easily be made using recycled plastic/rubber/metal. Having very few parts and being a relatively small device, it could be manufactured with fairly little impact on the environment.

This concept is eco-friendly and unobtrusive, allowing you to free yourself of wall warts and car chargers and convert your own physical energy into electricity while getting a nice light workout for your grip, all without giving up the amenities of modern living. If used daily by a decent handful of people, it would assuredly have a positive influence on our electrical usage, while being a constant reminder to be kinder to our planet.

Surviving. No point, but I'd do it anyway.

London is lovely, it only rained this evening (so far, and of course while I had on my non-waterproof sneakers), but not so much and it's only chilly, not deathly cold, so that's good!

I have managed to only buy and Oyster card (and associated top-ups) and food (VERY TECHINICALLY) so far, and am suitably proud of myself XD I'm sure this will change sometime in the next couple of days (and I hope so, since I still need a couple more presents before Christmas is ogranized!).

In other news, internet is free for an hour if you buy something from the hostel bar, so I've been funding my catching up with chocolate and water XD Always happy to sacrifice for the internet, you see.

Ten more minutes, so I'd better get on with finishing my internetting XD

TL;DR: I'm still alive, London's all right, internet is obviously viable XD

It's true, you know. I do love you guys.

Happy International Hug Day!

I'm not sure whether this day requires you to hug someone across the border of your country or not. ...Might be a fun challenge.
