Creative Central

As expected, the Christmas break is flying by. I can't believe it's just a week till Christmas. I, however, am not as stressed about that fact as my parents are. I imagine this weekend will be spent writing cards and delivering presents. I designed and wrote a few Christmas cards myself this year. I've been working on a faux calligraphy, which is featured heavily throughout the cards. The cards are just done with some fine tip markers, as apposed to with crafting supplies, but I really like how they turned out. But since I've been home and have access to my scrapbooking supplies, I've made some other cards that are a little more intricate. I think making cards is going to be my new hobby. Ever since I had my new years resolution to write a letter and deliver it through snail mail every week, I've been a fan of sending snail mail (not every week though). Now I'm just adding making the cards to that. Although stationary areas in stores are still my weak spot.
The other thing I've been occupying my time with is wrapping Christmas gifts. I try and up my game each year. This year every gift has ribbon and a bow. I also try and wrap parts of gifts individually, because why open one gift when you can open 3? I made a gift basket of which I'm very pleased with. 
The 2016 gingerbread creation has been designed (here's a sneak peak: it's not a house). I'm going to make it next week, show it off for a couple days to the relatives, and then it can be consumed. I may have designed a bigger creation that I thought, but we'll see how it turns out. It's never exactly the size it's meant to be.
I went through my photos from when I was abroad and have selected a highlight reel to print off and hopefully scrapbook. It still ended up being over 70 photos. But I guess considering I took over 2000, that's not bad.
And in case you hadn't noticed the trend of crafty and creative things, the other project occupying my time is a t-shirt quilt I'm doing for a friend. It's coming along nicely, although there was a bit of a pause while I waited for the last two shirts to arrive. I'm hoping that I can have it finished within the next week. The deadline is unofficially when I go back to Stratford, so that I can give my friend the quilt the next time I see her. If I happen to have time during the craze of the week surrounding Christmas, I'll start working on another quilt that I said I would do for a family friend. Its been about 5 years, so I figured I should probably get going on that. I just wish that I had room to sew at my apartment. I can't wait till I retire and have unlimited time to do crafty things.

I would like to thank whichever one of you sent me mail :) However, I would also like to apologize because I can't actually pick it up yet cause reception is closed for the weekend. But on the plus side for you, your time of favouritism will be extended, cause now you're my favourite cause you sent me mail. But then you will continue to be my favourite until 24hrs after I actually get the mail. Wait, so why am I apologizing? You're the one who's benefiting :)

Question

What's the movie where the main character convinces this banker dude to invest a lot of money in a particular stock, knowing that the stock was going to fall and therefore result in the collapse of the banker? This wasn't the main plot line, the main character was trying to ruin a lot of people's lives...I think. If you know what movie I'm talking about, lemme know.

Also, I'm slightly disappointed that being my favourite person for a solid 24hrs was not enough to convince you to send me mail :(

75. Do you study better with or without music?
I wish I could study with music. But I find that I'm distracted by the lyrics. If the song doesn't have any lyrics in it, then I'm fine.

Just an FYI...

If you send me mail, like real mail through Canada Post, you'd be my favourite person for a solid 24 hours.
