In a gift bag for Pepper there's a pendant, a brochure (with a note saying Choose whichever one you want, and I'm yours for the day. You owe me a race, Potts. I love you. Merry Christmas.). And a compass, engraved with I'll always find my way home to you.
In Rhodey's gift box there is a watch, and a gift certificate. Merry Christmas, honey bear. Let me know when you have a weekend off and we'll take advantage of that race track.
For Harry there is A gift certificate, a scarf, and a suitcase with a note. Merry Christmas, kid. I love you. The last gift is more significant than anything else, in the sense that I hope you know you're always welcome back in California. Distance is nothing between us.
For the rest of the muses, I'm reusing a meme that someone wonderful thought of last year:
Okay here is the deal. I can't do on-line shopping without a guide. So, if you want to know what Tony got your pup for Christmas, comment here please.

On Friday there's a benefit for the Maria Stark Foundation. Which coincides with her birthday this year. Go fuckin' figure. If you'd like to attend, you're all more than welcome to show up.
Don't worry, Pepper, this year I actually won't make a big fuss about not going before showing up. I just might leave early.

Great. Even if Thanksgiving has already been mentioned, it just hit me that the holidays are coming.
I hate this time of the year.
[/locked]
So. Big plans for the holidays?

Catchy songs are evil. Who would've thought Tony Stark would ever play and put on repeat from time to time possibly sing along hum a Britney Spears song?
If I find any of that in YouTube you two and Jarvis will be in big trouble. And you know who 'you two' are.
Stop laughing, Rhodey.
I'll be in the workshop trying to get the song out of my head.

Apparently I can fly, take on missiles, bombs and other things but cooking? Not exactly my specialty.
On the upside, the house didn't burn down not all the ravioli is uncooked and/or burnt.
Still. There'll be a next time, obviously.
Meanwhile, plan B is in play. I know the best restaurants in Malibu, and which ones I can talk into delivering. Dinner should be here shortly.

| [justprompts] Ten nicknames you have for people and why you picked them. |
[09 Oct 2008|12:33pm] |
01. Pepper. Pepper spray. I'm never going to forget that one.
02. Happy. He's just so cheerful all the time, haven't you noticed?
(...sarcasm, in case you missed it.)
03. Rhodey. He has never been Jim, or James, or Rhodes unless I'm in a bad mood with him. I just can't picture him as any of those names. He's Rhodey, period.
04. The kid. For Harry Osborn, obviously. I may have used it for someone else, but that name always belongs to him. He's...you know. The kid.
05. Obie, for Obadiah. Long story, don't want to get into it.
06. Tony. I know it's for myself, but it counts. I used to demand people to call me that when I was old enough to know the difference between Tony and Anthony. The latter was mostly reserved for my parents. Mostly my old man.
07. For the rest?
08. I don't
09. give nicknames
10. unless I'm close to someone.
[reasoning Tony is using for Pepper's nickname comes from the novel adaptation of the movie]

Jason, sorry for...you know. Hopefully you'll still be coming by some time.
Rhodey, thanks. And I'm fine. Things are better. So...thanks.
Pepper... A day in the spa and flowers don't seem like enough.

The sound of a very loud alarm clock startled Tony out of his sleep, and with his heart beating wildly in his chest he scrambled out of bed at once. His legs felt wobbly under him as he stood, and he could barely focus on his surroundings, but one thing was certain: His head was already throbbing with such a force that Tony wanted to kill something.
"What the f-- JARVIS!" Grumbling under his breath, he pressed his fingers against his temples as he sat at the edge of the bed, leaning his elbows on his knees. Closing his eyes, he fought back a momentary wave of nausea and instead tried to breathe and calm down. At least the alarm had stopped blaring.
Suddenly, as he sat there, he remembered that his condition to wake him up was if it was something urgent and that couldn't wait, so at once he turned towards the ceiling unconsciously. "What happened?"
"You may want to see this."
If Tony were completely sober he'd wonder if Jarvis' tone was actually irritated, but instead he just blinked over at the television screen that was also used as a monitor for his computer and tried to focus as much as he could as the letter appeared in full view.
After reading it - three times, because the first time he couldn't make sense of it, and the second he was way too deep in denial - he felt his stomach drop and with a groan he let himself fall back on the bed.
"That is urgent, right sir?"
"How long ago was that?" Tony asked instead, tone flat as he stared blankly up at the ceiling. Jarvis didn't answer right away, which made Tony glare. "Jarvis--"
"I was estimating the right time. Five minutes and ten seconds."
Right. So if he were to leave from Dubai now, he could try to make it back as quickly as possible. The idea of the kid moving out made him feel worse than any concussion could; the thought made him feel as if he was running out of air and he sat up at once, keeping himself from heaving. Barely, but still being able to do so nonetheless.
Standing, Tony reached over for his t-shirt and started to head down towards the lab. "Prepare the suit. We just have to make it back there as quickly as possible, got it? I just... God. Fuck!" Passing by a door, he punched it as hard as he could but kept walking nonetheless. He wanted something, anything to take away what he was feeling, but nothing was helping. Not the alcohol. Not the punch. Not flying.
Damn it.
"With all due respect, sir, this could have been avoided very easily."
"Yeah, he could have just told me what happened instead of flipping out."
A beat. "You have yet to go over what truly happen in full detail, sir?
Tony sighed deeply as he descended the stairs, towards where the suit was waiting for him to climb in. "Yeah, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me."
"Consider it some friendly advice." A pause. "And some in-flight reading."
