I have most of my secret santa giftee's present and am hoping to mail it on Saturday.
Cordelia: You're him. You're Angel's son. Connor: It's not like I got to choose.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

I have wrapped presents in a box in my office. Now I have only to brave the hordes at the post office to ship it. Which scares me, because post office in downtown SF the week before Christmas? utter madness.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
libkitty, you are so much stronger than me. Wrapped presents in front of me generally have the lifespan of however long it takes for me to unwrap them.
Signed,
We don't need no stinkin' impulse control!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My santee's gift is being mailed today, so it should get there by Christmas.
All of my other holiday gifts? Gonna be late late late.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
The final part for my Seekrit Santa gift arrived today, so I shall wrap it this weekend and send it out on Monday. That person may even get it for Christmas!
A lovely little surprise, when I wasn't expecting that last piece until Dec. 24th.
I'm still ruminating on 2004. Major things happened, both good and bad, but I'm not in the right headspace now to be positive.
edited to put words in proper order. All your parsing belong to us.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
No, because (1) I'm a lazy tool, (2) I figured you didn't need more stuff to shlep around Europe, (3) I can give it to you when you get here, and (4) see #1.
(5) That's okay. It actually would be nicer if you wanted until I got home, because, dude, I'm carrying about thirty-five pounds of books back to the States. You know how many books I have. Is this a good idea? Not especially. By the time I get out of undergrad I'll need a Uhaul trailer just for my damned books.
SA! When will you be in the states again? I need to add you to the kidnap list, you see ...
I return on January 31st, where I will be spending a fabulous night at Chez Teppy. I was thinking about maybe trying to swing Seattle for spring break, but flights are horrendous. ETA: Also, I think by this point I owe a trip out to either San Francisco or Los Angeles.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, I think by this point I owe a trip out to either San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Either? You better come here.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
SA! How many books have you bought?

Oh, lord. Don't ask me that question. For the term, I've bought about one and 3/4 shelves full of books. Twenty-five maybe? On the outside. Though in my defence, some of those are gifts.

Ones for the term don't count, because they're required. I meant your addiction to non-school-related books.
