She's a valuable commodity.
While y'all are hanging around online: Which series is better MI-5 or Spooks?
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
MI 5 is precisely Spooks minus 18 minutes. I'd avoid it for that reason. I haven't yet, however, watched both versions of the same shows. Yet. But it's a principle thing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Do let us know when you've decided on dates, because I haven't met P-C, either, and I think I live considerably closer to A2 than you do.
I'd say I was a crappy Buffista, except I think that since P-C joined the board, I've been suffering from a severe case of workitis.
Ooh! I get to meet DebetEsse and shrift! (Actually, shrift, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think you hated me or something for never even proposing a visit when we're so close, but I do totally understand your workitis. It was quite obvious, with all the bitching about work. So in other words, I'm glad you don't hate me.) (And beathen, you should come down too! We'll have the best time ever!) (Man, I hope I'm not busy or anything.)

Dude, shrift lived in my state and I first met her in Toronto.
You've got to be willing to do the work to earn the shrift.

Well, fuck. I'm lazy, dude. I mean, I'm not even bothering to finish this damn Ph.D.

The package is mailed. The post office promised it would be delivered Monday. I will wait for much squeeing in here, then. If there is no package on Monday, I will bad-mouth the USPS more than I already do now.

I have achieved mailing. It's the only thing I've wrapped so far, but at least my Secret Santee should get her present closer to Christmukkah than Arbor Day. The way things are going, I may be sending Arbor Day cards, though.

I have an entire season of Pros. For the record.
And between work and krav, you'd have time to hang out when?
Stop trying to bogart the shrift.
You've got dibs.
Actually, shrift, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think you hated me or something for never even proposing a visit when we're so close
Oh, I don't hate you! Not at all. But I'm not exaggerating when I say that I'm clocking 10-12 hours a day plus commuting a fair distance daily on top of that, taking no lunches ever, and working many weekends. I think I've left town a whole five times this year; three conventions, one weekend stay at Lake Michigan for my sister's birthday, and one thing in Indiana for my mother's birthday.
I'm not fun when I'm this tired. And right now, I barely see my own family.
(Man, I hope I'm not busy or anything.)
Dude, now I'm hoping I don't have to punk out for some reason, because then I'll feel like even more of a jerk.
God, I was gonna visit Teppy, too, and that hasn't happened because of work. I suck.

I get social anxiety. t shrug It's a thing.

If I'm not actually there -- no need for anxiety! It's a brilliant solution.
