Set some nookie free, Lysana.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I share. Just ask.

Who is JM, Sail? At first I misread and thought it was JRM and I was going to say, there's no reason to abandon JRM.

Preliminary. May post longer about this later.

2004 has been a year of ups and downs. I got to spend time F2F with many Buffistas I adore. I wish that time could have been longer in all cases.

Financially, this has been one of the roughest years on record. I spent pretty much the entire year unemployed, at least in the steady-day-job kind of way, and that was very, very difficult for me.

On the upside, most of the work I did do was in theater or film, which, while rough on my pocketbook, was very good for my soul. Most recently, I took up working on a stage show that has been one of my greatest professional pleasures to be a part of. Now if I can just get that to make enough to make a living, I'll be a happy, happy man.

Speaking of happiness, even when I am happy, I don't think I'm all that happy. I have quite a temper problem, one that for quite a while I thought I had under control, but which the last several years have made evident that I do not.

I also find myself continuously angry at the world for not being a better place than it is. I feel very bitter and betrayed most of the time, by life in general. I imagine some who would read this would laugh at me for that alone, but I engage in schadenfreude myself from time to time, so who am I to begrudge?

Like many, the election left quite a bad taste in my mouth, so I shall speak no further of it.

Two of my best friends had their first child, who is by far the most beautiful person I've ever met. I adore little Emmaline far beyond any capacity I ever imagined I had to adore someone. Though I'm still not sure I'm spelling her full name right.

I also learned my sister was pregnant with her first child, and some time in March, I will become an uncle. This pleases me beyond measure.

I have other thoughts, but I must return to hosting duties soon. On the whole -- I don't know. I don't know how the good weighed against the bad, but I try to focus on the good, and let the bad be forgotten.

I also feel priveleged beyond measure to be entering my third year of Buffistahood, and count myself rich beyond the dreams of avarice for the incredible friends I have found right here on this posting board.

As odd as I've felt of late, perhaps 2004 wasn't so bad after all.

Not SailAweigh, but James Marsters, I would guess.

The millenium came.

See? Gus is right, again!

Except that millennium is spelled with two n's, Gus.

Ok, it is all about boys and nookie up in this thread.

Time for Gus to go have his own life. Lysana, I applaud your spiritual awakening. A lorica- tatooed Son of Dana salutes you.

The rest of you boy-chasing Buffistas: ... t smoochies on you all.

and a really HUGE phhbbt! for SeanK

Am I the only one who really doesn't have a problem with this?

Nope.

Chasing I may be doing, catching nsm. My clearance rate sucks. What? A holiday thread without packages? Sacrilege.
