Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I had the most wonderful transition from '04 to '05.

On the last day of '04, I met my first buffista in person (other than AnotherAlaskan, who is wonderful, but doesn't count because I knew him before). I had a great time with Java Cat, poking around town. Then, on the first day of '05, Java Cat showed me around Berkeley and I got to meet Consuela too. Whoot!

Java Cat stopped by my dad's place afterwards, and after she left, my cousin noted that I have nice people on the board I post to, and perhaps he might need to switch. I agreed that buffistas are the bestest.

I'm hopeful that I may get to meet more buffistas before heading home, but even if I don't, this is the perfect start to a new year.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm hopeful that I may get to meet more buffistas before heading home, but even if I don't, this is the perfect start to a new year.

So cool, libkitty! I wish I'd been able to start off my New Year hanging out with Buffistas in SF.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

libkitty, have you got my cell number? Our home phone is out (stoopid rain).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

In the last couple of days I've been told that I have no life. Maybe I should try and get one of those in 2005. Are there stores for that sort of thing?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Phooey. Don't listen to them, aurelia. I have relatives like that. The lives they tried to buy in the stores didn't make them happy, so they look for it at the bottom of a bottle and don't find it there, either.

Sweetie, you're in one. Fourth floor, cocktail party snark, news before the mainstream media ever sniffs it, ladies lingerie (well, corsetry, anyway)...
