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.

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

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)...

dcp, that's good (for me, not that your relatives are unhappy) 'cause I doubt I have the cash for that sort of shopping.

Heh. Yep, that's kinda why I'm here. Thanks, Deb.

move out and draw fire
Sweetie, you're in one.
SO true. I'd be seriously psychotic by now if I didn't shop here at Buffista Emporium.

All of you people who think you had the best Secret Santa are wrong, wrong, wrong. Sue is the best. I have Lush bath bombs, handmade olive oil soap from Halifax, The Escapist comic (because she saw I had just read Kavalier and Clay), a magazine from Montreal, a Secret Santa Mix CD, ladybug magnets, a beautiful piece of local pottery and a toaster (in the form of a tea towel). It was a very exciting package, full of Christmas glitter and wonderful and very thoughtful presents. Can I adopt you, Sue? You're a much better Santa than any of my relatives.

Aw Ginger, I'm so glad you like it. And that it arrived!

Hey, is it too late to do the "my 2004" thing?
2004 was not bad, but I wish so much of it hadn't gone past in a blur. Officially got the job I've always wanted (and by, "always wanted," I mean "since age 8") although I'd been doing it, sans title, for a while. I worked too much, had too little time here and not enough of those "weekend" things people talk about. DH worked too much too, and his work is not as fun as mine (although much, much, much better paid). LB grew so fast this year! He's now a little guy, who reads, and draws elaborate superhero montages, and declares that when he gets big he's going to make movies where people hit each other ON PURPOSE. (I don't know where that came from, but ... okay. Whatever he wants to do ... ita, will you consult on-set?) I finally got to see Firefly, and started the addiction that is "The O.C.", while maintaining "The Wire" as my favorite post-Whedon show. Although I met a lot of neat people in 2005, they were all real--I didn't read enough fiction. (Nor did I keep up with my nonfiction list). I didn't cook enough or exercise enough or goof off enough or see friends enough (especially y'all, I don't think I've been in Natter since before it was of legal age) or write enough, so all those are on the list for 2005.
Oh, and Erika? I think the angry bitter McNulty was hotter too. (That last scene was a little Stepford for me.) I know it's my issues ... but want to scoot over on the bastard-McNulty bench so I can sit down? (Are you watching "Rescue Me"? Not quite as good as "The Wire" but damn good.)
