And look how happy she is to handle a functional cattle prod.
It's a miniature cattle prod. Purse-sized. V. handy.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES FOR SUCCESS IN THE MINIATURE CATTLE BUSINESS?
Tired of making minuscule profits?

Resolution for 2005 - I will never, ever, ever, color my hair myself again. Never. Ever. Really
See, I've started 2005 by finding multiple white hairs in my several inch roots. So I've decided I really need to dye my hair again!!

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

I sent off my SS gift a week ago via Priority Mail. To date, I haven't heard a peep from my giftee. Even if it wasn't perfect, I'd like to know if it got there.

Dear SecritSanta from Oakland,
Wow, are you generous! Made my Textwhore's heart leap just a bit more by sending:
Cobain's journals.
The latest Jonathan Lethem
And the beginning of Sandman.
I won't need reading material until Saint Patrick's Day after getting so much to read this Christmas. Thank you!(I'm not sure which of the SF posse you are, and you didn't put a card in, but thanks again!)

I just tried my very first Lush bath bomb ever and needed to come thank Raquel one more time. You are truly the best Seekrit Santa that ever was!!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The only time I colored my hair, no one noticed. It did hide the random white strands, so I probably ought to do it again.

I think that this is the thank-you thread for holiday presents (still wondering if some things mailed have arrived, myself). It works for senders and receivers, is a good place to get ideas for next year, and where you can get a warm glowy feeling in your heart for all Buffistas by reading about others' exchanges.
That's fine, but I happen to think that it's nice to write a little note. I love to get unexpected personal mail.
