Seventeen and a half months ago. They grow like the wind, these grasshoppers.
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.
Jeeez. Seems like just yesterday. Sunrise, sunset...
You got an invite to her high school graduation, right?
DX, that was years ago. She's getting married next week.
Did flea say something about grandchildren? My, the days, how they fly.
Eeeeeeee!!! Vortex is the best Sekrit Santa ever, I don't care that she was late!
Back in December, I literally thought, "Damn, it would be really great if I got The Best American Science Writing 2004 for a Sekrit Santa gift."
AND I DID OMG YAY.
Plus a book of scary stories written by women! Margaret Atwood, Shirley Jackson, Joyce Carol Oates, Jamaica Kincaid, Flannery O'Connor...all in one book!!
And a pen!
totally has a cow
That was so worth waiting for. Thank you so much!
Ooh, what's the name of the book?
Mistresses of the Dark: 25 Macabre Tales by Master Storytellers.
Sounds like something that would provide great SS for classes. Out of curiousity, which Shirley Jackson story do they use?
"The Summer People."
