Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My new favorite typo: instead of a "self-deprecating" smile, which I assume is what they were going for, they used "self-depreciating" smile.

Like, you assume that your value decreases by 10% each year?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"self-depreciating" smile

Every time you smile, you lose one hit point.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Because I'd always only read it, I made that mistake when talking once. SO EMBARRASSING.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"his dominate hand."

And if I read one more misuse of "peaked around the corner" I will scream.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Every so often I post this sentence: "His interest was piqued by her peaked nipple where it peeked over the top of her bodice." And I still get, "huh? I dun geddit."

I think we need more whips and chairs (admit it, you thought I was going to say chains, and this is not that sort of post) and fewer standardized tests in school.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Am I totally too late to ask about Vividcon DVDs for this year? I feel like I am

Nope, not too late.

Woohoo! Thanks!

Maybe I should make myself a calendar reminder for next year.
