Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Happy Turkey Day, lovely Buffistas.

Catch y'all on the flip side.

...and with that, off to Maine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is precisely normal for me, since it's just a little earlier than I'd have woken up for work.

The funny part is Kristen and Kat sitting at the same table as I am, in their own early-morning Powerbook glows.

But they're gone now, and I'm all alone.

Well, at the table, anyway.

Please explain to the skipping skippppmpper how this happened.

My guess: you are all together someplace for a not-blood-related-family but rather good-friends-family for Thanksgiving. And now I hope that I'm right, because that would be lovely.

You are right, Nilly, and it is lovely. We're on Catalina Island for a few days.

It seems that one person per shared room is a morning person, so we're exiled to the half darkness of the dining room. Sun's rising, though.

Question is, can I take a shower in the other bathroom without messing with Kat's water supply? I probably shouldn't test that.

Wonderful.

Now, of course, I'm jealous. It reminds me of the Saturday afternoon we spent at Allyson's place when I was her guest, and I liked it so very much, I want a second round. I'll even promise not to fall asleep while people are still laughing and talking, right in front of theit faces. [Edit: no, wait, that was Friday evening. No promises, then, just jealousy, for me.]

Is it OK to ask who else is there?

I probably shouldn't test that.

That's the wise and considerate choice.

I always wake up early on holiday, I don't know why.

T-Day is already looking up, I've connected with some good folks who can fit me in around their big table. Plus, there may be Scrabble!!1!

This just in: I suck at icing cakes.

Yay! Glad you found a place to go, Theo.

Yay, Theo! (Also, their gain, at least as much as yours).

I suck at icing cakes.

My mom always used to say that "in the stomach you can't feel that it doesn't look so pretty". I'm sure it's yummy.
