You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Thanks. I'm pretty happy too.

I have some work to do for me as a student, including Don Quixote (yes, I'm reading Don Quixote!). And I have a paper to write. It's due end of January, but I would like to finish as much as I can before March when I go back to workk.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So here I was counting down for you, and you were being all hyperbolic and stuff.

Have a good flight Perkins!

I forgot to mention that the reason I caved on decorating my sister's tree is that one of her dogs is sick and they've been back and forth to the vet with her all week. I think they are hoping to put off putting her down until after Xmas.

That said, they already have a new puppy promised for the summer.

Well, it's not that interesting.

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

No. It's still an hour and a half before we take off. People just line up early.

You should have another drink for me though, since I can't anymore.

Thanks Sue!

Oh, I forgot from before:

a) What do people want for Christmas this year?

The practical thing that I realized I wanted after I had given everyone my lists is a dock with speakers for my iPod.

I've decided that the pie in the sky thing I want is to actually fall in love with someone who loves me for a change. I've had enough of either lopsided or unrequited crap.

b) What is your favorite present that you bought for someone else?

I made necklaces for several of my friends this Xmas that I was pretty proud of.

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

For Christmas I'd like good health and good sense.

A girl can dream. A girl will have to.

I miss The 11th Hour. Reading some of their pages makes me miss them more.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ah, I'd forgotten how good fresh, warm, slightly overdone turkey could taste. So very glad I went through all the trouble after all.

My Christmas karma balanced out today... I found a soft downy button-up jacket for my Dad on sale for $30 when my mom and cousin couldn't, but while wrapping discovered that Signals cancelled the plush toy for one of my best friend's kids from my order without bothering to tell me that on the shipping notice they sent 6 days ago. Also, the magic fortune cookie for one of my cousins arrived pre-broken, with a slow leak of the inky fluid inside. So much for ordering from them in the future.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I've decided that the pie in the sky thing I want is to actually fall in love with someone who loves me for a change. I've had enough of either lopsided or unrequited crap.

Oh! Oh! I want this too! But I have to get in line behind Sue and erikaj, I guess. They were first in line.
