You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Another fun bro story:

One Christmas we spent at Disney World. I asked my brother, James how Santa would find us. He said, "Who cares? We're at Disney World!!!"

When we were grown I related the story back to James and he said, "Wow, cool. I'm suprised I didn't say, 'there's no Santa Claus!'"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We always get presents from Santa when we're at my (Catholic side of the family) grandparents' house, but I don't ever remember being young enough not to realize that Granddaddy's handwriting and Santa's were exactly the same.

On the other hand, we also get presents from Golo, who is the giant that lives in Granddaddy's head. Golo is far more real than Santa.

You just reminded me that my brother's kids also receive gifts from "The Cheeky Elves." Last year the cheeky elves left a pair of Santa's underwear.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Instantly wants a Golo

This reminds me of my father's "evil twin" who lived in the basement, but would come out when the boy next door was over. He was very convincing.

There's a whole menagerie that goes along with him, the most talkative being Sven and Olaf the Norwegian rats. They recite poetry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sven and Olaf the Norwegian rats. They recite poetry.
This is the most awesome thing ever.

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

Golo sounds awesome.

Tom, I hope you had have found something for you niece by now, and that the rest of the weekend=less stress.

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

I want a Golo. Not necessarily in *my* head. But in general.

Taught class today. I think it went pretty well. I'm picking up an assload of classes covering for people on vacation, plus I now have three classes on the schedule. I think I am for real.

Tom, yes, hoping what everyone else, that you are having a peaceful if not fun time.

Okay, now I must prep my nails. Krav girl disappeared before I could paint her nails. Je suis bereft.

Nails prepped.

I expect my definition of religious symbology derives from "if a vampire would recoil from it"...

Do you think a vampire would be more likely to recoil from a yarmulkah than a Mogan David? I'd totally be thrusting the Star in front of me, if I believed. NSM a menorah or a prayer shawl.
