I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2006: You're ON THE LIST!!!
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 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Megan- I am so sorry about Jimmy! I always loved hearing you talk about him and seeing pictures on lj.
I am also leaping to post that I have slacked the first time I did regular Secret Santa- and my gift for my Santee will be coming next week rather than, you know, tomorrow. I just barely got my family done in time!

Thanks Sophia. Our house seems so empty without our Jimmy the Cat.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I do think of amych and Plei as almost part of a "class" year of people who delurked around the same time. Fay and Herself did as well, but I had forgotten since I see them less frequently. I had lurked at TT (and posted once, even) and then lurked at WX too, so that's how I found the place.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Megan, I'm sorry about your Jimmy.

Megan, my heart goes out to you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Megan, I am so sorry about your cat.
**** So I was very good, and waiting until this morning to open my Secret Santa present...
(Okay, that's not quite true. There were a WHOLE BUNCH of presents inside a nice fuzzy stocking, so I let myself open one on Saturday, and one last night, but it's mostly true.)
but now I can report that my Secret Santa Suzi is MADE OF CHRISTMAS AWESOME. I got sushi bandaids (and I was just about to have to order more), sushi coasters, the Food and Wine Cocktail 2006 book, a neat set of stationary, a gorgeous beaded ornament (that Perkins the Cat is not allowed to eat, much to his dismay), and mini bottles of vodka, whiskey and Fernet (and how impressed am I that you managed to find a mini bottle of Fernet?)
Thank You sweetie!

Yay! Glad you liked your stocking! And I'm very impressed with your restraint!

move out and draw fire
Megan, my condolences.
How did people find us at WX anyway? Did we leave a trail of crumbs from TT or did we just come up on Buffy searches?
I lurked at WX, but I don't remember how I found it. I'd read TT as well, but I don't think I put it together that the WX people were also people I'd read on TT. I think I may have delurked on WX, but just to ask a question, and I lurked right back up again (I have an issue with commitment).
This year has been up and down, mostly because of my friends. My family, small as it is, is pretty wonderful, although we are clearly at a transition point as the year draws down. Mallory has been so much fun this year, and continually easier and less terrifying to take care of. I speak Greek a whole lot better than I did a year ago. I'm working full time, I like my job, and we should be able to afford a house next summer. I got to see lots of you people in May, which rocked beyond the telling.
What negatives I can list in my own life are so insignificant next to things that some of those I care about have faced this year that I should really count them as positives. My friends have dealt with things that would break me, so my prayer as the year turns from dark to light is for them to have a gentle, kind year with joy rather than sorrow.
