No words about the year yet. however, I do want to put a link to the explanation about my gift for my secret santa. If you haven't gotten one yet, it might be because I have been a slacker and I had a really hard time getting pieces of this to work. So no fear. It's coming!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on."
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 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Heh. And you are not the only one, Kat! Um, but I haven't bought presents for my own family yet either.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Barb. I know your industry situation bites, and I'm so sorry. But I do have to say I'm so thrilled you did delurk here. You really bring a great added dimension to us. And after so many years of seeing your comments on other peoples' ljs, you were already a beloved and valued friend by the time you became active here. Glad you made the leap.

“Not dead yet!”
Thanks, Liese-- having this community has meant the absolute world to me this year. Perhaps there was a certain method to my madness after all.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I don't know what 2008 has against my car, but I'm kinda sick of the grudge.
Yo, it's not a Ferrari, '08! It's not even a Mustang! It's a goddamn mini-van and we can't take your hate! Back the fuck off the mom-mobile or there will be...consequences.
Granted, the consequences will be me drunkenly celebrating your inevitable end.
BUT IT'S A CONSEQUENCE JUST THE SAME! BEWARE!

Just catching up...
Oh, and I met a cute woman the other night who gave me her email address. Wish me luck.
Ermmm.... anyone I know...?

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, we're gonna want details, Tom. And I am super unhappy that I won't be hearing them in person!
