So much so that I cannot so easily say this was not a bad year for me.
Here, let me say it for you. Your year sucked donkey balls.

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.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Um, was that unduly harsh? I meant it as funny-stuffy. Like, you know, Wesley on Buffy, before he was cool on Angel. Sorry.
Oh, no! I wasn't wowing your comments, so much as the whole conversation, which just epitomizes Buffistas (or Buffistae, as the case may be).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh good. You wowed, and disappeared. I worried, for I don't like to offend unintentionally.

My Seekrit Santa rocks 11 ways from Sunday. Truly - I have a wonderfully creative always-good calendar made of gorgeous blocks with months and dates and days painted on each side, a lovely card that made me chuckle, and a box that is marked 'part 1 of 11.' I may just hang out by the mailbox more.
Thank you Kat! You are made of awesome.
More to come...

I'm so far on b.org that I just read a few threads that don't post very often, so I'm not here every day (sigh, I miss it!). I'm sorry for leaving you hanging!

It is part one of 11. But, you have a couple of weeks until the next installment, so you can hang around the mailbox less. Then about four weeks until installment 3.
I'm stretching Christmas out this year.
Also, thank you for the beautiful notepad and the apt magnet that came along with my soap. Secret Santa, you rock!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Shoot! Ever since Kat posted the pic of her calendar project, I was hoping I was her Secret Santee. I'm jealous but I'm glad you get to enjoy it Sox! I love reading about the prezzies.

not just me - Iris keeps pulling it out and cackling like a mad despot while she looks at them and makes today different months - controlling time I guess. I have no idea why she does this, but I do know she loves them so.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Rats. I am starting to suspect that my parcel has gone astray in the mail. Although I'm clinging on to the thought that obviously things will be slower if they're sent at the festive season...still, the Royal Mail website reckons 12 days or so from the UK to the US, and I posted it...well, I'm not sure, but certainly before the 20th.

I'm going to wait a week or so, and then maybe send a new one, just to be sure. Stoopid post.
