I've been trying to decide if I have anything particular to say about 2010. I had thought that there was really nothing but I think I was wrong. About this time two years ago I hit a major low and started going to therapy and when I started I'd go and have very upsetting sessions (which would leave me full of thought and stuff) but now - I go and I realize that I'm happy and thinking forward. I have to say that if you aren't me - everything looks kind of the same but I think change is happening from the inside out and I am a much happier person that I was. It makes sense that it would happen that way since I am an introvert and I believe that internal changes will beget external ones. So 2010 has been a good year of change for me.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
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 2010? We have a few words for you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
sumi, that's wonderful. And it hasn't gone unnoticed. There's been a noticeable positive change in the tone of your posts. It's good to hear that it's part of a more general good change in your life.

Wow, I didn't realize that you could sense that change. That is really good to know.

That's super great to hear, sumi. Good for you for going through the work it takes.

My gift has arrived! Well, technically it arrived a few days ago, but in a mail receptacle other than the one the postman left notice of, so it took a bit to clear up the confusion. Someone who remains very secretive sent me a Winchester Brothers T-shirt and a great Better Off Ted DVD set. Thanks Slacker Santa!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
In excellent but ironic news, my Santa was also my Santee. Matt sent me Bellagio hot cocoa (in a bag that is explicitly not a toy), candy penguins (penguins!), Earth: The Book, and a Rally to Restore Sanity pin (which is especially awesome since I did not get any swag at the rally!)
Thank you!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Shir, as part of my fundraising for 826 Valencia, your Slacker Secret Santa has made a donation and asked me to dedicate a limerick to you as part of your gift. And here it is:
Shir's blog is now changing the world.

So cool. I love Valencia 826 and think they're awesome (got myself a t-shirt from there, when I was in SF), and, Santa, you just wowed me. You've made my morning with the news and the limerick.
Thank you!

Seriously awesome. P-C, you are a rhyming rockstar. That may be the best limerick I've ever read.
