Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better  

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. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That poster made me tear up in the best of all possible ways.

I want to know whose picture was the heart-shaped pizza. It made me giggle.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That's a beautiful, awesome poster. Perfect for Scola.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Awesome.

Also awesome - the delicious sweet/salty corn puffy stuff I am currently stuffing my face with. I didn't know what it was but my sister made grabby hands as soon as it came out of the wrapping. When I get tired of that (ha!) I can choose from yummy chocolates, some hiding blueberries within, and fantastic blueberry acai gummies. Then I can put on my cunninglovely knit hat. Meantime Darby is very glad to have her own tasty treats.

Analysis: Anne rocks!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Steph, I almost didn't take a pic of myself, so I found that and the lego image to use, but then I decided to make the poster bigger and put them in.
