Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

I'm sorry, Karl. Strength to your family.

I'm so sorry. He sounds like a wonderful human. People like that are always worth it, even when it's too short. Love to you and your family.

Our wings are not tired.

Erika! We got your card. It brightened my day, thank you.

Those cards with the reindeer eating the chile were cute, huh?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Karl, I am so sorry.

Me again: thank you, Erika!

I got the Amazon package and opened it and thought, "huh, I don't remember ordering this" and then I saw the manifest!

It looks like there are quite a few things I'm going to want to make for my kitty - so it's like a present for her too.

Meanwhile: not to my secret santee - I have part of my gift to you and should be getting another bit of it this week but probably won't be mailing it until after Christmas Day. Unless I get it really early this week. REALLY early.

Signed: Slacker for a reason.

ETA: off to add my new book, Kitty Knits to my Ravelry library!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Even though I'm not yet slacking in sending my gift (it should go out this week), I've totally been slacking in acknowledging getting a gift! Last week I received a box of fair-trade Darjeeling tea! Thank you, Secret Santa!!!

ohthankgoodness. My first year in the non-slacker exchange, and I was worried I was going to blow the deadline.
