Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The ornament came from the Christkindlmarket

I bought one of the bean ornaments this year.

a mug with my cover photo from Facebook of baby me and my parents, that says "Good Stuff Happens Every Day."

That's awesome.

I just got the last piece of my gift today so it should be packed up and shipped out not quite in time for Christmas, but not too terribly late.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm off to Michigan today, ice storms permitting. So if something arrives before Friday, I won't have a chance to thank anyone right away. Amyth will be by, though, so nothing's likely to linger out in the cold.

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

Total winter wonderland here. Which would be awesome if we're weren't about to drive 150 miles north.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Safe travels to those who are on the road today!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm at my parents' in Raleigh, but my roommates are home to receive any packages. I am a bit of a slacker, but planning to pay the slacker price as I mail it tomorrow.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'm going to mail my package tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I won't mail my package until Thursday, but I WILL mail it!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I arrived in Indiana to find packages awaiting me!

In one, there was yarny magnetic poetry, and TWO White-Dude-Lit-Fast-Compliant books (continuing the non-traditional tape pattern, this wrapping used blue electrical tape)! I am particularly excited about the James Baldwin, as I have read none of his stuff, but worked a show based on his life, so, yay!

ALSO! There was yarn! Pretty washable merino in honey colors. I will have to find a use for it.

Thank you, my elf!
