It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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!

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

WHAT.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I, for one, did not see this coming.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I do not think you people are actually trying.

That can't be right. Biyi assures me that on occasion I'm immensely trying.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I got a card from my not-secret-elf!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I got a package in the mail today from Consuela! It was a lovely assortment of gifts, including a flashlight keychain (highly useful), a deck of Cockney rhyming slang cards, a "Yay, Aliens!" magnet (already on my fridge), and a poetry journal. There was also a gorgeous print of a girl riding a dragon and flying a kite, and a wee thumb drive.

When I accessed thumb drive, I found it was FULL of BBC audio plays, audio books, vids (Scooby Road!) and other such goodies. I am so looking forward to browsing through this tomorrow while snowbound.

Thank you SO MUCH, Consuela!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

giant metal ostrich?

Anybody else misread this as "giant metal crotch"?

Just me?

Alrighty then.

Yay, Anne! I'm so glad it all arrived okay (I was a little worried about the print). I considered adding a fruitcake, but not everyone is into fruitcakes...

It was fun pulling it all together! I'm sorry I didn't do anything sneaky like other people do: I'm not quite organized enough to mail a series of packages from different parts of the country...

I considered adding a fruitcake, but not everyone is into fruitcakes...

I think Anne is one of the Buffistas who has sent out delicious fruitcakes to those who claim them, in the past.
