Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...  

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.

Buh bye, 2014.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, I've been LDB'd ... waiting for the bus last night, a guy in the rail station was playing a trumpet. Bits and pieces of holiday songs - two or three lines from one song, then two or three from another ... but the LDB was recognizible.

And FedEx seems to have lost the one and only present I sent off (not to a Buffista, but still ....)

Can it be 2015 now? I'd really like a fresh start.

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

I am concerned that packages I sent last week are not received.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My BFF's most special, nigh-irreplaceable present was delayed over two weeks from sending to delivery. We were sure it was lost. The day we decided to call and file a claim, it showed up. No idea what happened. But it wasn't damaged, so we figured it got lost under a chair somewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got a package from amyth! With many lovely things in it! I'm saving the wrapped ones for later, but I already see great-smelling teas and omNom chocolate (which I saw for sale in Iceland!) and a big-ass candy cane! Thanks!!

Oh yay! I'm so glad it actually got there on the day they said it would!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am about to get on a plane, so I won't be around to open packages until the 28th.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Heard back from the guy who hosted the less-than-awesome party with the predatory towtruck - the earring has been found! Yay, tiny redemption of crapstorm day!

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

If something arrives for me this week it will sit safely in my office until I return on Monday.

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

So far I’ve gotten, if I’m counting correctly, twelve postcards from my Secret Santa, from various places across the country.
