I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Today's present, like Laura, is TOTALLY AWESOME. Fuzzy Christmas socks (they have red stripes and tinsel looking stripes!) that are aloe infused, so they moisturize when you wear them. I never want to take them off

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Aloe socks sound awesome!

So I will be packing up my box and sending it to my Secret Santee this Friday. Whee! For anyone shipping to me, I will be gone from Dec. 22 - Jan. 1, so I may not get to open my present until the new year. Our housesitter, my dear friend B, will taunt me with it, I'm sure.

Our wings are not tired.

I love and admire Lee for opening just one package a day and stretching out the fun.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

One year I found, and gave to my sister and several friends, socks that had knitted into them the message, "Dear Santa ... I can explain".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I could get that on my panties...

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

By the time Santa is in your panties there's no need to explain anything...

If that isn't a tag line, then I don't know what is.

You guys who can wait to open things are perplexing.
