Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

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.

Go away, 2016.

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

Should we design one and start marketing it? Is this the ploy to earn us millions and get us Buffista compound?

I got a box with an elephant ornament recycled from an oil drum, a bag of soup mix I'm already plotting how to use, and chocolate bars. Plus, the gift helped with many acres of rainforest, and I will take all of the good news I can get.

Thanks, erika!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

But I hope you like them both!

I do! Thank you very much!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thank you for the card, Suzi! Brightened my day.

Always Anti-fascist!

You are welcome, Dana & Msbelle. I love those elephants...I have one on my own tree right now, AIFG. I always *mean* to do something nice for Msbelle for hosting, but I think about it after the fact, and then I usually don't have the money anymore...it's always good when timing and manners align. ETA: we love that soup mix and also that the company itself gives jobs to women from tough situations.They also have mixes for other things that I buy sometimes. Year in review? maybe I'll wait a bit.

Well, okay, why not. This has been a decent year for me personally, if it did piss me off on the macro level a lot.Doing lots of stuff with PDA...hopefully a few things that will make me feel a little less like the 6,000 year-old intern, although they are nice people and I don't mind doing interny things for them. Made a little money, did a little dating(nothing serious, but we still like each other) and found out new kitty is part ragdoll and part Sacred Cat of Burma, which means she is cute, blue-eyed and soft-spoken and will never yowl like a siamese. Still chasing my writing goals. Maybe I could be happy if I could get rid of the thought that this was the life I wanted at, like, nineteen, mangled in shipment.(Which also intensifies the "I'm sixteen and I don't want to die," geopolitical feels...I want the next part, however settled contents may be. Also, Arpaio's gone soon.)

Because books.

I got an awesome card from Suzi, and also a sweet card from msbelle! AND a fantastically wonderful gift from my Secret Santa! (Who is not so secret anymore, but that's totally okay.)

I got the most gorgeous knitted eternity scarf in green with all kinds of accent color flecks, a beautiful basket of French truffles, and the Best Socks Ever (TM), which read "I had fucks to give ... once." Thank you, Secret Santa!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Cards! msbelle, Suzi, Toni I LOVE YOU NICE PEOPLES!

Oh god, the truffles. This could be dangerous.
