I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I remembered you sleeping with me, but couldn't remember why!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's the joke! I knew there was a joke there, I just couldn't quite find it!

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

Thank you, Dana! I also could not find my way to the joke.

So, I feel like I'm seeing a lot of End of the Decade stuff and not any the-decade-actually-ends-next-year stuff. Is it out there and I'm just not seeing it or did the pedants all get tired?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I've seen a lot of end of decade stuff, but mostly on buzzfeed, which is my insomnia website.

I wrapped a lot of presents last night, but sadly I ran out of the gorgeous, thick, easy to use paper I bought. TCG did the cards. We were on opposite ends of our dining table both listening to our audiobooks with headphones.

Aw, that sounds so nice and Norman Rockwell-y!

I am having intense deja vu overhearing my coworkers discussing our response to UPS/FedEx delays cause to high volume. I think they may have had this exact conversation last year. I know we had the same problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As a former pedant, I gave up on that fight in 2000.

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

I've seen one post about it, but yeah, I think people are mostly letting this one go.

I kinda miss it. I mean, I have pretty much let "decimate" go, but it makes a little wistful every time I don't say anything, you know?

Pendantic nostalgia, who knew?
