Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2018: The Real Bad Place Was The Friends We Made Along The Way  

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, 2018. You have a lot to turn around, 2019. Be a Good Place.

( continues...) a mile from me, have now moved 45 minutes to three hours away, two of them buying houses with their partners. So even if I could drive, it would still e hard to see them, what with the nesting and the twu wuv and such. So I'm feeling old and single and lonesome, and then hate that I am emanating that to the universe. I can hope that in 2019 I will heal, and will feel happier, and will attract better energy or whatever. Maybe work will go great, or I will get a new job. Maybe my planned trip to the women's World Cup in France will turn out sexy and amazing. Maybe I'll be dancing up a storm by this summer. I really really hope. Because the past several months have been full of a lot of suck, and I'm not sure how much more of that I can handle.

Punishingly Intricate

Sending love, meara. That's a really rough end to your year. I hope your recovery continues smoothly and 2019 ends up being fabulous for you.

Our wings are not tired.

May 2019 be filled with dancing and joy, meara.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

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

I hope your healing goes swiftly and smoothly and your World Cup trip is as awesome as it sounds like it would have to be to me, meara!

I think I'm not going to sum up my 2018. A bunch of stuff happened, no overarching direction or narrative throughline, though.

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

I have been thoroughly Secret-Santa'd with an additional box that contained all kinds of amazing goodies. Lotions and soaps and lip balms and little Altoids and a sheet mask and sunscreen and a WONDER WOMAN water bottle and chocolate and a thumb drive with music!

Thank you, msbelle, for such thoughtful gifts, especially during such a hectic time of year.

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

YAY! sorry it was late.

The soaps were in bags to try and keep them from infecting the chocolate with their scent. I realize I put no info regarding the music on the thumb drive did I? I think it is just a spattering of randomness.

No label on the thumb drive, so it was a delightful surprise.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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.

Dear ones, I just received my box from Santa. There are many lovely things in the box, and I am overwhelmed with love.

PS to my Santee, my apologies for lateness but the thing does exist and will be in the mail soon (Monday unless life gets weirder).
