I still cannot believe Holli is a full-on adult with her own business and publishing career!
I went to a lovely holiday party last night (did take a covid test in advance), and over-indulged in seven fishes and lovely holiday cookies. Now I am baking the maple-walnut pie for tonight's dessert, and in a minute I will take the dog out for a much-needed walk. Later we will do breakfast and presents at my sister's house.
Aargh! I know I am getting old when I mix up Holli with shrift’s “real name”. I was so shocked when I learned it.
I discovered the buffista random quote generator and sought out the people who made the funny.
My origin story as well. I didn’t lurk for long.
Vortex was on Salon and got me to join in late 1999.
I made monkey bread prepped last night and put in the oven this morning, and it is delicious.
Merry Christmas/Happy Last Sunday of 2022 from a surprisingly balmy Seattle (50 F). I'm glad the ice melted in time for Christmas but my body is confused about no longer needing multiple layers and a puffy coat to venture outside.

Love to be out here in these streets giving incongruity.
Just went for a dip in the rooftop pool! It’s a balmy 20 degrees (F) outside with light snow. Wonderfully contradictory sensations.
Holli now refers to herself as a fandom old on Tumblr, which I guess is technically accurate but still makes me feel dead.
And yet, you and shrift are still 23!
I joined the Phoenix board in 2002, I think. I lurked for a while, jotting post numbers on scrap paper so I could find my place in threads before I realized the board would do that for me if I joined. I think NoiseDesign and I delurked the same evening while talking about it on AIM.
