Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

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

Art Crawl!!!
Penguins!
I was such a slacker that I missed the boat on the Slacker Seekrit Santa thingy.
So far I have what I think is an excellent Christmas Present for one niece and NOT an excellent present for the other.

Because books.
Yay for shiny new thread!
Also, sending out my Secret Santa gift today, for which I am feeling rather virtuous. As it's the only thing I'm likely to get accomplished today, I figure I should embrace the feeling.

Sumi is me. I've barely been around enough to feel like a Buffista this year, anyway, so.

Usually I try to find the good in each year rather than concentrate on the bad.
This year.
Not so much.
May 2006 remind me that there are good things in the world and a couple of them can happen to me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am happy with this year. I have a new job which I like, am making real money, and am not crushingly depressed more than once a month.
I got a new kitty, who fights with my other cat and cuddles with her and me, and makes me laugh muchly.
My family is healthy and ok.
I have gotten laid more this year than any other year of my life.
I bought two new pairs of shoes this fall. For the first time in three years.
And next year, thank GOD, there are no wedding scheduled. Unlike the 4 I had this year.

Ok, so you guys likely know I didn't do Secret Santa this year...well, times are tight, and I seem to lack that fab instinct that y'all seem to have for putting the right stuff in the box, instead of the instinct that says "huh. huh. She said "box." So this year I decided to acknowledge ALL my online bunkies with a contribution here; [link] They are dedicated to keeping my fake hometown pretty, and you guys have been very warm and understanding about that particular obsession so it seemed appropriate. Click on the link about Ella Thompson if you want to know what inspired my interest in this *particular* project. Happy holidays!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Hey, I worked for an affiliated program of theirs, Erika--URI works both in Baltimore and in New Haven, so I was involved when I was at Yale. I can't speak specifically for the folks in Baltimore, but the New Haven program was great, and I took a really interesting course from the guy who started URI.
So, thanks. Good memories.
