Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also got a dumpster fire 2016 ornament from smonster! SO PERFECT. Thank you!

I have all the things assembled to send a gift to my Elfster-select, and will be able to mail it on Friday. Sorry for the delay!

Our wings are not tired.

Yesterday I was gifted by the lovely Santameara but I waited until this morning while sipping delicious Chocolate Chili Chai to post the pictures. [link] Penzey's spice, because spice is life, and silicone mini muffin pans that I have been wanting to try, and more pretty silicone kitchen utensils too! And chocolate! Thank you so much for the awesome gifting!

Timing was perfect! I was too crazed over December to properly enjoy. I am looking forward to trying out the silicone pans. Thank you!

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

I've messaged some of you and I know several gifts are en-route, but if you have not received a gift, could you email me or PM me on FB?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I put my gift in the mail today, so I hope my poor giftee will have joy soon.

2016 sucked a lot on the macro and micro levels. I ate my depression so my doctor will not be happy with me when I have my physical next week. I blame Trump.

I just can't spell out what sucked for me personally. It's still too depressing to think about. But, I'm still here and I still have you guys, that helps in so many ways.

general hugs around, we all need them.

Got a surprise calendar in the mail today. Thank you Java cat.

I also got a calendar, and earrings! I laughed out loud at the note on the calendar, which is of tattoos, that said "only two of the months are guys!"

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Thank you to my C. Kret Santa for the wonderful "Buffy staked Edward" tshirt that was waiting for me when I got back to work last week! I saw the Redbubble package and got so!excited! 'cause Redbubble always means awesomeness. :-D Also, the FIVE pairs of socks that I ordered with the gift certificate came in yesterday, and suddenly the coming week is going to be so much better. (Pics in the b.org FB group.)

(ETA: msbelle told me there was also a donation made in my name--I never saw the email, maybe it landed in my junk box?--but thank you for that too!)

And I totally forgot to thank the Buffista Elf for the hilarious Cats Against the World expansion pack for Cards Against Humanity! Gotta get a card game together so I can see how these babies play out. :-D Thank you, msbelle!
