One Year On...

[Evil Alpaca]

That's right, keep riding that red sleigh on down to the village of Slutsville.

I think she has her own parking spot in the red light district . . .

She just wants to go where EVERYBODY knows her name . . .

NOT funny.

Much apologies, truly nobly and naughty one.

S'ok.

Anyway, back to jolly Christmas stuff and reflecting on the past year: I've had a goodun!

 

[ABSTRUSE]

NOT funny.

I thought it was.

Okay, cheery Christmas shit huh?

Did you know Santa has a dungeon?

You would.

I gotta admit now, publicly, that I was rather hasty and it was amusing. But, it's also been a good way to have a private chat with the wickedly Evil Alpaca, and get to know him better, so I don't regret not laughing initially.

I'm just a bit sensative sometimes (yes I am!!!!).

Of course I know Santa has a dungeon. I invented it.

I'm not allowed what I want for Christmas.

*pouts*

You gotta admit though, love, a whole rugby team is a bit much to expect.

You sissy.

You know what I love? the sound of Jingle bells.

I only wanted one of them! And one of the tech support guys... LOL

That I am.

Yep, that is a cool sound. I have some here, on some toy reindeer antlers, but one fell off.

LOL! Well, it's not fair you can't have them then!

It's the sound of Christmas, just like hearing certain songs gives you that mood.

 

[Guest]

Jingle those bells, like you've never jingled them before.

 

[lewdandlicentious]

Thank you.

You're welcome honey!!!

Re: Re: One Year On...

You're welcome honey!!!

*MWAH!*

 

[Kassiana]

Mm. Is it evil that all I'm thinking about now, after reading this thread, is ham? I love a good ham. Oven-roasted and warm, there's nothing better. The crisp, salty flesh, the savory sweetness of the meat ... oh, man, I need a snack, I think. No cookies here, but maybe I can snitch some chocolate.

Chocolate's Christmassy, right?

 

[doormouse]

Thank you.

OMG a year??

And I'm looking at one entire week with my fella lol

Congrats!!

 

[Lord DragonsWing]

Why should that bother you Mouse You fucked everyone else for years.

 

[Guest]

Just one request from me, to both of you: stay the hell out of this thread with your row, ok?

Thank you.

Doormouse, thanks for your congrats, I hope you can find whatever it is you're looking for.

One year on.........phew.......what a year.

It's been a roller coaster of emotions, disappointments, fear, anxiety, at times incredible loneliness and heart-searching....I've shed more tears than I thought it was possible for one peron to shed....but....I've come through it, I'm smiling again, my life is moving on........thanks in no small measure to the wonderful people I have met on Lit, the incredibly supportive friends I have made...my cyber family.

This will be the first Christmas of my new life.......and despite the strangeness of it all....I'm really looking forward to it. With bells on.

*raising my glass to you all, with my thanks.

To friends.

Beautiful, Mat. Thank you.

I'm sorry Lou, but I didn't deserve that.

Since when have i said anything against his remarks?

Your sentence caught my imagination, Mat. Congrats on your 'new' Christmas, and all the best in the new year.

I've had many a "first Christmas of my new life". Some I dreaded (and survived obviously), some were milestones. I reckon it says something about Christmas that it can have such an effect on a life, just one day in the year, eh?

This Christmas, as you know, I'll be in my favourite place on earth. It's where I feel most myself and find great peace and beauty everywhere. Then I'll be meeting good friends in the new year, and trust I will find a new place of joy and good will.

Wishing the same for everyone here.

This past year I’ve discovered what it’s like to have a real job.
I also discovered that it isn’t any easier than my ‘pretend’ job at McDonald’s was, lol.

I’ve done some soul searching, and although I’m not quite finished, I’m pleased with the progress I’ve made.

I’ve discovered that I can’t let the situation with my father ruin my life. I can’t get bogged down with negative feelings, hurt and disappointment.
I was really making myself miserable there for a while.
I’ve learned I can’t change people, no matter how hard I try, so I need to accept them as they are.

I’ve discovered that turning 21 and being able to buy my own alcohol is a dangerous thing, LOL.

Here recently, I learned that things will eventually have to change. Traditions can’t be what they’ve always been.
My Great-grandma is in the nursing home doing rehabilitation. So our Christmas eve celebration will be at the nursing home. We can’t have our family party without Greatma!
(Not the first time that’s happened though; I had my 18th birthday party at the nursing home too, lol.)

I’ve learned that my step mom, (ex-step mom actually) is one of my best friends.
My little sister thinks I’m the cat’s meow, and wants to be just like me when she grows up, lol.

I’ve made new friends, lost old ones, and in general, I’ve grown.
As a person, as a friend, as a daughter, and as a professional.

The year of 2004 has had it’s ups and downs, but everything happens for a reason, and I’m grateful of that. The ‘downs’ have been learning experiences.

I plan on treasuring this Christmas, and marching into the year of 2005 with my head held high~ ready and willing for anything life can throw at me.
