MERRY CHRISTMAS~!~!!!♥

December 24th, 2009

Ok, obviously Santa is an extradimensional being who exists in all human perceived spaces at once and manifests on certain points when certain astral alignments and belief are present in sufficient quantity. It only makes sense. NORAD tracks Santa on Christmas Eve, and that's good enough for me to arbitrarily decide that he exists to some degree. Insert your own political joke here.

My parents told me the Santa story, and I watched all the specials and everything. But I read the Oz books too. No one came around and told me No, it's all totally really real!, it just went in the mental "Hey, could be!" box that all kids carry until they acquire enough experience to separate reality, possiblity, and total nonsense. Madboy was raised the same way, with no real emphasis on Santa. Sure, we all did the stockings on Christmas morning, and had the occasional present "from Santa"-- but we all still do that. It's just fun, part of the day. It's no sillier than putting a dead tree up in the living room with lights on.

So, who actually got the Santa con? Did anyone? How old were you when you found out, and how did you find out?

And does venison really make a good stocking stuffer? Looks like I might find out this year...

Wow...

I think this makes ubuntu reinstall number... five? Six? I've lost count. I wonder when I'll find a version with sound that works. It was easy enough to just grin and bear the lack of sound, but I jacked up the system again trying to use various fixes.

Goodbye hardy heron. I will never miss you.

It's weird how quiet it is over here.

GOD, COULD THEY MAKE THIS ANY MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND?!
I've had a number of friends and family lose people they love the past couple years. Spouses, partners, children, parents, siblings, friends...people who make up the cornerstones of their lives. I know the holiday season can be incredibly difficult as it is but so much more so when someone so important to you is missing. I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning, and of all of you that I know who are going through this, and I just wanted you all to know that I'm thinking about you and sending you strength and (for those that want them) prayers. I know it's not much, but know you are not forgotten and that I am wishing you happy memories instead of the painful ones. And if you ever need to talk, I am here.

Peace be with you.

I met the hematologist on Friday.  I'm not entirely sure about her.  She clearly knows her stuff and she's not rude or unfriendly, but I never felt fully at ease with her.

Cut for length and info )

I love you all.
