So, I was thinking this the other week at work, and I figured - when I remembered talking to Kat earlier tonight - that I should say something here, too.
antigone_ks,
glimmergirl,
izzybeth,
katrin,
katrielle and
mishloran: the end of last month marks six years since I first joined WAAS, hot on the heels of having joined RPC, and so it's been over six years that I've known all you guys now. And seriously, how freaking awesome is that? I've MET all of you, I've been to the homes of, well, half of you, I've met the parents or siblings or both of- most of you, again, and together we've laughed, cried, shrieked, traveled, traumatised other tourists, driven, flown, trained and generally, in our various permutations, had a fucking awesome time in SEVEN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES at one time or another. So cheers to you, and to Mike Stackpole and Aaron Allston for bringing us together, and (grudgingly) even to Mr George Lucas, before he LOST HIS MIND. Not that I'm bitter. Anyway: I love you guys.
And this is the first calendar year since 2001 that I haven't got to see Izzy, at least and that? SUCKS GOATS FOR SHILLINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN LEGAL TENDER ANYMORE. I'm just sayin'. I have permission to, uh, vanish for two weeks next year as long as it's a not auditing time, so hopefuLly I'll get to see some if not all of you then. In the mean time? Anyone who wants to come visit me? FEEL FREE KAY?
And now I'm gonna read something quickly and then go hog the bath and read something on paper because tiiiiiiiiired.
Oh, and we have a Real Tree for the first time in, god, about twenty years, right? So the cat's already going stir crazy about OMGPINESCENT! and is trying to eat it. Funtimes ahead, ahoy. *has pictures* *for later* *really!*
