holidays; discreet request 

“Thanksgiving’s always been a little bit bewildering to me because it’s not a religious holiday. When your family gets together, there are a few things that you do, but most of the time it’s about food preparation.” -- Joel Hodgson

No plans for Thanksgiving, nor adjacent holidays. I'm basically comfortable with this. I eat enough during the rest of the year. Whatever the rest of you do, have fun, and if it's local... don't feel any particular need to tell me about it.

(Yes, the above is an oblique request not to talk to me about Bandaza. Also, please cw anything pertaining to it. I request as much emotional distance from the entire event as you can provide. I have plenty of feeling surrounding the whole thing, and I suspect discussing them wouldn't make anybody any happier. If you're in town for it and want to hang out separately, feel free to ping me, but I will probably be hiding out somewhere on the actual day.​)

(Though a simple "I'm so sorry this all happened this way, Kin" would not be taken badly.)

*Hugs softly*

I shall be in Detroit, trying to find yet another new arcade to try out.

re: holidays; discreet request; 💔 

@zebratron2084 I'm not the person to be doing the apologizing, but I'm still sorry it all happened this way, hon. *sends hugthoughts* this year my birthday is on a Saturday, wee! I will be *mumblesomething* years old! :D ... no really I forget and have to do the math. XD

re: holidays; discreet request; 💔 

@troodon *hugs* Thanks, though, that still means a lot to me. I do want Kristy and Jessie to share in the sympathy, too-- this ain't a matter of blame, just a matter of ugly, ugly fate and badly time mutual failure states.

What exact day's your birthday? ^__^

I'm 43. Some part of my brain is just all too aware I'm 43, and it won't let me forget either. :>

re: holidays; discreet request; 💔 

@zebratron2084 the 24th. I'm always amused in the years when my birthday is Turkey Day. XD I will be... *um does some math* forty... seven, I believe. edging my way up to the half-century mark, and strangers are *still* asking me "what's your major?" ah, the eternal youth of never having reproduced... =^____^=
