and i'll drink to that!!! hello chaps and chapettes!!!! long time no
turn on. the computer that is; gawd doc sam, some things never
change... thank good ole st nick. well, how are we all? all done with
the spending vast sums of money on completely useless gifts that you
wouldn't buy for yourself so why on earth you'd buy them for a friend
is beyond me and why didn't i start this a month ago, i've been doing
this for about 25 years won't i ever learn and i saw that parking
space first you old bag and do i *look* as if i'd be asking for a 38DD
for myself and ohmigod is that christmas cards in the glove box not
the mailbox and these people haven't sent me a card in years so i
didn't and now they have and i can't believe i left my check card at
the gumboot-and-dead-flies-on-pins-to-stick-in-your-hat department at
gi joes and but you had *loads* of them last week and have i really
been standing in line for 17 minutes for an orange julius part of the
year that we love so much???? aaah yes, joyfilled greetings of the
season to you all, you crazy bunch of wardsters. 

i've been spending a lot of time in the banana guacamole filled
whirlpool of late, down on o-ward; that is, the "ward" outside. ugh.
after recovering from me trip back 'ome, i've been working all out
with the art work and it's just starting to take off. i'm actually in
the black for the first time since i began in january, so i'm very
pleased. i'm going to share a lime jello with dearoled with the
profits. i now have me stuff in 4 stores, with 4 more in the pipeline
and i made an overall profit on the booth at a craft mall i've had for
the past 4 months. i sold 2 of my most expensive mandalas in 3 weeks
and had a 100% of dream catchers sell in 24 hours!!!!! gawd, it used
to be failure that was frightening - now it's sucess.....

anyway, i've been reading about once a week and decided it was time to
return and share some egg nog with all me mates on the ward. jeep,
hope you sped the happy trails safely and had a *riot* in denver. what
a hoot - i wish i could've been there. rodders, the birthday card was
very revealing..... only you could send such an item through the public
mail system... ;-). stiffen, if you've recovered from your broken
heart, meet me behind the bike sheds and i'll pull your christmas
cracker...... studmuffette, glad to hear the mini-m is doing well, jlj
how are you me dear? up to your buns in snow yet? ribabe - no need to
ask how *you're* keeping warm this first christmas of your wedded
life... babydoll, does spike get a christmas stocking? mum2, is it
twice as worse christmas shopping for 2 new babies??? kathi bustya,
are you still out there??? humble, groveling apologies for being out
of the picture for so long; it's been a wild year. i would still love
to get together. special k, whilst i was in the aforementioned gi joes
today, i saw a pocket size battery charger; i thought you might like
it for your electric pickle? then you wouldn't have all of those
tedious interuptions to your "class" when the batteries run out. (the
check clerk must have thought i was soft in me 'ead the way i was
cackling when i saw it on the rack...). and to all the rest of you,
too numerous to mention so i won't, i've been glad to see you when i
login to escape the madness. what a bloody hoot - *you* lot are my
sanctuary of sanity! 

whatever your beliefs, be good to yourselves during this special time
on the wheel of the year. try and carry the warmth and friendship that
you will meet in the next few days into the coming year to spread to
others. for me, this is a time of the return of the light with the
"birth" of the sun. the days get longer, the light grows. i hope you
all see some of that light in your lives in 1993. 

i went to a winter solstice ceremony last night; i'm going to the
midnight service at the local baptist church on christmas eve. the
ancient and more recent traditions of my ancestors. whatever you're
doing - have a hoot doing it!!!

and a very merry season to those of you who can't stand all that ward
d crap - i'll even say something about the show in this post. i'm
feeling magnaninous - and besides, after 7 eggnogs, i'll say anything.
I MUST SAY I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY WHEN CHILLY ACTUALLY ACTED,
BUT BY JOVE I SAW IT YERSTERDAY. she was quite brilliant. granted, i
had had 5 g&t's playing the drinking game (which started off this
whole post, thanks will and laura!), but it still looked good to me. i
was gripped. the tension was amazing when the horror sunk in and she
started to lay ito the 3 stooges. i liked it that it left them all
speechless and not whimpering excuses and justifications. she did not
collapse in a snivelling faint - she stood her ground and did what i
hoped she'd do - tore them each a new a**hole. she was icily
controlled and just SPAT those words out; laying out THE TRUTH. "who
were you *really* trying to protect?" i was also glad that she treated
them all with equal contempt and they were all made to face the
responsibility of their individual actions. she was *right* in
everything she said, which was what made it so powerful for me. if you
can stop barfing and howling with laughter when you think back over
the sequence of events, their actions probably have ruined her life
with holdem. i think i'd be pissed. but then you remember him with a
condom on his head and you feel like yelling "you're btter off without
the dick'ead. i also though the afterscenes were good - sighva going
home to enema and flinching away when enema tried to hug her when she
started the story, was very realistic. i spose now enema will be all
supportive of sighva and will be instrumental in making the peace
between her and chilly. and when juicy was crying at home; i thought
this was quite moving. usually i laugh when she does an "upset" scene
cos it's so overdramatic and unemotional, but this was very realistic.
and as much as i hate to say it, i found scooter's very tender
reaction to her, well done. gawd, i *must* have been quite ripped by
this time; i was at that weepy stage, y'know?? anyway, i haven't been
affected by whirley whirld like this in a loooooong time - let's hope
they keep the stuff going for a while.

okay you lot, line up for pantomime rehearsal. rodknee!!! those bells
are supposed to be tied around your *hat*....  doc sam - i'm quite
partial to a man in a uniform, will you wear that santa's helper
costume to my room tonite?  and all of those who have volunteered to
deck the balls - er halls - with holly, will get an extra festive red
and white striped pill with tea this evening. eat! drink! do drugs!
but STAY HOME!!!
