I would like to take this moment to wish all of you good cheer on this very special occasion!

Indeed, as you all know, tomorrow marks the day that some of our more influential ancestors figured was the most likely candidate for the day when Our Lord And Savior was circumcised, give or take a few weeks for date drift over the millenia, which they decided was as good a time as any to put the beginning of the year. At a time when the sun is not quite at its furthest from us, but is close enough that we count it as the end of the night because it's more convenient bookkeeping to decree universal times across roughly-hour-wide political boundaries, we will celebrate by lighting up the sky with ancient stolen technology.

Until then, I'm gonna get shitfaced. Here's hoping for the world making an ounce of sense during some small part of 2014.

There are less significant things to commemorate, I guess. [ Actually kind of a big deal for some people but she knows it's not everyone who... even cares. ]

Anyways I'd be up for the world even trying to make sense at this rate, but I'm not holding my breath.

Marina Santana.

I'd do some resolutions, but I don't think I accomplished any of the ones I made last year.

[dragon_blossom]

Me neither. I'm none too good at those sorts of things.

I'm like, fifty-fifty on Lent.

[two_stones]

I don't even try with Lent. Every time Jesus thinks about me, he weeps with inconsolable sorrow at the sinful fall of mankind.

[dragon_blossom]

...you're exaggerating, but in a very poetic way.

And you don't sound at all broken up about it.

[counterclock]

hi my name is sara and i'm a special snowflake who knows more than you about bullshit you don't give a shit about wanna hear about my substance abuse problems

[two_stones]

I was going to invite you to join me, but clearly your strong moral integrity forbids you to partake in such sinful activities.

[counterclock]

i was going to spend my nye praying for the souls of the lost the homeless and the homosexuals

[two_stones]

But not trans-species individuals? Typical.

[counterclock]

see the praying means i have faith that there's hope of redemption
those trans weirdos ain't got nothin going for em

[not_good_not_wicked]

On my planet we just shorten that to "happy New Years."

[two_stones]

Making any resolutions for the new year?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Yeah. I'm going to learn Japanese, and decode those notes.

[two_stones]

How unexpectedly diligent of you, unless you're just in it for the secrets to unknowable arcane might.

[not_good_not_wicked]

What else would I be in it for!?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Sounds about right.

[two_stones]

Doing anything fun to celebrate this auspicious occasion.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Probably stuck with the foster parents.

[two_stones]

Pity. That doesn't exactly sound like a chance to let loose.

[worldmother]

[She should be used to this kind of babble by this point, but it still impressed her how Sara managed to keep it coming, no matter what the occasion.]

Try not to party too hard, okay? Or if you do, make sure you either stay the night or have a ride home. Not sure about Sierra, but I won't be home until late, either.

[two_stones]

Yes, MOM

I am no stranger to the perils of partying hard. I will be at least responsible enough to not wind up dismembered in an alley somewhere.

Got something fun planned for yourself?

[worldmother]

THAT'S YES MOM SIR.

That's reassuring?

A party with some of Daniel's friends.

[Because she definitely didn't feel like bar hopping with some of the girls from her department.]

[two_stones]

I had a feeling he might be involved, yes.
