You don't even know what was gonna happen when you got in it though. Perhaps I just wanted to trade some Pokemon cards that I don't have.

That's what I thought you said.

Okay so it's not really a van but it's got three rows of really comfortable seats and some really tinted back windows No joke, we refer to this thing as the 'involuntary love machine'.

Alright, I took a few minutes and yeah Now not only do you have to follow me to the van, you have to get in the van

I'm certified and registered. I'll help you Patch but only if you follow me to my van.

My help?

I randomly felt the need to check if they put up a dub of Made In Abyss and I see they did. I rewatched the first episode and I want to keep going but I don't know if my heart can take it a second time..

Sheesh.. First my grandfather, next your coworker, and now today I heard a friend of ours from town passed away out of nowhere.. Grim reaper is having a busy week...

Isn't it like China that gets it first? Or that general part of Earth?

Would you please? I've always been jealous of the fact you guys get tomorrow before us.

Well you should fix your timezone

I'll try to pop on for a bit. also happy new year guys

Thanks, Fawkes.. Doing something in their honor.. I dig that. You're right, it really does make you think about what could have been. I said I was going to visit for Thanksgiving this year and I never made it. I wish I just sucked it up and went... What could have been.. The fact I didn't make that trip will stick with me.. However, what I think will come of this is us reconnecting with his side of the family. It's a very large family.. We would typically see pretty much all of them at family holiday gatherings which were held at said grandfather's house.. and since we haven't visited them for the holidays in 10 years, we haven't seen much of that side of the family. I really want to reconnect with all of them... I haven't had a single reason not to visit (it was the drive that turned me off from visiting, actually. They are quite a ways away... I know that is a horrible excuse when it comes to family, though).. Yeah, ten years is long enough.

A day late but Merry Christmas you guys! On a different, slightly darker note..

I feel like if I ordered a Frenda keychain It'd show up broken into two pieces badum tss

I was being a bit sarcastic when I said that her being cute had nothing to do with it. Like, it is the reason entirely. You're right though.. I never really took that into consideration. Cheap emotional hooks.. That's exactly what it is... And I reacted exactly as they wanted me to.. I feel like I've been played.

Okay guys this is totally irrelevant but, I really need to vent this. I'll put it in a spoiler (it does spoil some stuff involving A Certain Magical Index).. Oh yeah sorry if I sound like a complete child Okay, with that, I hope you all had a great weekend!

Oooooh sounds fun. I might consider that. I know it'll be a nerve wracking experience when trying to choose what stuff you think/hope the other will like, and then an anxiety experience after I ship it out, thinking constantly "I shouldn't have sent that... Why didn't I send this!?".. I know it's really the thought that counts but, I think it gets to a point where some people's taste in everything is pure trash.

Angie sent me a couple things many years ago back when we were a packaged deal.. What I sent her was never even close to being as cool as what she sent me... Kinda feel bad about that now haha

I feel you on that haha. Obviously it'd be far too expensive and complicated to be any fun at all. But honestly, I think it would stand as a testiment of LPW's dedication if we were ever insane enough to attempt it. I'd be totally down for a secret santa-esque thing!

We should hold an LPW Yankee swap. Wouldn't that be awesome? We all send gifts to each other's addresses at random, then post pictures of what we got and then we will, one at a time, choose the gifts we want to swap with. I mean, it'll probably be March by the time the last person receives their swapped gift and we can finally open them but come on, you can't say it's a completely terrible and unrealistic idea, can you?

I can never think of anything that I would want. I usually say "You know the stuff I like, just get me anything".. Actually there are a couple albums I would like this year but if I don't get them, I'll ̶t̶h̶r̶o̶w̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶e̶m̶p̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶a̶n̶t̶r̶u̶m̶ buy them myself off Amazon.

So Christmas shopping update.. Basically failed the mission. Bought one expensive present then bought myself a bunch of Hotwheels cars and the new Greta Van Fleet album.

Gotta lay down some big bucks for Christmas presents this year, just like last. I swear, these days the presents are fewer but they're so damn expensive..
