Congrats! We, the Empire, shall convene the grand council and decide!

Too late, I went off piste without the council's approval (second date last night, was lovely).

No Claw.

Off work until Jan 7th :thumbsup:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Started a new D&D campaign and somehow managed to play from 7pm to 4am. I guess that can be called a good session!

In general, I feel like our sessions have improved greatly since two people left the group and one person joined who vibes a lot better with the core group. Her humour fits right in. As much as I'm averse to being glad people leave the group as I'm all for everyone enjoying themselves, our humour and playing styles simple did not vibe well and since they left, the sessions have become wild in the best way.

Pretty sure those are yesterday's snow. At least, there haven't been any in my group in the seven years we've been playing together

You've seen a TRB 3rd date before then? Fairly sure they've not cleaned up properly after the last one yet...

I chuckled a little bit when I remembered that in-company holiday e-mail for Hannukah and Kwanzaa was holiday-specific and explicit, but for Christmas it was just 'happy holidays'... :rolleyes:

At the in laws for a week. Luckily my in laws are pretty awesome.

I’ve already eaten my weight in mince pies, getting ready to dig into the white chocolate dipped pretzels.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Last day at work was today! Next time I gotta be there is the 7th.

Almost 2 weeks of relaxing, reading, tuning up my gaming PC and gaming. Life's looking up.

Would've been the 6th for me as well, except that's the Orthodox Xmass Eve, so I take that off every year to help my parents get everything ready.

Just talked to my brother for almost an hour, which... is unheard of. It also means he's doing better, as especially the past year he'd been very down with how stuff was (not) going and it was difficult to keep up a conversation as he'd be constantly stressed and would not look anyone in the face. He got his old job at the university offered back to him this year and he'S almost done a 180 since and I'm so glad to see him perking up and laughing again.

I'm also very proud of him helping others the way he does. He's been helping out in the local community and teaching middle schoolers computer stuff and one of the boys (5th grade) stole money from him. Instead of telling the boy he could never come back there, my brother had a long talk with him about how you treat people and about closing doors you might end up needing later. Reminds me of how much of the stuff I find important or right were taught me by my brother since our parents divorced when I was 3 and my brother 19.

I hope I can finally manage to go visit in 2020
