and the warmth rang true inside these bones.

All I am is the bones you made for me
So garishly clean. White as the horses that carry me away.
And all my demons, you said, come and go with the days.( Read more... )

I really do not understand people who don't like Christmas songs. Where they dropped on their head as children? Everything is so festive and grand. I feel like I have excess Christmas spirit, however; I'm selling some of my own, if anyone should want it. I know there are those of who are shamefully lacking. (Of course, I do not blame those of you who do not celebrate Christmas for not being in the spirit! That's quite fine and I hope that you are enjoy whatever holiday you celebrate!)

WARDED TO IGNATIUS.

I wrote you the play. You'll be ecstatic with your part. Maybe we can practice and you can regale your family with a show over Christmas.

After the circumstances of the past few days, I think we can all agree that maybe we should avoid dramatics for a while. Just take things nice and slowly and be courteous and nice to each other. I think everyone has experienced quite enough excitement, lately!

WARDED TO REBECCA

Good afternoon, Miss Pucey. I hope you are well.

I was wondering if you had any intentions of going to the dance that Miss Hornby is arranging? And, if you were, if you would like to go with me?

I know very well what I am going to do for secret Santa.

Shortbread and a signed photograph. One for now and one so they can sell it (or, alternatively, treasure it) when I am famous. Or even just so that, one day, people can look back and think of me and my wonderfully egotistical gift and laugh. I don't think there would be anything nicer than that, really, as everyone does love to laugh at other people's egos.

There. Two minutes and I am sorted. This secret santa thing is not so bad.

I feel that I must let you all know something. I am cataloguing everybody's reactions to this, so as the next time people accuse me of being highly dramatic, I can laugh at them. It's only fair to offer people a warning with regards to this, naturally.

Additionally, I hope everyone who was injured recovers quickly.
