So just so that everyone knows I'm trying to find the frost fairies that live in Christmas trees again this year and I need your help. If you purchase a Christmas tree from a Christmas tree farm (none of those stupid fake trees have frost fairies just so you know but I think this would be obvious) make sure you watch for frost fairies because they die pretty quick once you take them inside. They're really small about the size of your thumb and are generally thought to be a light sort of bluey color with transparent wings. Some people say they're naked but that doesn't make a lot of sense because it's cold in winter and being naked just doesn't sound fun when you spend all your time in the snow.

Anyway if you find a frost fairy take a picture and send it to me I'm going to keep track of sightings this year and see if there are any trends.

You're not familiar with the Barnes, are you? Damn it.

What are your thoughts on this Brandon mess? I don't trust it, Hockney.

I have done it. I figured it out.

I know who Batman is!

I think. Not that it matters. It has to be one of them.

Hey guess what guess what?

I've been in Seattle for quite awhile, but am new to this forum and these buildings, and I have a question: Why not choose to live somewhere entirely human? Merely a curious question, nothing antagonistic in the asking.

So with the Thomas Inc. dinner tomorrow I have to ask is anyone planning on going after the craziness that happened at the masquerade because I really don't want to end up macking on some random dude because of magic or whatever.

Memory purge failed--still recovering from worst hangover ever. You alright?

Nathan? Are you having these memory things, too? I [...] I saw one of yours.

I am seeking contact with dog owners, preferably in the Bathos apartment complex - though any of the three would suffice. Please reply to this post if you are willing to share advice on the care and keeping of dogs. Input from experienced dog owners would be much appreciated.

Oh my God, moving is such a huge pain! It's like this terrible never-ending flood of boxes and movers and people unpacking things and asking me questions. Seriously, it's a new apartment! I don't know where anything goes! You put it somewhere, and that's where it goes. Someone just has to tell me later, and that's fine. Really!

At least some of the boxes are starting to get cleared out, and the furniture is all delivered and everything is starting to look pretty. I mean thank goodness, right?

So! To celebrate my moving in, I want to throw a big party. Housewarming, except not actually at the house, because it needs to be bigger than that. Like, huge! I already have a couple venues in mind, but I'd love suggestions or requests or just general RSVPs! Come and meet me, people! And please, call me Kylie.

To avoid the Night Terror, you only have to WAKE UP. He has no power to keep you asleep. Don't sleep alone. Sleep in the same room with someone you trust, and wake each other up if it sounds like a nightmare is taking place.

General PSA.

Doesn't matter if they're pumping sex-pollen into the vents, don't fornicate in the stairwell. Or the laundry room. Or just you damn people have a lack of creativity anywhere with an obvious police presence (yes, you will be arrested).

Also--if your pants are three floors below and your girlfriend's in handcuffs, don't try running.

I couldn't help but notice that all the information packets that I left in the lobby for PETA are still there. I would encourage everyone in Hamartia for the fifth time to pick up one of these very informative packets and read up. The treatment of animals in this country (and most of the others) is absolutely abhorrent! And they're animals. What are they going to do without people to step up and look out for them?

Even if you don't buy into all of what PETA stands for, you could at least take a look. There's plenty of non-vegetarian practices that promote the general wellbeing of animals! I also have information packets from the Humane Society, if you'd prefer.

And if anyone from either of the other buildings wants information, just ask. I don't have a problem dropping stuff off for interested parties.

Edit: For the record, I know very well that PETA can be crazy. That doesn't mean that everything they say is crazy. The information contained in the packets I'm talking about is specific and not-crazy.

This week only: all organics, reduced prices.

Still the same quality you can always expect; just a surplus of product.

A lesson in forum etiquette:

Before hitting that 'post' button look up. Not only is there a spell check, but there is a preview button. Closely reread what you wrote. Is there anything you'll regret later? Have you posted any time recently in the last twenty-four hours? Are you setting yourself up to being poked at?

Rewrite or rerecord it.

Is there anything that's likely to have you end up with a tomato in your face? Edit. Unless you like the feeling - to each their own.

Remember what your mother likely told you about behavior in public, ladies and gents.

Social networking between apartment buildings. Interesting. I'm Kate, I just moved in here, and I keep weird hours. I'll try to be respectful of my neighbors. What the hell do people even say on these things?

Also, I'm looking for someone who might be around here. Billy Slater. The last I heard, he was in Seattle. If someone can give me some direction, great. If not, thanks anyway.

Its 3am. In the morning. This bad bad bad bad bad. Why? Because I fully intend to get up at 9am to go make this super cool surprise thing for Jim. It's like, an Etch-e-Sketch calendar type thing that would be totally helpful. In lots and lots of ways. I sketched it up and everything. But now I might not wake up in time if I go to sleep. Plus I'm really not that tired. Why am I not tired?? Can some one please make me tired? Please.
