This is the best Christmas we've had in quite some time. I take back all the things I've said about America being a horrible place. It still is, but I've finally found a way to enjoy it. It turns out playing in the snow becomes fun again when you have the right kind of company.

How did these pictures appear? I'd really rather not have any photographs of the tear generator in this universe. The technology is far too dangerous, and this could help anyone who wanted to replicate it

The old fashioned clothing does make us both look quite distinguished. Perhaps I'll scan it into the computer and remove the machine with Photoshop.

(ooc: the letters do discuss some anti-LGBTQ bigotry, given the nature of the site, so please be warned.)

I was just thinking about how this holiday is frankly annoying for me. Mum and I don't get along, I have mates but they've all got plans. Thank God for Atton - but then someone sent me this link, and while Mum didn't disown me or anything like that, she doesn't understand me. I could have it a lot worse, and yet I still almost cried reading these.

It's aimed at LGBTQ people disowned by their families over the holidays, trying to make them feel loved and welcome. Whomever started this site is a good person.

Today has been thoroughly exhausting. Waking up with a nose bleed, an enormous headache, and brief hallucinations was not on our schedule. Nor was spending almost all day in the emergency room for said symptoms.

I can still hear the baby screaming and sometimes I hallucinate that I'm still holding her and listening to her father demand her back.

If my sister misbehaves in the next couple days I'm afraid you're all on your own.

Hullo. Name's Christian. I just moved here from Ireland. I work at the 4th Street Bank branch down in Los Angeles, but I've just moved to Orange County. I was told this is the network where one can go to meet people and figure out where to go for things around town - food, coffee, the like. Is this the place to ask about a dungeon? Obliged in advance.

I'm not really a Christmas person exactly. However I will admit that I miss England during the winter months. It's not the same. It was 80 today. And I was wearing shorts.

There should be snow and hot chocolate and all sorts of things.

Not that I want to go to the East Coast. I should stop complaining.

What's everyone's plan for New Years? Anything good?

FUN NON-CHRISTMASY BASED DISCUSSION.

As an avid reader of these boards, I can't help but noticing a lot of us are shameful flirts. To this end I ask: does anyone else ship people on this board or am I just crazy? Like, there's some of you who aren't dating but I just want to smush your faces together and be all NOW KISS.

cut for image, viewable to all. )

Like that.

I swear to god, you guys are going to make me go all Fiddler on the Roof on your bottoms and start randomly setting you up. Which would turn out badly, since I'm sure some of you are like me and are taken but can't turn off the flirt.

I guess I'm just saying augh, Valar, why so cute?

There's nothing like listening to old Christmas songs, drinking enough eggnog to knock out a horse, and trying to get a string of Christmas lights untangled and in working order.

Our efforts were fruitful in the end, and we now have a Christmas tree worthy of the effort we put into it, and the horrible hangovers we'll garner as a result. Not to mention the potential exposure to salmonella.

Ah, the holidays. There's no time of year quite like them. I feel that we'll miss the snow as the month gets older. Not that we'll miss shoveling it, or driving in it, or listening to people complain about it. Those are things whose absence we'll cherish.

So. Anybody know of a good restaurant that delivers? The last three days of mine were spent at the hospital with one of our kids. They're okay now, but I think I might kill someone for a burger and a beer.

Waiting for ages at the airport has shown me that either I'm very good at keeping myself entertained or that I have a sick, dirty mind.

Anyway, here's a fun game! Fill in the blanks: I like my men the way I like my _____, _______ and _______.

Right now my favorite is: I like my men the way I like my books, well-read and bound in leather.

These dreams are not pleasant at all. How on Earth can I be an only child? Being scorned by my peers for being a woman is one thing, and an upsetting thing at that, but being alone through it all? That's intolerable. Even worse is relying on a man like Comstock for funding. I wish I could yell loud enough for my dream self to hear how bad an idea that is. Curse my youth and desperation! Scientific progress should never be sold to the highest bidder, and especially not someone like him.

I feel like I relate to this far more than I strictly ought to.

That, and there's apparently a twitter called VeryBritishProblems. I think there's quite a few of us here on the 'net that would appreciate and sympathize with most of those tweets.

Since this is apparently how things are done. . .

Someone here promised us a drink

And we will not be refused. Come, Killian, pay up your debt. It's been a long day in the science mines, harvesting the golden nuggets of truth. Especially since the truth is, about half the time, "You forgot to carry the one"

We've been having so much fun talking about the dreams and what they could be that we completely forgot about our own birthday. It's quite silly, in retrospect.

I suppose we can't fall back on our old standby as far as celebrating goes. What on Earth is there to do here? It's all so. . . horrifically American here. We're at quite a loss.

My parents are going to kill me! I've NEVER been suspended in my life, and now I've got a 2 day suspension for "Insubordination to staff" and "Disrupting the Learning Environment".

It's not my fault! I'd already finished the assignment and the teacher asked me if he was boring me with his lecture. And I said yes. Then he got mad at me, started asking me more questions (which I kept answering), and things kept getting worse! Eventually he asked me why I felt like I didn't need to pay attention in class. I told him I'd already mastered the work we were supposed to be learning, that I was only in the class because I was required to take it, and that he was a substandard educator with only a basic grasp of the material.

Then he dragged me to the Principal's office and demanded that I be suspended.

Why didn't anyone tell us about these fascinating dreams! My brother and I would like to know all there is to know about them. Regale us with your stories, please!

So as I'm walking around my class today, I realize that I have very little brain to mouth filter, and I'm spewing nothing but the truth like word vomit.

Now as I'm spewing my guts out, I'm just going to say that the prospect of death is not making me very happy. Really, does anyone want to wake up after a night of dreams to a non-beating heart. I don't want to die. I'm not afraid of it. I mean some of the immortality shit is very cool, but the trade offs are pretty high.

I guess it's like a karmic fuck you, that this is all happening when my life is going well.

Our latest experiment is coming along quite nicely. I'm hoping we'll see some real positive results within the week. Of course I've been wrong before, but I'm trying to be more optimistic.

So, a community for people local to the area to talk to each other that isn't a flimsy excuse for drunken rendezvous. That's quite an accomplishment.

I'm Rosalind Lutece, I moved here with my brother about six months ago. We've been working for Tony Stark in his physics department. Now that we have the introductions out of the way, I anticipate we'll be able to go back to work and no longer hear anything about how we need to get out and meet people.
