So I got snowshoes for Christmas, and today I put them to use. I think that they're the best Christmas gift that I've ever received, in terms of me and what I like. It snowed all day today and the mountains were blanketed in fog, and so I trudged through the snow for about five hours. I can't describe how beautiful it was. I can however tell you

Wow, your trek sounds pretty incredibly epic.

I hope you will call me when you get back into town.

You're not a bitch. I've been an uncle for seven years and I'd still like to dropkick two of my nephews from the three-sixty bridge. And also their mother, my sister. But I've never had a problem offering my own snap-judgements on those around me. But you have. Which makes me think you're completely justified.

Whoever that guys is by the current mood thing, I love him. Weren't we talking last nnight about your new assertiveness?

[strivabsorption]

They left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I wouldn't call it new assertiveness exactly... not yet at least. I'm working on it. But yes, we were.
