Now this is a handy word! I should have known it when one of my most favourite character in One Piece died. *ods sadly*

I hope life is treating you well and you are ready for Christmas?! (We spent the whole day baking yesterday and with each cookie I felt more Christmas-y. XD Sadly, the weather is far too warm to really get into the spirit.)

It's a great one, isn't it? I think it's a pointless exercise, because feelings aren't something you can turn off and on, at least for most people. You can control your expression of them, but not their actual existence.

My holidays were quite lovely, and we visited family who live in the cold, but as I don't enjoy snow, that aspect was no fun for me. It was balmy back home and I had to miss it. Still, seeing my family was more than worth it and I got everything I asked for and more. I hope you had a great Christmas and that 2013 is treating you well so far!
