Oooh! Maybe we could FINALLY get to play all the groovy Ryan and Courtney Firefly Games????

Lemme run it past the Bonnet Boy :-)

We haven't heard from the York/Lancaster Old Friends of Bob Network yet, so plans are fluid.

Sidenote to Ceph and Mali: I get depressed on NYE without my friends and family around me. The more I can look around and see people I want to keep knowing in the years ahead, the less that whole time-keeps-slipping-into-the-future concept seems like a totally bad thing.

I say, the ideal is to spend New Year's snug and safe among your pals/loved ones. You don't go to Times Square to be crushed by screaming strangers. You don't go on the road during those dangerous hours when the drunks are most likely pulling Crazy Ivans on the highways. You drink your champagne toasts to people that matter, and sleep where you fall down: That's MY New Years strategy.

Anyways, I want you folks who stay safely on couches to know that I consider you part of my "friends around me" total when the clock strikes 2005, whether you stay on your couches or not :-)

(And if you *are* on couches, I hope you've got one or more folks to snuggle with!)

Okay! That just made me cry. See, I have just left my husband and, due to that, my mother is not speaking to me. I haven't spoken to my father in 3 years and I also have lost all but one of my friends, in part due to the marriage break-up situation. Another friend whom I met here on FFF.net, Gunhand, has gone missing. We used to spend hours and hours chatting every day for months and months and now nothing. I'm with Badgershat/Jefe/El Magnifico: it makes you not want to go on. I am avoiding all evidence of the holidays this year. I will be done school for 2 monts and plan to read every waking moment that I am not at work. I have a pile of books just waiting for me to dive into them. Books are my oldest friends anyway!

We certainly love you, Mal-licious! And you're always welcome to come to the mini-shindig for New Years with me, Ryan, Suze, and Bob (if their plans work out that way). Either way, a passenger bunk is always open for ya here in York.

Besides...(*rings the red bell*)...
It's waiting for you...

oh mal {{{{{hugs)))))

Books have been good friends of mine, too.

So sorry to hear about the husband and mother thing.

Actually, I can SO relate: After my son died, I thought my marriage would be the next casualty, and things were touch and go between me and Bonnet Bob for...well, there are still things we just avoid discussing, so we can get on with the things that are good. And he's BOB - everyone loves Bob! IF I had left Bob, not only would my MOTHER have given me a hard time, but everyone would have dumped me, I'm certain. No kidding. Everybody adores Bob (with or without bonnet) and I have no illusions about which of us would keep most of our friends. Sigh. Fortunately, I love Bob, too, despite the things that can't be fixed, and I'm hoping we'll be okay.

Really, Mal, consider putting the books on hold for New Years Eve and joining us. OR, if you want more of a night-with-the-girlz, I hear my recently-divorced and much-wilder sister may host a party in North Jersey: Hey, she's been through two husbands and she's never without interesting company. I also *just* introduced her to Firefly this past weekend and sister Andrea (who reminds my daughter and her friend of Inara, BTW) seems to be tilting strongly to the Nathan Could Park His Boots Neath My Bed camp. I bet an evening with a True Fan like you could push Andrea all the way into becoming a genuine Fillionaire/FF Convert.

(And yes I DID just invite you to crash a party I was deliberately avoiding - my sister is trying to influence my daughter's college plans in ways I don't appreciate! But that doesn't mean YOU couldn't crash Sister's party and have a swell time!)

Um, where was I?

Mal, I'm just suggesting a couple of alternatives, honey, if you and your red bellish wit would care to be in the company of persons on NYE :-)

Also, should we put out an APB on this Gunhand person????? You've got Small Damn Heroes at your back, Mal, if you need us, darlink.

Well as others have said Mali, let us know if we can do anything to be of help. Not sure what I can do from far away other than be supportive.

As for NYE, last year I spent it at a friends house, but they have now moved away. Me and mr. couch this year I think. Still, unsuccessfully, looking for someone to snuggle with. . I am starting to feel the age presure hitting me. Hopefully will get this dealt with soon.

Flooze, Board Bitch and Chowda Head,

Thanks EVER so much for the support. It helps endless amounts, you have no idea. I turn to this site in all my times of need, believe me. And it never fails me.

Gunhand will always hold a place in my...hard drive and he knows it. If he wants to talk to me, he will, I have no doubts.

As for my family? Frankly, I'm better off. Less stressed, you know?

Thanks for the invites, I may take you up on some or all of them!

Love,

Mal-licious

Solista!

I was rummaging around in the bottom of my purse (looking for gum, I think) and guess what I found!?! A piece of blue paper with the following written on it:

"$2397.00
__________

catalyzer"


I looked at it for a minute before a very large grin broke out on my face and I started laughing. Right out loud. In the hair salon.

Ahhhh, memories.....

(for those who have no clue, that was our bid and our answer for Firefly Final Jeopardy)

You know, I did not find the gum! I just totally got side-tracked with the laughing! My poor shampoo girl must have thought I was insane(r) than I really am!
