Today, I received a decently sized envelope in the mail blessed with both thickness and weight. I could not help but be excited about the prospects of such an envelope, especially when I noticed through the wide plastic window on the front that the envelope contained...another envelope! A letter within a letter! Will wonders never cease? With hands shaking nervously, I turned over the envelope, and I was greeted with this message:

WE CARE

DEAR VALUED POSTAL CUSTOMER:

I want to extend my sincere apology as your Plant Manager for the enclosed document that was inadvertently damaged in handling by your Postal Service.

We are aware how important your mail is to you. With that in mind, we are forwarding it to you in an expeditious fashion.

We are constantly working to improve our processing methods so that these incidents will be eliminated. You can help us greatly in our efforts if you will continue to properly prepare and address each letter or parcel that you enter into mail-stream.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding and sincerely regret any inconvenience that you have experienced.

PLANT MANAGER

Ah, I see! So the large, windowed envelope on the outside was merely an apology for the shoddy manner in which my letter was delivered! Well, no harm done. After all, it was forwarded to me in such an expeditious fashion with such concerted efforts that I am truly beholden to my erudite high school teachers for making me memorize all those vocab words.

And so, with fear and trembling in my heart, I opened the envelope to see what horrors had been done to my Christmas card. To my utter dismay, there was little more than a tear across the top of the envelope of such a nature that I could spy a mere few square millimeters of a glittering Christmas card within. Truthfully, I had been hoping for some burn marks or even a gunshot wound - signs of a struggle with a disgruntled post worker. But no, only a tiny window into the beautiful card that lay within. I opened the envelope to reveal it's gold-lined interior, and a stunning glittery Christmas card embossed with shapes of holly and ivy. I opened the card slowly, barely daring to imagine the wonderful message that awaited me:

Wishing you happiness this holiday season and throughout the new year.

Edit: Now available with more Greggo!

I just got a great/terrible/silly/etc.etc. idea. I'd need a decent video camera to pull it off, but...::ponders::

Anyway, informal survey for all my friends:
-What sort of stuff do you think defines anime fandom?
-What are the highlights and/or main attractions of an anime convention?

I was gonna do that one meme where you update everyone on your life, but I realized there's a lot that I still prefer to keep on the down low. Like my full name, my dating situation, my siblings...

Yeah, I know. I'm weird like that. But I will try to sum things up for people who want to know what I'm up to these days.

I've graduated from college, I'm currently working as a writer, artist, and actor for various different groups. I live in Texas, and I am in a serious relationship with a nice guy. Anyone who wants more personal details, need only stop by soymilk_pudding which not only includes such tantalizing facts as my name (who wants to know, really?), but also such great things as what job I just completed and how I still don't have any furniture in my apartment except for that one chair I pulled out of the dumpster.

This one is on time!

( Hi, I'm a week late. Enjoy tonight's show. )

I had a really odd dream the other day. I was the wheelman for the crew from Hustle, except Sylar from Heroes was also a member of our team. We were caught by a former victim, but we escaped in a white van. I drove next to a school bus so we could hide behind it and escape.

Well that explains one of my biggest questions of the season. >.>
( Spoilers. )

I'm not late this week! Also, alcohol can cure all your woes.
( Blah hazing blah uncool blah. )

( Week late. Sorry. D: )

Carnivals are kinda scary...

( I still miss Matt... )
