...oh...kayyyy....

I wished someone a Happy New Year.

She responded, snippily, that she doesn't mark the passage of the years -- it's all arbitrary anyhow.

It's official. There isn't a holiday on the books that someone doesn't hate.

You just have no luck with these things, do you?

I suppose picking any given day of the year as New Years is arbitrary--one of the solstices undoubtedly would have a better claim--but there IS a pretty well defined jaunt around the sun that one couldn't claim as arbitrary, I mean, a year really does MEAN something, it's not just a human constructed category...

I may be reading too much into this.

One of the problems with being a liberal is you build up friendships with people more on the fringe. Moderate Conservatives have to cope with Dittoheads and Jingoists spinning everything in their direction. I have to deal with people for whom every societal creation is somehow oppressive or bourgeois. Or worse, oppressively bourgeois.

I find the term "bourgeois" both offensive and oppressive. I'm going to write a nasty letter to my local weekly newspaper about you.

Alternative newspapers are a tool of a patriarchal conspiracy to funnel legitimate dissent into nice safe, "convenient" boxes! You are so getting ranted about at the next Poetry Slam!

Well, phooey on her.

She's probably angsting over how old she's getting and that she hasn't lived one of her dreams yet. I bet she snippily complains about her birthdays too.

Feckless wench.

Oh well.

The upshot? More good wishes for those of us who enjoy it.

Like me!

*smooch*

Happy New Year to you.

*grin* And also to you!

Hmm.

Satan's Advocate here. Maybe she's been going through a really rough time. And growled at you. That happens with humans. They don't always see someone is just trying to be kind and loving. Sounds like alot of pain coming out of her. This post will most likely get MY head bitten off. Oh well. Good thing that I am the Wicked Slut of the East. Tra La la la la la

Good Luck with 2005 everyone.

Nah, no one will bite your head off. Or they'll answer to me!

Well, Kobald might, but he'll be funny about it. And then answer to me!

This LJ is SO going on my "Friends" list, if nothing else then so I can watch the repartee between you and Randy. :-D

In other news, the drawn icon (not the photo, creepy one): Did Chris Baldwin draw that? It looks ALOT like his style?
