Hey wwc!  I hope you're in for a fantastic Christmas!I actually really love late cards. I get the mopes when Christmas is all over and the excitement has ended, so it's a lot of fun getting the last few late presents and cards. Stretches it out just that little bit more. A very merry obscenely happy Christmas to you. Good to see you're still kicking over there. DLAO posted:realized that I didn't formulate an intelligent plan for Card sending outage.(Maybe some of you have already been hit up multiple times?-- I've gone through almost 60 stamps.) I swear I did this last Easter! After spending a few holidays in here, most of the names sounded familiar and I couldn't remember who I'd mailed this time and who I'd mailed last time... Now I keep a list.

I sent it a week ago, so I'm starting to think there is a black hole in between the main land and the island. If you didn't get it yet, I am sending you a post card from inside Victoria, goddamnit. I did get your Christmas card! Thank you very much. I especially liked your husband's colouring page. It really made me laugh. I have a couple pictures of my latest goonmail that I've been too busy to post yet! I work long shifts on weekends and it leaves me feeling pretty lazy in my spare time.

PezMaster posted:I got some post cards for Christmas, but they would be better for mother's day and not Valentine's. Hmm. On Mother's Day, we like to send cards to the mom's of goons in this thread. Sounds like you're all set! edit: Okay, very sorry I'm late with my thank yous, but better late than never, I hope! Here's the haul of goonmas cheer I received this year. (Pretty sure I thanked Fluffy Bunnies and thepitgoddess already, but if not, thank you for the lovely cards!) First up is PezMaster, who sent me an awesome goonmas card (containing BEES!), and who's husband made me snort eggnog up my nose with his hilarious colouring of a Christmas turkey. I did eat turkey this year, and I DID think of that picture. Thoroughly creepy.   Next is cardboardRobot! Thank you for the card! It made me think of that absurd Arnold Schwarzenegger christmas movie and feel thankful that I don't watch television very much anymore. Also in this picture, a card from Vixenella and Alkaphanel. Thank you for the adorable snowman card. It's one of my favourites, and I made retarded 'awwwww' sounds when I opened it.  Sorry this picture is blurry for some reason. Thank you to Team Lunch and marlowe can you go for more goonmas cheer! I am obviously moronic about cats, so cat themed christmas cards are about as good as it gets. This cat looks like such a creeper, haha. I love it.  Team Lunch, thank you very very much for the card, and the sweet message inside! We have a very Charlie Brown christmas tree that we bought last year after moving to the province. Being completely broke around Christmas was horrible, and we all pooled our money together for this one sad little two foot tall tree with fiber optic lights. It is pitiful. It didn't have a topper or decorations or anything. So this year, I took your suggestion to heart and put the little origami T-rex you made me on the top of our tree. Thank you, it's awesome, and it will definitely be a regular fixture on Christmases to come.  Another blurry picture! These two are from cuntvalet and whenworldscollide. Pretty sure that big fat penguin needs to be hugged endlessly by me. The cute little snowman one is from wwc, who also sent me a card for my engagement!   It is lovely. I love it! It's just so pretty... I couldn't stop gushing when I saw it, and I'm sure I was super annoying. whenworldscollide, you are awesome. What more needs to be said? Thank you so much. I am keeping this FOREVER GET AWAY IT'S MINE. Thank you for all the christmas goonlove, guys! I look forward to sending you mushy, creepy goonentines.

Also, a poo poo ton of stickers and valentines day cards. Excellent. Oddly enough, I never thought of colouring the pages myself before. I still have about 300 pages of my Star Wars colouring book left... But I'm not very creative! I don't know!

Jimmydafish, I got a cute goonmas card from you this morning! Thank you! Just when I was running low on after-christmas cheer... lamb, I think the mailmachine ate your letter! I received the front and some of the back half of your envelope in a Canada Post bag, apologizing for my mail being damaged. There's nothing in it, but there are pretty stickers on the envelope.  Thank you for sending me some goonlove, and I'm sorry that stupid Canada Post had to eat it.

Looking back at the last few pages, it seems like a lot of my Goonmas cards never got to anyone. With the price of postage and the goonlove that went into them, that is so annoying! I'm making my Goonentines a lot lighter this time. Maybe my envelopes weighed too much and they're all making their way back to me, very slowly?  Since I'm trying to write a letter for each one, they're going to be staggered over the next few days. lamb, whenworldscollide, cardboardRobot, KafkasGoldfish, and cuntvalet's are being sent out today, and then I have a dozen more or so to go out after some serious letter writing tomorrow. How do you guys think of anything to say?! Seriously... I feel like the most boring person on the planet. Sorry if my letters are lame. Rythe, I am practically frothing at the mouth over this Lego thing. Please tell me something you like, so I can send you some awesomeness in return!

Opera Bitch! Checked my mail yesterday and found not one, but TWO cards from you! Thank you very much! The frog one was especially adorable. (Frogs, which I associate with SA, a part of my username on the card, and also 'exercise', which I now do for the first time in my life! A triple threat card.) The other one is my first Valentine of the year, and it has a place of honour on the wall above my desk. Thanks, goonpal! Your valentine's incoming!

I haven't read it yet, wanted to make sure you knew that I received the letter and the black hole of Canada Post didn't pull it into it's event horizon, bahaha. But I am really looking forward to settling in in an hour or so and reading it and starting a response. I forgot how much fun it is to have real letters. And your handwriting is lovely. Mostly I like to just send stuff to people without much personal commentary or anything, just a nice way to connect with someone and hopefully brighten their day somewhat. I'm grateful that you're reminding me how enjoyable it is to actually converse with letters. Wow I'm a dork. Anyway, thanks. I think I have messy writing and I never know what to say, so thank you! I look forward to your letter. Holy crap, I didn't realize it was so fun having penpals.

I've gotten quite a bit of goonentine love already, and it's time to say my thank you's! First up is: Vixenella and Alkaphanel! Thank you for the adorable elephant valentine, colouring page, and the romance conversation card. All very cute, and suitably Valentine-y. JimmydaFish, thank you for the awesome postcard! I think I've already sent a reply out to you for this postcard, so I won't bore you by saying the same things twice. Shoozy sent me a cute valentine and a brownie recipe I haven't tried yet. I baked some muffins that were absolute abominations yesterday, so I think I might try this recipe instead this weekend to try and redeem myself in the eyes of my family. Yikes. Pezmaster and Killamajig sent me this awesome valentine and colouring page. I laughed so hard at the colouring job. Very well done... and not a bit suggestive. Thank you. (I took the Lego apart so I wouldn't give away the puzzle to anyone who hasn't received theirs yet.) Rythe!!, thank you so much for the Lego valentine! Oh man, I had so much fun putting it together! I figured out the puzzle without looking at the hint, but it did take me a while. I had to sort out all the pieces first and when I realized there was only one of the square block, I knew that was the centre. Everything fit together pretty quickly after that. This really reminded me how much I used to love Lego as a kid. I'm so happy you sent me this! Thank you! Best Valentine's gift in ages, seriously.Thanks for all the goonlove, everyone! I hope my letters start reaching people soon.

Last year, the fish Lamb sent me for V-day also told me I'm passionate, but when I forwarded it to my brother-in-law, all it told him was that I'm weird.  He's so not getting this one!KafkasGoldfish... whoa! That is a wicked cross stitch. All the tiny little stitches are so neat and uniform, and it smells slightly of my favourite tea. I don't know how you do this, but I am in love with your awesomeness. Giggling at Boromir is a favourite pastime of mine, so this is perfect. Thank you.

The real valentine is late because I am sick (it's bronchitis now, yey) so it will be a little later but will be coming soon as I can. Haha, okay! I will await the incoming Valentine! But you'd better write down my address if you don't have it already because... Lamb!!, sadly, I must request to be removed from the list.

Aunt Buck, Lamb, marlowe, Hemlock, Julet Esqu, Team Lunch, 13pandora13, thepitgoddess, Shenanigan's Luck, and JimmydaFish. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone. Your cards were all adorable. Even the Krampus one.Team Lunch, the origami t-rex you made me several years ago is actually still used as a tree topper at my house every christmas. I meant to take a picture of it, but the tree got put away before I had the chance. It is a ridiculous tradition that I'm very proud of. fake edit: just looked back through the thread and found the Christmas when I first put it on the tree... 2012?! Dang.

I finally did get married and changed my name and changed my address! May I be removed from the goonlist please, Lamb? I'd like to come back when I have more time for goonmailings, but sadly it will have to wait. Things are hectic in the home-life. I miss you guys
