    I'm not gonna post a picture of myself, not because I am against sharing my physical identity over the internet, but because I don't have any good pictures of myself. I do have a YouTube channel now (shameless plug) and the link is on my page. It's mostly so-so covers of songs you probably don't know but I enjoy making music for others to (hopefully) enjoy. You might be able to dig through this thread, though, and find some pictures of me from a few months ago.

    The latest Dawes album was actually quite good, I got the limited edition signed marbled vinyl. Pokemon Moon is excellent. Sanderson really put out for us this year.

    Starman has fallen. Doves have cried. Last Christmas has come and gone. We get it. Now stop, 2016. Please.

    Upon reading Wikipedia's Timeline of the Universe, I am very glad that I will not live eternally.

    The cookies are, ah, So unless you fancy having your soul torn to shreds, don't eat the cookies.

    I am thoroughly enjoying Moon. With the customization and depth, it's amazing. But I have one question for you guys: is it "a-LOW-luh" or "a-LOH-lah"?

    Oh Steelborn, you amuse me so.

    Hi there, Drake! I'm bleeder, or Cam, whichever. Welcome to the Shard! You'll like it here; we're also all in too deep and hungry for more. Hungry for knowledge, that is. Not cookies. Do not eat the cookies. Anyways, welcome! If you ever need anything, feel free to give me a shout!

    Oh, Mitty is wonderful. Probably Evil Kermit. Favorite Sanderson antagonist?

    So do it! That sounds super fun! I just got back from a Christmas party at an older couple's house, at which I ate delicious roast meat, sat and talked with some cool people, and played a beautiful Taylor acoustic.

    Hey there, bcsouza! I'm bleeder, or Cam. I like music and stuff. Welcome to the Shard! I personally am either a Lightweaver, an Edgedancer, or a Willshaper. I've always imagined Stonewards as behaving like older people, gruff and sometimes stern but hearty and good-natured. Like Bugsy said, don't eat the cookies. They'll Ruin your life. If you need anything, anything at all, don't hesitate to give me a shout!

    Christmas party pretty soon; I'll be back on later this evening. 

    Merry Christmas, all!

    Of course you're a Hufflepuff Waterman, nice. I'm afraid I would lose a Waterman too easily . Turntable and vinyl, extra nice. Watch and knife, cool. Other misc things, also cool.

    Merry Christmas, Slowswift! It really depends on what kind you want. More popular music can be acquired at, say, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, FYE. If you want older stuff, a good place to look is thrift shops and antique stores. For more obscure stuff, independent record stores are great. You're in college, right? Most college towns have a good music store or two. If all else fails, scour the internet.

    So, guys.

    You know, as I drove through my city, my town, my home, on the way to a 10:30 candlelight service at my church, I found myself noticing things I had never taken the time to look around and really see.

    All the lights were of, from the post office to the tire place to the (multiple) taphouses. The only bits of luminance I saw were strings on trees, and lampposts, and little twinkle lights someone had put up on the awning of Chef's Pizza ("Home of the Big Chef!"). 

    No one walked the rain-drenched sidewalks, no annoyingly loud pickup trucks revved their way past the library. The locally-infamous locally-owned drive-thru fast-food chain had its big red lettering lights turned off for the night, and everything seemed asleep. Not at peace, per se, but definitely asleep.

    No "silent night", but pretty damnation quiet, if you ask me. 

    It's amazing to me, to think that such a long time away, two-thousand-something years away, regardless of your religious convictions, a baby was born. It didn't matter at that moment what deity you worshipped and why. It didn't matter if that child would grow to be a historical figure, a prophet, or the Godsent Messiah. It just mattered that he was alive. Breathing. Born. 

    Now, whether he was born to a holy virgin and a lowly carpenter or a poor Nazarene girl and a woodcarving liar is up for debate, but what isn't is that that baby, that infant, that tiny bundle of joy, of love, of life, changed the world. To some, he would grow up to die for our sins. To some, he foretold even greater things. But to all, he taught people that love is what matters.

    I could go on and on. I could spout out the whole schtick about being "slow to anger and quick to forgive", but that's not my style.

    Just... try to love, okay?

    That's all. Try to love. Everyone.

    Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Yule, Sol Invictus, or whatever you observe.

    And hey, you know what the best gift is?

    You are alive.

    Savor that. Relish in it. You are alive.

    Say it aloud. "I am alive." Breathe in, and out again. 

    You are alive.

    I love you. Good night.
