Ah, Yuletide. How I've been waiting to discuss this year with everything revealed, and now it's time! What a whirlwind of a first year this was.

I'm just gonna talk about the giving and receiving all at once in this post to avoid cluttering inboxes any further. So let me first briefly discuss my wonderful gifts:

( reveal time! )

Hi! I'm super-excited about participating for the first time, and I've been so worried about what I might offer to write that I'm thinking about what I would actually want to receive a little last-second. Sorry about that! But I hope I can give you enough to go on.

These rambling paragraphs are all mishmashes of separate prompts. You can draw from a fragment of a sentence, combine things, or use none of it at all. Honestly, I'm super easygoing and I hope you don't stress. If you have a prompt of your heart for the characters and nothing here pings you, go for it! Definitely open to trying new things.

edited 10/18 because I realized I should probably try to give you more to go on and fix some errors. Hopefully you see this!

TRIGGER WARNINGS: This post discusses death and suicide.

In many ways, I am grateful for the advancements of modern dentistry, and I am grateful that I am privileged enough for some of the more routine advancements to be available to me. There are options to manage and treat tooth decay that have not always been there, and these treatments have spared me some nasty complications. So I am grateful for that.

However, for the past week, I have been not-so-seriously re-evaluating my attitude about modern dentistry. For I've had three third molars (wisdom teeth is the layman's term) pulled, and I've been in more severe and prolonged pain as a result than at any other time in the past 22 years---as far as I can recall, anyway. I think I may have had eye surgery complications as an infant that lasted longer.

Hey everyone!

Zoki here with my first post in this journal. Predictably, it's a food post! This time, we're cooking a little treat inspired by My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I'll let Pinkie Pie tell us what we're cooking today:

"A cherry-changa is mashed up cherries in a tortilla that's deep fried! Cherry-changa!"
( Or is it a chimmee-cherry? )
