do folks celebrate valentine's day here? is it too early to ask about this?

TOTES unrelated: anyone have gift suggestions that are thoughtful but also not creepy or weird?

from what i've seen, yeah. the things she makes are really nice, too.

[cleptes]

Then I say to go with the flowers.

Oh, and dinner.

[majorlyugh]

noted, and appreciated.

thank you.

[cleptes]

You're welcome.

Did you have a nice holiday by the way?

[majorlyugh]

oh, like, christmas and new years and all that?

yeah, it was great. what about yourself?

[cleptes]

Aside from going to a party, it was fairly quiet. I think I preferred it that way after the months I've had.

I'm ready to get back to work though.

[majorlyugh]

quiet's good, i think. especially if everything else has been chaotic and whatever. it's nice to get those respites.

oh yeah! you were up in space with that thing, right? i didn't keep up with it - sorry - but i heard some of the stories afterwards. you adjusting to life back on earth?

[cleptes]

It's okay. People get busy.
I didn't expect everyone I know to keep up with the space reality show.

I've adjusted quite well. And quickly too. Especially after weeks of eating food from a tube and having no real privacy at times.

While the experience was interesting, I'm not keen to do it again.

[majorlyugh]

food from a tube. yum. sounds like a culinary dream.

really? so no more space adventures for you? and to think, the movies and tv always made it look so kick ass.

[cleptes]

I missed gravity. I missed my shop. My cat. Friends.

I think all of us up there got a little stir crazy after a while. Some more than others.

[majorlyugh]

ahh, yeah. i wonder if the folks who came from space-faring worlds were better suited for it. do you think it was easier for them because they were already used to it?

[cleptes]

Oh, absolutely. We had a couple of ace pilots on board and a cybertronian who has been around for a long, long time and was used to being in space.

[majorlyugh]

man, that's so cool. you know how often i DREAMED of doing all of that? it's so cool. or it seems that way, at least. i wonder if i'd get all stir crazy and everything.

[cleptes]

I don't know. Maybe you would or maybe you wouldn't.

Did you hear that someone has built a moonbase? You could look into that, see if it satisfies your curiosity about going to space.
