Well. That was certainly an interesting holiday.

I still don't see why any of you got me gifts (those that weren't immature jokes, that is). I don't celebrate the holiday, and besides- were you really expecting anything in return?

{LOCKED TO TY LEE}

I have something for you. I'll give it to you the next time I see you, I suppose.

...

I'm having something delivered to your house. Call it an act of diplomacy.

OOC: Yue, I'll still finish that thread in the party post if you want, but I'm setting this entry to take place after that. <3

Christmas is a strange holiday.

((Ah, no problem. <3))

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It is. I still don't see the point, though I've been told it has its base in religion.

You did? well...I was planning on coming over anyways...

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Yes. I did.

Re: {LOCKED}

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Okay.

Like I said, I'll be over there.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

All right.

...

You come over a lot.

Re: {LOCKED}

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Is that a problem, 'Zula?

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I was simply making an observation.

... Hm. You do that quite a bit, too. Leave off the first syllable of my name, that is.

...

Again, not a problem; just another observation.

Re: {LOCKED}

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Huh...okay.

Re: {LOCKED}

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

...

...

Ah... right, then. So...

It's fun to give people gifts!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I find it to be a waste of time.

[knifeurrib.livejournal.com]

Fine by me.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Good.

[oceanicbutterfly]

A "thank you" would be sufficient.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Now, your gift will actually be put to good use.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I suppose that's the closest thing I'm going to get.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You suppose correctly.

[nicecollarbones.livejournal.com]

I think the point is giving without expecting anything in return.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why?

[nicecollarbones.livejournal.com]

Because as soon as you expect retribution, it ceases to be a gift and becomes a transaction.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I realize that. What I meant was, why would someone give something to me without expecting something back?

[nicecollarbones.livejournal.com]

Ah, well.

I suppose giving things to others makes people feel like they did something good, which in turn makes them feel good about themselves as people.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Ah, so it's for selfish reasons. I suppose that makes more sense.

[nicecollarbones.livejournal.com]

I suppose you could see it that way.
