Will anyone else be staying here for the holidays? It seems I am stuck will be here this year. I wonder if the elves would let me bake. Christmas biscuits are a tradition.

I am reading a book on the great modern mysteries of our time. For our American colleagues, is it really that hard to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the middle of a tootsie pop?

Better yet, what is a tootsie pop? Thank you for your help.

Turkish delight is the worst dessert ever invented. Well, besides a fruit plate. It's fruit on a plate. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.

If you happen to like Turkish delight I have a tin full of it. I am willing to negotiate a trade. Or you can have it. I don't want to seem stingy.

Oh, I apologize on being remiss on this thing. My last journal burned in a rather unfortunate accident involving tequila and a fallen candle.

It's a shame I can't do research and taste comparisons on tequila for the project on Mexico. I am rather fascinated by this worm business.

I probably should have said this sooner but thank you again for escorting me to the dance. I had a lovely evening and feel quite giddy as attending a typical social function for my age group.

Hello.

I have been working on my costume but I am coming to the realization that it looks a bit like a hairball a cat chucked up. Help? I realize it's last minute but I would be happy to help with homework in return. Or, if that is not enticing, I have just received a parcel full of white chocolate and raspberry scones.

I have been researching this Shakespeare individual. Not bad. His endings can be a bit of a bummer though.

Dom, you have made a mistake in your bookkeeping. I did not sign up for this. I am a rock. This is poor business practice.

I still don't understand the appeal of the sport but it was much better than doing an essay. Well done!
