For the past four years, there's been this annual secret santa event on /a/. I'm not actually sure how the whole thing started off in 2012, but I was among the first to join back then, and it was a pretty fun experience. The organizers have come and gone, but the secret santa thing seems to be a tradition now (as traditional as it gets on an imageboard, really) and after two years of absence, I decided to give it a go this year. I wasn't really expecting much, but I actually managed to receive my cards and, well, I felt pretty happy. The only ominous thing about the cards is that both had Chinatsu on them. I had no idea this many people liked Chinatsu. Then again I hardly post in the Yuri Yuri threads (thankfully) so I don't know that much.

I'll probably be sending out my cards within the first week of January, since the printers are taking a very, very long time to print out my cards. There should still be two cards heading my way, which should be pretty exciting. Sometimes I get really amazed by just how trustworthy a group of anonymous people on the Internet truly are. It's a community that I've spent my past five years with and sometimes I wonder if I'll ever actually quit that place. There's hardly any other place on Earth where I get to rank girls and say all sorts of random things to them. Sometimes I just get the impulse of saying 'I want to cuddle and have lots of children with Honoka' or 'I want to do X to Y' or something stupid like that.

Speaking of Honoka, I just bought a figure of her about two weeks ago. She looks great! I'm starting to assemble my Honoka shrine now, and if there's a new CD out from her I'll most likely buy it too. I'm not sure why exactly I like Honoka so much. In terms of personality, I really like Kotori, while in terms of looks, you can't beat Eli. But for some reason I just really, really like Honoka. Maybe it's because she's just a very genuine person, someone you can imagine having a conversation with, having fun with, laugh with and cry with. Honoka has her moments but for the most part, she's pretty, outgoing, and authentic. Truly the best girl. She might not be real, but that doesn't really matter. As Illya puts it: 'Don't Think, Imagine!"
