Have you no idea that you're in deep?

[Good evening, Johto! It seems that Tsukiyama's in a decent mood today; we're doing this again, from the sound of it, and he's got the camera set up as he usually does - the focus is low, aimed more toward the piano than the player with the exception of his hands, and keeping his face out of the shot. (It can be seen, however, that he is once again unironically wearing one of Chihiro's janky-ass scarves, because of course he is.) He'll speak after a while, though; he sounds pleased, at any rate.]

It doesn't seem all that long since the last time I did this, does it? It's hard to believe it's been a year or so. But time flies like that, n'est-ce pas? Even if we have a funny way of ending up back where we started, in some ways.

I asked last year, where you all thought you would be now; some of those who answered have left, but some surely haven't. So tell me! Have you managed what you'd hoped you would, in the past year? I've been wondering about it, a bit...

Of course, I'd like to hear what you've done with yourselves this holiday season, just in general; I want to know the sort of experiences you've had. Assuming that you don't mind sharing - that's what this time of year is good for, c'est vrai?
