RE: Have you heard the good news?

I was put on a late shift preventing me from seeing a female who I like talking to in work, just found out she was off sick this week anyway.
Bought some zombie themed slippers for the mother of my daughter, they look like two zombie heads biting your feet off when you wear them. My god I'm good at gifts. I'll probably have to buy some other gifts though just in the unlikely but possible event that she just thinks "wtf are these crap disgusting slippers." I took a gamble last year and bought her a hulk fist mug that she loved.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

My good news:
You know how sometimes over the years, you acquire things that you absolutely hate, but you keep round all the same? Three years ago, a very dear friend of ours gave us a lead crystal vase as a Christmas gift. This vase is ugly. I mean, really, seriously, hideously ugly. If you look up 'ugly' in the dictionary, you'll find a wee picture of this vase. It possesses the sort of ugliness that makes decorators weep and gives little children nightmares. But, as I said, the fella who gave it us is a dear friend, and he'd be hurt if we told him how much we hate this thing, so we keep it in the parlour on a little wall sconce.
Not long ago, I was tidying, when I bumped into the sconce and the vase fell off. Things went slo-mo, and I had a flash of Mikey asking about the vase the next time he was at the house. I remember thinking, as the vase drifted towards the floor, 'ohjesusohjesusohjesus'. It hit the edge of a metal-framed end table and shattered into a skajillion pieces.
So prayer works after all.

I'm sure you'll do the right thing and buy an exact copy! That's what good friends do to not hurt the other's feelings...

Reading only the title, I was going to post that the Good News is nothing but Fake News. But now that I've read your post, congrats.

The last video game I bought that I played I enjoyed playing when I played it.
