Aaaaaannnnndddd...rs_small_gifts is off and running for another season! Claiming began this morning for the annual Remus/Sirius year-end exchange. It makes me feel old to say that it's now in its eighth year...but that eight years doesn't feel that long, either. Tell me, flist: does eight years seem long to you? Is this middle age creeping up on me, that time now comes in bigger units than it did before? Has your perception of time changed over the years?
