Happy New Year!
And then, to completely ruin the mood, I commented that the images of New York, with all the smoke and confetti-bits floating all over in the air, looked a bit apocalyptic. Yes, welcome to 2010. NOW: THE END OF THE WORLD.
AND THEN THERE WAS A MASSIVE PARSON SPIDER (if your spider-loving mother says it's the biggest one she's ever seen, you are allowed to use the word 'massive') IN MY BEDDING. I'm going to hope it was a parting shot from 2009 and not a welcoming from 2010, because otherwise this year and I are going to be on very bad terms.
Overall, though, I think 2009 was pretty good? I managed to spend the vast majority of it living not at home (mostly not on my own, since of course I have a flatmate, even if she has been mostly absent lately~)! I managed to get work (albeit not like a "proper" job but seriously whatever), graduated (again), got health insurance, and did not die when I caught the doom plague in June/July/part of August. I went to Mexico (and there was a plane crash halfway across the continent - the Hudson River landing) and Pasadena (... aaand there was a plane crash halfway across the continent - the Air France thing. Aniko and I were actually watching that on the news as we were flying back). I was fired by my therapist because she thought I could handle the world and so far she's been pretty much correct! I just need to stop being so awful at social interaction (how do you live somewhere for a year and make no new friends? I have managed it...). There was some epic drama, too, but I am trying not to dwell on it.
Uploaded a bunch of pictures from last month to Facebook, featuring cookie baking, Christmas trees, and my dog, mostly. This link might/should work, if you want to see.
THINGS I WANT TO DO THIS YEAR:
- Stop failing at leaving comments (didn't I say this last year? Maybe not. It's something I think about often, but never quite get anywhere with...)! (I AM NOT JOKING I have a folder full of word documents with saved comments, most of them for other people's writing, that I just... do not post. Because I am lame. And paranoid? I dunno.)
- Write more letters. Remember to send them. Would you like one? (Also, I want to get more non-bills mail, but I have no control over that.)
- ...better job? At least start earning more than rent and utilities cost each month? ** UPDATE: one of my coworkers has left and my manager asked me if I wanted more hours. YES YES PLEASE YES So we'll see how this goes...
