"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself." - Neil Gaiman.
I think that the above is joyful and brilliant. Let's pretend that I said it.
Right now I'm feeling hungry - I've already had lunch, dinner & snacks but my stomach is claiming that that is not nearly enough. Because it has just been Christmas, I have one-and-a-half selection boxes, a big bar of Galaxy and chocolate coins in one corner of my room. I don't really want to eat any of it though, as I'd like to get back to eating better (like it was before Christmas). Therefore I'm currently trying to trick my greedy stomach with an oversized cup of tea. I liked it over the summer when I lost a fair bit of weight, I felt less uncomfortable inside my own skin and didn't cringe nearly as much at my face in photos.
New Years Eve was BOOZY. And fun. I was so happy when Jerry and Emma said they were coming up - I've really enjoyed spending time with them over the holidays. Emma was running around thanking everybody for the best new years she has ever had. Back to real life tomorrow, I feel. Much less ice hockey and Wargames with Matthew Broderick.
