Panic called you out and took you in...
The holidays are over and now we're in a new year. I love the start of a new Years because of the feeling of a fresh start. We start off the year by thinking of all the mistakes we've made - and we make vows to never repeat them (read: resolutions) - but really we're just gearing ourselves to apply these old and tired mistakes to new situations and people. Alright...so obviously this doesn't apply to everyone...just me.
I spent New Years Eve over at Craig's place. ecoraider was in town for a wedding, so it was nice to visit with him and catch up. Sam and her boyfriend also stopped by. I hadn't seen her since she moved. She said she and Kayla, etc. were still planning to take me out for a very belated birthday and I thought that was pretty It was quite lowkey, but fun all the same. Craig's girlfriend moved back to home New York a couple of weeks ago so we technically celebrated the beginning of 2006 twice. I thought it was a sweet gesture - DISGUSTINGLY sweet, but sweet nonetheless. Ha!
The only resolution I made with sincerity was to learn to say 'No.' As stupid as it may sound, I've always had a problem with that and it has gotten me in to some unpleasant situations (for the record, that probably doesn't mean what you think). I think it is high time I get a handle on it. And while I didn't make any other official resolutions, I did think about what changes I could make in 2006 to be happier. First and foremost is moving. My plan now is to move once my lease is up at the end of August, which is more than feasible if I take the responsible and proactive routes. It really feels like this time around, everything is pointing me in the direction of moving. But things can always change in a short amount of time - spoken like a true committment phobe, right? - so I guess it will be a continuation of the Wait and See game. The only downside of moving at that time (or really any time next year)? Missing the 4,278 weddings that will be taking place. It is kind of a selfish reason as I am sure my presence wouldn't be missed (with the exception of the two I'm slotted to be in, I guess), but then my naming 2006 "Get Hitched or Die Trying!" wouldn't be half as apt. In all honesty, the overarching goal of 2006 will to get my adult self in order in all aspects. It goes without saying that I like a challenge.
On a slightly more randon and TV junkie-ish note, there are new episodes of Arrested Development (tonight) and Scrubs (tomorrow night). Don't act like you're not excited. On a less TV junkie-ish note, I need some more reading suggestions.
