i rang in 2006 with Alex and his mom.. we played games of monopoly and risk and drank apple cider. it was a very low-key celebration, but it meant a lot and i sure as heck had a wonderful time.. :)
in other news: i am in the process of coming up with new years resolutions. however, i find it kind of pointless because in years past ive never really been able to keep them. resolutions seem great in the beginning but then the novelty wears off with the advent of reality setting in. how many years have i made this resolution? what will make this year any different in keeping this particular resolution? but i suppose its always worth the try. and maybe this will be the year that the problem at hand is resolved. thats whats so great about a new year- all the possibilities. you dont know what can happen, but anything is possible.
i really like writing. and not just in my livejournal, but in my own pen-to-paper journal. i think 90% of what/who we are is never really verbally communicated... i like to write things down- moments, memories, lists, quotes, thoughts. compulsively sometimes. i need to gather all the thoughts that are locked in my head and put them on paper. will my memory ever fail me? maybe thats the precaution im taking.
i think part of my new years resolution is not to always compare myself and/or my work with others. its a bad habit, and it usually only winds up with me feeling down about myself, and thats never a good thing. i read this quote that is basically the summation of my resolution: "you dont have to necessarily be the best at what you do- there's always someone better. instead, be the only one who does what you do".
