Hello 2010!
I think I just realized that New Year's is actually my favorite holiday. I love Halloween to death, but its message is forgotten, whereas the meaning of New Year's will remain poignant forever.
It's a day for introspection, for me, and retrospection. When I take a moment to resynchronize myself with all of my past selves. I have at least one vivid memory from every New Year's since Y2K, and that's... a lot more than I can say for every other day of the year.
And I'm doing awesome. I won't pretend that every year of my life has been "better" than the last (on what scale? And it's all continuous!) but I have definitely been more headed to where I want to be with each passing season.
I won't pour all of my accomplishments out into the intercube, but in short, I switched to a college I like and became WAY closer to the autodidact I wish to be. I... did dumb things to myself in autumn and have not improved as much as I would like in the realm of learning to want things. But so be it.
I have the best friends.
I have the best girlfriend.
2010 seems promising.
RESOLUTIONS:
Write every day. At least a paragraph.
Write once a week. Strictly. For hours. With Penny.
Finish some projects.
DON'T avoid things out of fear.
DO start doing what I love.
DO my schoolwork before the last possible second.
GET a job I like.
Move out? Sure hope so.
