So this is the new year
So, I was going to do the New Year's meme and I didn't. I've taken breaks with it before, and so I decided to again this year.
2010 had some high points, and it had some low points. Boy, did it ever have some low points.
Still, I am grateful for the people I love in my life who made the parts of it that were awesome.
It was amazing to meet firynze in person. And I hope we get to see each other more soon (preferably without waking rockradar out of sound sleep).
I miss the holy crap out of redstapler. Like, you don't even know. I still pick up the phone to text her to see if she wants to grab brunch. I am hoping that some point in the new year I can get airspaniel, blergeatkitty, and myself in a room with Skype and we have "brunch" with her via the intertubes.
Speaking of blergeatkitty, she had her first boxing match on Saturday, and she was awesome. I am so enormously proud of her. redstapler is going to be doing roller derby in Austin. I am now thinking I need something to start doing that's awesome. It may be dance related, but I have to figure out what kind. I used to do belly dance, and I loved it and kind of miss it, but the teacher I had was starting to get a little nuts. I may look into some others and possibly go back to that. Or see about something else. I dunno. But something to get me up and moving again, seeing as regular gym is nothing that excites me, even though I'm going to start dragging myself again.
Work continues on. There are things that are going well and are almost exciting, but there are also things that are frustrating and annoying. New Orleans Girl has moved on to another publisher, and has now been replaced by Perky, a bouncy 24-year-old who does nothing but ask questions. About everything. About things one human could not possibly know the answers to. But she's nice and also geeky, and almost literally squeed when she saw my Star Trek poster. So there's that. She comes from a law firm, and based on our conversations about the firm life, I'm not sure if it's for me. The job market isn't awesome right now, and I may stay put for the time being. It makes the most sense.
After much discussion and a hard look at particulars, we've moved the wedding date back a bit. Not too long, just a few months. As frustrated and disappointed as I was by this choice, and as much as I wanted to end off this year as Mrs. j_bkl, things weren't really gelling in the way they needed too. Miscommunication happened. But, I think it's all going to be for the best. After some head-into-the-wall action, I think things have taken a turn for the positive, and that we may just be able to pull this off after all. Like blergeatkitty said, everything happens for a reason, and in due course I'm going to see exactly the reason things happened the way they did, and be damn relieved. On the whole, I'm a little more calmer and clear headed, and no longer breaking out in stress rashes, so hey! That's a win, right?
There's probably other stuff I wanted to say, but I have to get ready for bed and shower and everything. So maybe more tomorrow when I have a few minutes to myself.
