Lived alone, Made several BIG decisions for myself, bunch of other stuff i'm sure too ..

Not that I know of.
5. What countries did you visit?
Just the States
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
greater financial independence, a job I enjoy being at again, howabout a start into higher education again?
7. What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing major, some sickness and some bruises. Some people get battered around more than others!

Something in particular? Probably Viaticum for a couple of different events
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? I am even. It is GREAT

Who knows.

26. What was the best book you read?
I'm LOVING Give War A Chance by PJ O'Rourke and also enjoyed Lunar Park by BEE

I don't discover things, they get handed to me. Why try to find things when you have a rather commanding source?

peace with myself, if even just a bit.
29. What did you want and not get?
things to be easy

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006.
Life is going to sting on occassion. Learn to enjoy it and forget that all things involve risk.
On another note, I let the cats sleep with me last night and, as always, there was always one sentry gaurd posted at my bed when I woke up.
Today is my last day of work before my vacation. I am changing the fucking balances and not going to utter another WORD on it until I get back. Please hold me to this, shoudl you see me- I need this even if I don't know it.
