Good morning, 2oo8. 2oo7 was superb, and I'd like to reflect for a minute but I have plenty of memories already. Most importantly, six months ago I lost the "zero" key on my laptop and that's why I can't properly type the year. Also significant: independence vs. loneliness. I sealed the deal on my very first apartment, paid my own rent for the first time, legitimately supported myself for a hot minute. Met some incredible folks through my job and the SF community, read some great books and pursued a great interest in gender studies. Bought a nice vintage jacket on the last day of the year.
Very productive.
Things that didn't go as planned: just about everything, though nothing ended up in a way that I have a dying urge to change. Shit went haywire but every little thing is gonna be alright! Most disappointing moment of 2oo7: "Losing" those ridiculously sexy sunglasses in Dolores Park. Happiest moment of 2oo7: Taking a millisecond to declare that we were driving down to LA -- "let's leave now." See? Unexpected.
My time in New York is up and this was an unexpectedly pleasant visit. The 'burbs are comfortable but I'm over it, and I miss my home. I used to be really scared of this place, but we simply don't get along. There is no threat in Croton -- it just sucks.
At first I refused to make a resolution for o8, then I realized there's a lot that can be changed for the better. This week I'm coming out to my parents. No more excuses, just unexpectations. That's my only resolution.
