Wrapup
Huge family gathering for Christmas this year:
Yes, our eyes all glow red when we're together.
Everyone has cleared out by now, I thought some of them were going to stay but there are problems with flights and so forth-- boring details. So it's me and the parents and no friends in Tupelo, at least nobody I've managed to keep in touch with. We'll have a good enough time.
I'm told the reason people kiss at the turning of the new year is for a kind of good luck-- what you're doing when the year turns is what you'll be doing all that year. This time last year I was busy getting my hopes up, and sure enough, 2005 was almost entirely comprised of getting my hopes up. And now I'm looking at the end of the year as a wasted block. I don't want to let go of it, but there's nothing there. I can sing disappointment from memory; that dulls it a little.
I'm so tired of this. 2006 I'm.. doing something. I don't know what to do differently exactly. There's any number of things I can try. The New Year doesn't really start for me until the 10th, though, when I get back from San Diego. I guess you'll hear more then.
