"2004 in review"
I've almost forgotten how to write.
My last post on this site, before I move for good to the other.
I've yet to change its settings, and I'm not sure that I can, but what the hell, it's sitting there, and I should utilize it more instead of splitting my (very limited) blogging capabilities as it is.
So, 2004.
It's been decent, leaning towards good. I smile often, I laugh, I learnt the joys of shopping. I discovered a love for theatre; I renewed ties with some, severed others.
The world has been less lucky, but hopefully it will heal with time.
Am trying to focus on the blessings in life, like fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies shared with friends, and jokes and banter over drinks or tea. Walking in -20C weather, because I'm lucky enough to experience a real winter, breathe in cold, crisp air, watch snowflakes fall on mittens before they melt away. Having the good fortune to learn and study and stress over little things like a degree, because it means I'm in school, I have options, I'm thinking beyond survival.
Big events include the flood in Peterborough in July, US Elections ("If Kerry wins, I promise to attend every single class for a month!!"), and most recently, the disaster that struck Asia.
Personal highlights include my camera, extended time with family, catching Incubus live, catering a liquor event, getting (and later abandoning) my guitar. Learning to be happy, falling on my ass trying to rollerblade, playing hopscotch on a spring day, re-discovering awesome '90s music. Losing (and finding!) my passport, learning to read Middle English. Sleeping through the flood (hehe, I know!), crazy roadtrip to Winnipeg, dancing like no one's watching, sitting in a suitcase (even though I suffer from claustrophobia) just to get that awesome reaction.
"Why do I deserve [good things] though?"
"Because you let them [happen]"
Happy 2005, people. If you're going to party, party hard and party safe. I know I'll be sipping tea and chilling at home :)
Currently listening to: Switchfoot's Dare You to Move
Random observation: I promise to pick up my guitar again, right after Di replaces the strings she broke ;P
