new years ramblings
I'm at work and bored out of my skull so I'm taking this opportunity to reflect on the past year and babble about the new year.
2002
January: I moved to Syracuse, NY to start a whole new chapter of my life. I have a real career that I like most of the time, my own apartment, my own life. It's really hard to believe that I'm here and it's been a whole year. Sometimes I just sit back and say 'WOW' it's really amazing to me and sometimes I wonder how the hell I've lasted this long.
February/March/April: I spent most of this time getting settled in and adjusting. This is also when I decided to re-join LJ and actually use it. *heh*
May: Around this time is when I met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hammerhead22 and she actually convinced me to try writing. I can't help but laugh looking back now. Who woulda thunk?
June: Mario Lemieux Celebrity Golf Tournament. that's all I'm gonna say about that.
July: CFTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August/September/October/November: visiting friends, spending money, having fun and my first ever trip to NYC.
December: NYC - Slashers!!!!
Going home for Christmas made me really stop and look back at the past year and everything that has/hasn't happened. I've made some of the most wonderful friends, some I've never met, some I've met a few times and some I see a lot. One of the biggest things I did was to start writing. Some days I regret ever getting started but then when I'm writing or going back and reading I'm reminded of how much I really enjoy it and the reasons I do it. 2002 was definately a year of ups and downs but I've learned a lot about myself and I've grown as a person. We need to learn from our mistakes and I think I've done that.
2003: my hopes/wishes/predictions/resolutions/etc.
1. My biggest goal for 2003 is to be happy. It may sound lame but its true. I've looked back and more times than I'd like to admit I've realized I wasn't happy. There were many different reasons, some were my own issues and some werent. But my biggest hope/wish/goal for this year is to do whatever I can to make sure I'm happy.
2. I want to work on being a better friend. I suck at corespondance and I have a tendancy to just diasppear at times. I'm going to try to keep in touch with people (old friends and new friends) better than before and hopefully it'll get easier as it goes on.
3. Keep writing, only write for myself. I've more than once thought about giving up writing. I know I haven't been at it that long but that doesn't mean I can't think about quitting. My biggest issue is I don't think people read/like what I write but I've come to realize that it shouldn't matter to me. I write for myself and I'm the only one that matters.
extremely broad and vague but it doesn't matter. Basically what I hope for is to become a better person to myself, if I can do that I have nothing to worry about.
I just want to give big *hugs* to all of my friends. You guys are the greatest.
and now I'm gonna shut up. *g*
