Happy close-to-New-Year’s to you all.<\/p>\n

Firstly and most-importantly! I have finished the Budapest\/Prague travel journal<\/a>. And not a moment too soon! Go read it lest I defenestrate you. At least peek at the photos, because some of them are pretty damn good. Also, Bertine’s movies are entertaining.<\/p>\n

Secondly! I woke this morning to the most amazing snowfall we’ve had in a long time. The trees are all covered in white puffiness. It’s the perfect snowball-and-snowman-making snow, which makes it immensely tragic that I’m at work for at least part of the day. Come to think of it, I can’t wear boots yet anyway; my tattoo has a couple more days of healing left to go.<\/p>\n

So! I decided not to make resolutions this year. I can’t really think of anything. Sure, everything can always be refined and improved, but that’s nothing to make goals-lists about. OK, wait. I hereby resolve to have more of the same. More time spend with great friends, more fun, more travel, more security, more hard work, more excitement. Easy!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow night, we’ll be making Cuban food and drinking mojitos at mi casa, with the obligatory champagne (and possibly flaming Puckschlager) at midnight. It’ll be an awesome end to a pretty spectacular year. I decided to summarize the main events with my traditional cop-out: a list.<\/p>\n

And it’s not even bulleted!<\/p>\n

In 2005, I…
sold my house
paid off all my debt except for my car
went to budapest and prague
stopped worrying
absolutely loved living alone, with my three substantial pets
studied arabic
started writing a lot, again
danced regularly
celebrated my second year on an 8-week contract at work
went to washington d.c.
started dating someone i like a lot
drove around the mojave desert in a convertible
quit the pill
went to a hell of a lot of parties
stopped being so hard on myself
sprained my ankle in canadia
got three tattoos
saw about a hundred awesome concerts
was totally financially secure for the first time in my life
got to the halfway point in my 3day fundraising (our team has over $5,000 raised!)
ended a disastrous relationship
had an interview published in a book
started two new investment accounts
went to los angeles
took up iaido and studied to be a samurai
became obsessed with hockey and ice skating
loved being single
went to hawaii
liked myself more than i ever have before
met many, many really great people<\/p>\n

I’m gonna stop just short of putting hearts and xo’s all over the damn place, and wish you the best New Year ever. Talk to you then!<\/p>\n
