Happy New Year!

There's still a ways to go until midnight here in Vancouver, but I know it is fast approaching in (or passed) the majority of the lands to the East of me.

So HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope 2010 treats you all better than 2009 did, even if 2009 wasn't even that bad.

I had a busy 2009. I went to China, I wrote a 33 chapter epic, and I moved to Vancouver...

Between those events my life sort of sucked, since I don't like my job very much - so here's hoping I can fix that problem in 2010!

Although I love my travels, I think I will look the most fondly back on the 33 chapter epic...because, thanks to everyone's positive feedback, it really helped to restore my self-confidence. Writing for the Supernatural fandom has re-whetted my appetite for writing in general, and I only see good things coming from that. So, thank you guys for being a bright spot in my year.

I could look back on the decade, but 18-28 are such life-altering years, that I'd probably end up writing another 33 page epic on that topic alone, so for now I will just sum up by saying: I love the person I have become in the last 10 years. I love the friends I have made and the places I had the privilege to live or travel to. Even with it's hard times, I've had an extremely fortunate last 10 years and I only hope that the next 10 are just as good.

Happy 2010!

glad to hear your feeling better, and i am perfectly okay with another 33 page epic.
hope you have a happy new years.
i find it awesome that people have their own traditions,
for example my sister and her husband are putting a dollar under their front door mat for good fortune. while our family is going to down twelve grapes each and think about our new years resultion for each grape.
what are your traditions?

Wow, those sounds like fun traditions (though I would probably end up using the dollar for a parking meter at some point). I like the grape one - a delicious way to think of resolutions!

When I was a kid, we used to try to complete a jigsaw puzzle before midnight (I lived with 3 other siblings, plus at least one parent). Sometimes we were so successful we could do several, other times we were not successful at all - we never did the resolution thing, but I always felt like how far we got on the puzzle said something about how successful the next year was going to be. While we did the puzzle, we would listen to the radio countdown the best songs of the year.

These days I usually grab a bottle of wine and go to whatever party I've been invited to...though, in truth, most of the time I miss staying at home and doing puzzles.
