torquillI have no desire to summarize 2005. It was a very difficult and stressful year, and while adversity builds character, I have enough characters for the next fifty games. I'd like a break, please.
It is, however, done. I passed its last moments listening to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
knaveofhearts tell "So there was this girl" stories with my brother foogod and the Weasel, after eyeofcanaan had departed for work. We had a quiet little gathering, toasted the new year with my mom, and finished watching "Time Bandits".
Today is the end of the winter holiday and the period of grace, and tomorrow begins the Season of Growth. I have a good load of personal goals to implement, and some large changes to plan for. By fall I plan to be attending Davis, picking up my lost dream of going to university again. There's the more immediate juggling act of how to keep school from taking over everything, so that I can put together a moderate veggie garden to help me stay sane.
November marks the midterm elections. It's too early for me to have a lot of hope, but there is potential there.
In August I turn 30. I've never been really hung up on the whole "30 OMG I'm old" thing, but it is a round number. I wonder how I'm going to feel about it.
There's the feeling that a lot of large pieces have been rearranged, and might be in position to start coming together, finally. I might actually get the hang of all this yet, if the orbital crisis bombardment will let up for a while. A lack of earth-shattering surprises, that's my request for the year.
