Happy 2009 to everyone.
Last night we made a toast, and someone said "here's to the end of 2008!" and everyone cheered the loudest at that one, and then we kissed and drank champagne and cheered and laughed. It was my first for real new years party and it was well worth the sleepy headache of this morning.

Well, resolutions. I guess number one is to do a better job of keeping in touch with people. If someone isn't in front of me or making contact with me, I am horrid at making contact with them. It's not that I'm not interested - it just doesn't really occur to me unless that person pops into my head at a moment when I'm not doing anything else at all. It makes me feel like such a shitty friend when I think on it. So, resolution one is to keep in touch.

Resolution two is to NOT try to lose weight. Keeping in shape, sure, but losing weight, fuck off, I've had enough of you.

I can't think of any others. I hope that doesn't make me sound like an egotist or anything, I just can't think of any over-arcing changes that I need to make. Evening out emotionally isn't really something I can resolve to do, is it? I think that's one of those due-course things. Make a lot of money? Sure, in summer, when I have the time for a job. Don't fall off a cliff onto a spike? Maybe that one is worthwhile.

So that's three, then. We'll see, this time next year, how I did.
