Happy New Year...
Dec. 31st, 2001 02:48 pmAnd I certainly hope it turns out to be one (thus the mood at the bottom of my post.)
The Yule celebration went well. There were a few hiccups here and there, but overall it was good to see that the faith that I was placing in this was not misplaced. Now we just have to keep doing what we did right, and tighten up the slack bits, and we'll be on a good start toward making something that will outlast us, and do a lot of good in the community.
On the more personal front, this looks like it might actually avoid being one of the NYEs that sees me wanting to drink half a bottle of Nyquil and sleep until January 2nd, which will be a nice change. Last year was the first NYE where I managed not to obsess over the fact that it would have been my wedding anniversary since my first wedding anniversary. And with the people I'll be celebrating alongside, I think I'll manage to make it two in a row (yay, team!)
And for those of you who are scratching your heads and saying "Huh?" about the above marriage references, yes, I am divorced. My marriage didn't last all that long, and I'm not even a fraction as bitter about it as I was immediately following its inevitable collapse (I'm sure she and I have some business being married, just none being married to each other,) so I don't often talk about it. Add my at times almost obsessive need for privacy, and it becomes something that just doesn't get tossed out that much.
But I digress. Tonight I plan on having a good time, and if the subject of how this would, in some other world, be my sixth anniversary, pops up, I'll do my best to keep it in the context of how I'm glad that it isn't going to be.
I had plenty of lessons that I needed to learn from life, and I'm glad that the learning of them didn't hurt worse than it did. But I'm not the person I was in 95 anymore, and I'm happy not to need to learn the same things he did.
