I hope that 2006 is a better year than 2005 for each and every one of you, whether 2005 was great or lousy.

[theinevitable]

this year: I will graduate from high school. I will go to college. I will get out of Charlotte, North Carolina, whether I remain in NC, or go all the way to Upstate New York.
I will get to the part of my life where I do fun things, and new things, and the part where I don't sleep in my parent's house every night.

Happy f'in new year, everyone.

[V-Adore]

Happy new year, all.

Good luck with that, theinevitable. I'm at the stage four years down where, unless something explodes, I will graduate from college this year (WOOOO CLASS OF '06) and go onto graduate school. Let's hope I get an acceptance letter and that it doesn't blow.

I have named the year 2006.

The year 2006 shall heretofore be known as: The Year of the Fortuitous Coincidence.

Worry not, yon traveller. Fortuitous Coincidence shall aid thee in times of need.

Happy New Year.

That's right, they're Firecracker hats

I hope 2006 is the year in which Paul continues to show us fire shooting out of ever bigger and/or better things.

Here's a picture of me and the missus having fun last night:


And another (I'm Geordie LaForge-in' it with her tiara):

I spent last night reading The Brothers Karamazov in an acquaintance's kitchen while he and a horde of people got drunk and high in his garage.  But at least my SO and my good friend were playing excellent music for a while.  And at least a particular friend of mine didn't throw up all over the place, requiring me to wipe her face off and hold back her hair while she tried to make out with me before passing out on the toilet, like last New Year's Eve.

2005 was applying Early Decision and getting accepted to Smith, getting dumped after an almost three-year relationship, starting another relationship that just passed the one-year mark, doing better academically in my senior year of high school than in any year previously, making new friends and losing some old ones, the death of loved ones, moving to the Great White North, surviving my first semester of college, and lots of good, old-fashioned personal growth.

Happy New Year, "y'all."  Good luck in the coming year.

I didn't realize how badly 2005 sucked till last night when we toasted the new year.  A big break-up, the suicide of three friends, illness, shitty world events and a lousy Mariners season.  That I didn't realize how shitty it was can only be attributed to one thing:  alcohol.

It appears that i'm not the only one here with a happening moustache.

The multiple wine glasses tell the story here.  One hint for the future, always put the lady in the forefront of the picture.

Happy New Year...

Here's to 2006 not sucking nearly so bad for you.  For me, '05 was totally sucky from a work standpoint as I've mentioned before., but it took a major turn for the better at the end.  Other than work though '05 was pretty good for me.  I've had a lot of fun, i've experienced a lot of personal growth and have accomplished some goals.  More and better to come in '06.

You can't really tell from the picture, but among other things, I climbed to the top of an abandonded Silo with this girl. Here she is on the ladder which sorta proves we were messing about on a condemed decaying structure.  She's not a "SO", but somehow this picture seems pertinent to the discussion.

Is her last name "Simmons"?

Yeah, I've been to parties like that. The best one was the one in high school where my least clueful friend decided we all needed to drink non-alcoholic margaritas, which resulted in us standing in the supermarket at 10:30 PM on New Year's Eve, the only customers in the place, attempting to buy margarita salt, without a legal drinker among us. I'm amazed they actually sold it to us.

(Also, as I learned later that night, non-alcoholic margaritas are terrible.)

2005 was applying Early Decision and getting accepted to Smith, getting dumped after an almost three-year relationship, starting another relationship that just passed the one-year mark, doing better academically in my senior year of high school than in any year previously, making new friends and losing some old ones, the death of loved ones, moving to the Great White North, surviving my first semester of college, and lots of good, old-fashioned personal growth.

Out of curiosity, how's Smith/the Five-Colleges area working out for you? I just applied to UMass for graduate school, but I'm curious how the actual Amherst/Northampton lifestyle works in practice.
