Post a day




In 2006, I had just over 100 posts for the year. I think I can do better in 2007. How bout a post a day, people, a real post a day? First drafts of things I'm working on, so I can solicite feedback and whatnot. Something besides press releases and newsletter copy to keep me in proper form.



I think it's a good idea.

This sort of sums up my NYE experience...surrounded by hottness, kissed by none.

Me & Liz S


wtf is up with my hair?

New Year's Eve. Somewhere between 2am and fucked up and sleepy.
I can't get involved (exclamation point)




The date, you ask? I don't want to talk about it.



Ok, I'll talk about it. It was alright. I had some good conversation, he gave me the moony eyes, I knew we were headed nowhere. The reason: He didn't have nice hands. Ok, there was more to it than that, but really, he didn't have nice hands. I've spent my whole life with musicians, artists, writers---those who have nice hands, strong hands, capable hands, crafty hands. I just get really turned off by weak little hands with ragged cuticles. I like hands that look like they've done something fantastic and amazing recently.

CV and I had an awesome conversation today about how to say punctuation so it sounds like itself. Let me give you an example. Quessstion mark? (see, you say that one all question-like.) Here's another: hyphennn (it kind of lingers at the end cause it's about to lead into something else.)



Yes, that is the kind of dorky conversation that make me happy, thank you very much. I am not ashamed. Much.

I found a new place to live. I'm signing a lease that'll keep me there till December and graduation. I think I'm gonna like this place. I think it's a good space for this last year of school and everything. Maybe I can clear my head a little and figure a few things out.

Post 113



I had a little free time at work today, and when Melissa and Bonnie's Rob weren't busy entertaining me with their various gmail chat messages (mutant clones, anyone?) I started making two lists: one reviewing 2006's accomplishments, the other outlining what I'd like to achieve in 2007.



So here they both are, for your entertainment pleasure.




***


In 2006 I:



-- lost 20 lbs.

-- took better care of my skin and hair.

-- rolled all my evil credit card debt into not-quite-as-evil student loan debt.

-- was single for the longest stretch of time since 1999. (This, I think, was the healthiest thing I did all year, healthier than the first three points combined. I hadn't realized I had always had a boyfriend or two around until suddenly I had no one.)

-- traveled again.

-- reconnected with old friends.

-- got lots of love and support from my bestest friends, especially over the summer when things were extra hard.



In 2007 I hope to:



-- lose 10 lbs, which would put me back at what I consider my "fighting weight."

-- stop smoking even the occasional cigarette.

-- travel internationally. (Brazil...)

-- figure out what I want to do come graduation in December and the dawn of 2008.

-- spend more time on my personal writing projects and stop being terrified and actually query, damnit.

You're evil, blah blah blah...this is why I never bother to take these things. These quizzes always act like cutthroat ambition is a bad thing.



What Fantasy Archetype Are you?



The Totally Wicked Villain
You are The Totally Wicked Villain! You're like Sauron (Lord of The Rings), Morgan (Arthurian Legend), The Emporer (Star Wars), The Witch (Narnia), The Angel (Neverwhere), Voldemort (Harry Potter) and The Keeper (Wizard's First Rule). Your shadowy plots and incredible power are immense obstacles to overcome and you are usually cruel, creepy, evil, heartless and have a motive that only The Mentor truly knows. Beware, though, you are almost invariably beaten by the Unlikely Hero, even if you killed the Seasoned Veteran Friend AND the Pillar-of-Strength Love Interest - feats even you rarely accomplish if ever.
