For the last few years, I haven’t bothered doing anything for new years. No real celebrations, I’d be in my PJs, possibly with some sort of beverage and eating some junk food. Hard core times. And a sense of annoyance that I hadn’t bothered to make an effort.
This year was looking close to that, except I did end up pulling my finger out and calling about to see if there was anything worthwhile to get to. Got wind of getting VIP tickets for a beach party with friends and friends of friends so I got all dressed up and packed a bag and headed up to the city. I had a ball, well… after several beverages which made me chatty and easily amused. It’s annoyingly nice to be reminded that I’m not totally abhorrent offline. Although one of my PG13 encounters was surprising in some sense…. actually, that’s a lie. Each of the encounters I had was surprising in some way. But none of them lead to shamefaceness and I did not get a kiss on the stroke of midnight or at any other part of my evening.
Last year was eventful in it’s own right. Most of it didn’t go according to plan. Some of it has been pretty rewarding. And I feel maybe not wiser but more knowledgable about who I am and maybe I’ve learnt not to fight it so much.
So here’s to 2012 being better. Learning more, doing more (or at least, hopefully being less lazy). Which brings me to my to do list for this year…
- Project 365 – I take lot of photos, why not one everyday?
- Travel overseas at least twice next year
- B2 Zumba Training (at the very least)
- Go to Seaworld
- Some sort of diving activity
- Growing my hair
- A new tattoo
It seemed fitting to leave it to specific activities rather than generalised statements or goals…. these things I can plan to do.
I do hope to blog more though, and to be less lonely, and more happy and all that other general resolutions that I never make out loud.
Happy 2012!
