I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Years Eve and/or a Happy New Years. I'm not a fan of New Years, mostly because of the months that follow. Three months of fun, color, food and gifts and then.... cold Janurary. Followed by Fubruary and (oy) Valentine's Day. Nothing against celebrating love but I hate red and am lonely. Not a good holiday for people like me. Afterwards comes St. Patrick's Day. I assume all fine and well in Ireland, but in the US... *shakes head*. Don't get me wrong, I love green, but I don't appreciate being forced to wear it under threat of bodily harm. The only thing I look forward to from January to May is Easter and that summer is appraoching (summer, warmth, Independance day with hot dogs and fireworks *sighs contentedly*).
However, I do like New Years as an excuse to eat good food (corn beef brisket, mmmmmm) and we plan on seeing National Treasure two tomorrow, and we went to the bookstore today (they didn't have what I wanted, but they did have some interesting stuff). So, all in all, it's chalking up - thus far - to being a fun New Years Eve/New Years. Normally we don't do squat (though two years ago we had a Lord of the Rings marathon. That was a blast.) I stay up past midnight anyways, so doing so is never a big deal.
Though I'm feeling wary about the new year, I'm also feeling resolved. Something will change in my life - either my book will be released for sale, I'll take art classes, find a job, find volunteer work, or move. We shall see, we shall see. But something will change.
In the meantime, in order to focus more on my original fic, I've taken myself out of Flashfic for the time being in order not to be tempted. I will take part in any challenges that come along in other communities, but Flashfic has a way of packing my brain with too many ideas.
