Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've been avoiding writing up my year, because it's had some good (friends getting married, and having babies, a bitching new car, and some progress in my career) and some bad (the year started with an unexpected death, some aspects of my job were making me unhappy enough to bring me very close to quitting, and I made a few mistakes in terms of who I trusted), but mostly it was just sort of was.

I feel like I was drifting too much, in a lot of different ways, and I guess the closest I am going to come to a resolution this year is to pay more attention and focus more, even on the little stuff.

One thing that was definitely good though, was the Buffistas. I've been to some weddings, and raised a glass to some others. I've been able to say hello to some of the cutest babies in the world, with the promise of more to come next year. I've traveled to Maine (complete with pimp hat!), and DC, the Seattle area twice, and San Francisco a few times (complete with Nilly!) and had a hell of a lot of fun in my home town, all thanks to the Buffistas.

I wish you all a great and glorious 2005.

In five minutes: My good in 2004--

Gus proposed! (Yes you did. Don't look like that)

DC and SF! Meeting Buffistas!

Nilly!

Who could ask any more than that?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

2004 was a year like most of the others in my life. Lots of good things happened to people I care about, and few bad things, and I'm glad about that. For me, personally, though, it was a lousy year, and I'm not so sure 2005 will be any better.

Happy New Year.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Gus proposed!

Oh, Carp. Did I? Curse this Macallan's single malt!

Happy new year, DX, and I hope you are wrong about next year not being any better. You certainly deserve only the best.

HAPPY 2005 FROM THE RIGHT COAST!

Mwah.

Happy New Year, DX. I feel much the same way, but I'm going to plaster a grin on my face and dare 2005 to suck as badly as its predecessor.

No, that's wrong. I'm not going in pie-eyed and expecting the best, but I am trying to keep my eyes open to the positive, and not dwell on the negative. It's not that easy, but it's the best I can manage right now. Let's hope it's enough, and 2005 gives everybody a break.

Gus, DH would be startled if I suggested changes. The thrill for me was that you said it out loud--as it were. Thanks.

mwah! Back at the poor doomed Eastcoaster. Swimming lessons, do not neglect them.

Beverly: You are not going to make me go back and try to find this soi-disant proposal. I am on to your tricks.

DX: Have a good year, or don't, theorist.

The theory is usually good. It's the practice that seems to lack a lot.
