I really enjoy the people in my office. We all get along really well and it's really generally a big party all day long. I'm awfully lucky.
But there are some folks outside of my department that just get under my skin, and I hope their foreheads fall off. Honestly. You know, like that old toast about turning ankles so we will know them by their limping. Only I want it to be much more obvious than a limp. A missing forehead would do nicely.

Taking a break from letter writing:

2004:
More money or less?
More! This year, I could totally afford food. Daily, even. This is a big step up.

Biggest way to waste time?
Knitting, lately, although I did waste a lot of time at Super Mario World earlier in the year.

Best use of time?
Beginning the long hack through Remembrance of Things Past.

Best movie?
Garden State. Duh. Or Before Sunset? Or In America?

Listened to?
I majorly (heart)ed the Scissor Sisters album. And the Garden State soundtrack. And Mike Doughty. I am a dweeb.

Read?
Holy Christ. Um. I've been doing a lot of Russian and Japanese authors. And also, you know, -everything else-.

Fatter or thinner?
I don't know. Around the same? I haven't been near a scale in years, but I look pretty much the same.

Smarter or stupider?
Both. And never as smart as I think I am.

Best buy?
Knitting needles.

Best bargain?
Dude, my steamer was only $15!

Stupidest purchase?
I'm actually peering around my apartment right now, looking for something dumb, but nothing's really jumping out at me. Good for me!

Drank the most?
Soda, probably, although there has been a marked increase in both coffee and alcohol. Oh, alcohol.

Best drink?
Frozen girly drinks at Sarah's bachelorette with my homies.

Ate the most?
Potato chips. Or pizza.

Worst food eaten?
Um. Hummous, since it made me sick.

Best food eaten?
My very first me-made Thanksgiving turkey!

New friends found?
Oh lordy, do I have the awesomest friends in the universe. I'm so glad that my friendships with Tara and Cat and Stace have grown so nicely, and that I acquired Steph and Ryan and, you know, everyone else. And along with that, the ever-growing awesomeness of all the friends I already had.

Old friends lost?
I'm pretty sure I managed to keep everyone.

Resolutions not kept?
Resolutions suck. I'd rather make them after I do something worth resolving to do.

Missed chances?
Lots, but few that I really regret.

Fears?
Being stuck in retail forever was a big one.

Biggest success?
Getting a real job, and more than that, getting a career that I can really sink my teeth into.

Biggest failure?
Not getting what I want gracefully.

Heathier or Sicker?
Healthier, I think...at least, spiritually.

Best spontaneous fun?
Eric's Thanksgiving visit.

Learned the most?
That life is much nicer to me than I deserve.

What I definitely don’t want to see in the next year?
More letting my personality get in the way of new experiences. I keep forgetting that this isn't a rehearsal.

TV puke?
Why on earth would I watch TV I didn't like? Although the thought of reality TV makes me ill.

TV-Wow?
I (heart) Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I admit it.

Biggest change?
Starting to acquaint myself with who I am, rather than who I think I should be.

Biggest loss for mankind?
the tsunami springs to mind.

Biggest Disappointment?
That stupid motherfucking election. And all the other infringements on our rights.
