Weird. The year’s almost over and everything’s different!

I think I’ve had the kind of year everyone tries to have every January… picked up some new hobbies, kept this blog up!, I bought a car yesterday–which is exciting–switched jobs, frolicked in rolling hills and felt the dew of summer! Metaphysically speaking. I also travelled quite a bit, which felt good.

Plus it’s nice having somewhere to go every so often. It gives you stuff to talk about with your peers. There’s the hype of GOING. Then your loved ones treat you even a little bit special just because, you know, there’s always the risk that you’ll die somehow. True.

Plus, last time, when I was in Zurich for a (god forsaken 11 hour layover those sadists) layover, I was only steps away from a crazy man shooting pigeons. He could have shot me.

The risk of dying when you’re at a destination that requires air travel is high. I survived the year! And then there’s the possibility that you’ll love the place you’re going to so much that you’ll never come back. This one is more likely.

Also I did a lot of crafts, which is just nice. Cooked more– a good skill to invest in. The dream boards ended up paying off. I have emerged more well rounded than I began.

I suppose were doing quite well if we can do at least one good, decent, difficult-to-do thing every year.

Otherwise we face only the wrath of stagnation.
