"... and I feel fine!"

It's 2012, year of the apocalypse! Or whatever. I don't know about you, but I'm excited.

I haven't checked the Mayan calendar to figure out the exact date that the world is supposed to end, but that's okay. I figure it ought to be a surprise, don't you?

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to a quiet year. 2011 was a year of lots of stuff happening, most of it good but all of it kind of stressful nonetheless. So I want 2012 to be a year of quiet time, of settling into the new house and getting into some routines. I'm going to try a bunch of new things, but all of them small, local new things.

One thing I want to do this year is reconnect with my friends. What with my schedule and all the upheaval last year, I didn't see people as often as I wanted to. So here's to spending more time with friends and keeping in touch. I'm going to be posting here more regularly, and making a conscious effort to read my friends' page every day instead of once every few weeks when I remember that this LJ actually exists. LJ has always been my main source of news and what have you for my friends, and it's past time I started using it again.

So Happy New Year again, everyone! I look forward to spending a lot more time with you again this year. :)

There is debate as to when the exact date of the Mayan prediction either the 21st or 23rd of Dec...

I'm considering throwing a Mayacopolypse December 21st party involving MREs and lurking in the basement. And jaguar-proof umbrellas.

Seriously, though, it'll be great to see you posting regularly again. I've missed you.

Might I suggest that in order to satisfy the Maya component of your party, you ditch the jaguar-proof umbrellas in favour of massive quantities of chocolate. In order to help you keep it paleo, I can bring up great bags of unsweetened/unfattened cacao beans, nibs, chocolatl, etc. at some point during the year..

Here's to a Year of Moar Phnee!

Mayapocalypse is on the Winter Solstice, so Dec. 21. Of course it's really just a calendar rolling over event (kinda like the turn of the millennium was a few years back). I'm figuring that since celebrating the big rollover in the Christian calendar involved heavy consumption of the primary Christian entheogen (alcohol), the big rollover in the Mayan calendar should involve heavy consumption of the primary Mayan entheogen (chocolate). Needless to say, I'm really looking forward the the rollover, since my favourite drug in the whole world is that Mayan enthoegen :)

Catching Up

I'll be parsing your next few entries closely in a couple of minutes, but yeah, i need to stay closer to my LJ buds too. 2011 sucked, and i didn't want to go online only to whine.

2012 has gotta be better.

Meanwhile, congrats on Sergeant, and take a good look at T-Jane in my posts:

Also, I found a holiday gift for you from two? three? years ago and would like to mail it. Can you update me on your snail address? AT verizon DOT net, or any other addy you have for me. They all work.
