New Year's Meme II

[mousme]

And here's the other meme I do every year. I don't like it as much, but it serves its purpose.

Here are last year's answers: http://www.livejournal.com/users/mousme/458086.html

Five things that 2005 taught me:

* When you think you have a handle on things, life will kick you in the teeth, and when you think life is just going to keep kicking you in the teeth, then it turns around and gives you a hand up, just to keep you guessing.
* Colourful socks can sometimes mean the difference between life and death
* Your breaking point is further away than you think it is
* You find and lose friends in the most unlikely places (I keep learning this one over and over again each year)
* Make wild and extravagant plans. That way, if you only accomplish even a fraction of them, it will still be extraordinary.

Five personally significant events of 2005:

* Capricornucopia
* Performing music in public for the first time in fourteen years
* Finishing NaNoWriMo for the first time ever! Yay me!
* Being in the Pride Parade (as opposed to just watching it go by)
* Moving away from the festering cess-pit that was my old apartment

Five things I want to do in 2006:

* Finish writing the novel I started for NaNoWriMo
* Go to Halifax and to Tulsa
* Become completely financially solvent (May as well keep this resolution there as long as I haven’t kept it)
* Catch up on my serial and actually keep up. Possibly start the other serial that’s banging around in my head.
* Do something spectacular (I may as well keep that vague)

Five things I don't want to do in 2006:

* Continue in my current financial situation
* Stagnate creatively
* Stay in this job unless they hire me permanently
* Get involved in any romantic relationships whatsoever.
* Lose any friends

Five people whom I'd like to know better in 2006:

* toughlovemuse
* looking4wings
* My friend K who isn't on LJ
* My friend N who isn't on LJ
* My friend C who isn't on LJ


For the purposes of this last list, I only listed people I have the potential to interact with IRL, and whom I don't feel I yet know as well as I could/should. Also, this list only allows five people, which is frustrating. I almost feel like leaving that part out entirely every year. It doesn't seem right, because I want to get to know *all* my friends better.

Yes. Yes. Also, yup.
