Heheh, and by contrast ... it's been the easiest year for me to document from the internet - because I've been more or less maintaining an el jay for just about 1 year, since Dec. 13, 2006. (
I could never manage to sift through my message board posts - OMG, that would be a bear, and reveal only the bear that is my quasi-fictional internet persona).
Though it apparently bears no relation on how well I've treated others, I note that I pretty happy throughout 2007 - and was only depressed for a few weeks last winter, 2 weeks mid-June, and a horribly depressing week right after Thanksgiving (ugh, thanks!)
The rest of the year was lots of fun. We had some arranged swankings (1 or 2 at least) to pass the dead of winter (a tradition I hope we keep up with dead winter fast approaching), had some southwestern travels - Vegas a couple of times, my inaugural Sierra Park for the great camping trip, and the trek to the depths of the Grand Canyon which was the culmination of many years' desire on my part and was the last place I pledged taking zapppop to (and which kicked off a half-year coda as re-boyfriends which, though it ended poorly, made the 2nd half of my year quite fulfilling) - plus had a goodly amount of fun with friends of all stripes all year long.
Much as I think it's silly to measure such a fluid thing as time with the arbitrary slice of calendar year, the last 12 months were on the whole quite good. I hope that can be said of
any 12-month period (heheh, less likely guaranteed if we slice it up by, say, 3 months' worth).
2008 is, by contrast, not looking good - at least to start. I'm switching jobs and not happy about it. I'm suddenly single again, and not happy about it. The situation with my condo and my mom is still naggingly fluid and unresolved. Then there's that dead of winter thing which I never really like.
But I trust the new year will, once it's done, provide another 12 month's average of good times and peaceful heart.
My best wishes for the coming year to all ye swankers on ze LoT.
