Sounds like you had a good year, Davros. You didn't, by chance, celebrate the arrival of the new year at Gloucester Park, did you? *Edit: Nevermind. I missed the bit about the BBQ.
Good Bits:
-Knucklin' down and acquiring a home that i can call mine, landlords excepted. No more sharing. No more compromises. No dependants. If this don't give me some focus for achieving other goals, nothing will. Having it finalised and decked out for living before the time i allowed myself (25th bday) was just sweet. Stuff like that doesn't usually work with me.
-New Year's Eve at Gloucester Park. I've had a bit of an aversion to crowds this year. Getting old i guess. I haven't been to a single concert or large event all year. But damned if i was gonna ruin another New Year's Eve. So i went with a few mates and had a ball. Best fireworks display i've
ever seen too.
-Ironworks. After a two year hiatus (sp?) where i couldn't log on to IW, a format or five - for different reasons - saved the day. Didn't realise how much i missed this place 'til i got back. That was around June some time.
-Clearing old debts and making positive steps to stay in front. It's ferkin good to get something other than debt mail in the box. Erm, actually that's the only snail mail i get... Somebody write me a letter!
-Winning first division for the $32 million New Year's Lotto. Of course, the shops aren't open 'til tomorrow, so i can't check the tickets just yet. But it's gonna happen...
Bad Bits:
-Getting dumped the day before Valentine's. I guess i should be thankful she didn't wait one more day, eh? But i'd still bought her a present which i had to offload on someone. So i gave it to her best girly friend at the time. [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/finger2.gif[/img]
-Getting lax with achieving my Trade Qualifications. Shoulda been done by now. And i should be out there somewhere earning big dollars. No excuses. But i did make it my resolution for this year.
-Getting screwed by, and losing a good friend to the mental condition resulting from her heroin addiction. I now know that professionals deal with this stuff for a reason. But if you're doing what you can to help them when they cut you... Well, it hurts.
-Not making any significant progress with my own habits. A councillor, yes. But beyond that?.. Oh well, i guess that's why i'm still goin strong after New Year's.
