to paraphrase George Templeton Strong, I should be glad of its going, were it not that 2008 does not promise to be any better.


It seems like everybody is doing one of these, and I'll be shamelessly borrowing from many people's themes.

2007 statistics:
Diaries written: 51
Fish caught: ~50
Fish actually caught, kept and eaten: 0
New cars purchased: 1
Choirs sung in: 4
Miles walked: 500 (da DA da)
Pounds lost: 40
Promotions at work: 1
Promotions at work resulting in a title change or pay raise: 0 (I'm not complaining...yet.)
Air miles traveled: ~8500
Facebook photo albums: 13
Jonathan Coulton concerts attended: 1
Bishops installed: 1
Insane, passive-aggressive AIs defeated with only my brains and a gun that shoots freakin' portals: 1
Girls dated: 2
Times my heart was broken: 1

Goals for 2008:
Keep job
Have job title match what I'm actually doing
Become obese
Get third class aeromedical exam
Find voice teacher
Beat Half-Life Two: Episode Two on hard difficulty

I'm currently braising seven pounds of $1.99 chuck roast in my new 20-quart heavy-bottom stainless steel glass-lidded stock pot.  I'm doing that instead of going out and partying because I'm sure I would be a terrible party guest right now.  The holidays are always tough when you're single and they're even tougher when all of your friends are married or with somebody and you've just had your heart broken pretty badly.  You don't want to get on their nerves by whining but you don't really enjoy socializing either.  It's usually better than the alternative but there's something to be said for occasionally allowing yourself to just sit down and hurt, as the surviving Righteous Brother said.

So fold my heart up small
or break it into peices
find somewhere and keep it there
take it when you go
