Happy new year, everyone!



Thank you, all of you, for making 2008 such a wonderful year. Thank you to those I've known for a while, for your ever-present friendship. Thank you to those I've known for a shorter while, for bringing new and interesting things into my life.

Special thanks to those of you I've met up with in Japan -- I hope I'll be able to spend lots more time with you in the future! Last year, one of my resolutions was to meet new people and make new friends. While I had no idea that it would happen because of Prince of Tennis (back then, PoT was nothing but a large, unwatched chunk of my hard drive!), I'm so, so grateful to have met you all and to have spent such fun times with you, and look forward to getting to know you even more.

Now, before I get [even more] misty-eyed, a brief run-down of the past year: 2008 )

So, how did I do regarding my resolutions for 2008? (Italics are for "sort of did it" ^_^) A year ago, I said I would... )

And in 2009, I will:

- Get divorced
- Attempt level 2 of the JLPT (K is in on this, and we have plans for weekly kanji cramming sessions)
- Do weekly reviews and Travelpod updates. Really.
- Go after what I really want.

I'll leave the recap of my Awesome New Year Night & Sunrise for another entry, because this one is long enough as it is.
2008 - The First Sentence of the Month:

January: Usually, I'm fairly good at multitasking, so it's annoying that there are certain things that I can't do at once, such as type and peel a clementine.
February: White Noise 2 is the kind of movie I'd never bother watching unless I were already sitting in front of the screen and someone handed me some all-dressed Ruffles and pressed play, but I must admit that the idea of Starbuck and Captain Reynolds together is pretty hot.
March: This week, a book and, to switch things up a bit, some music!
April: Waking up at 6 was not as brutal as I thought it would be, despite the fact that my cunning plan of going to bed early (for once!) was foiled by my taking longer than I'd have liked to fall asleep.
May: Um, yeah... Even without the alcohol in my system, those damn French keyboard get me every time.
June: Our weekend in Osaka was lots of fun -- may I suggest that Nara makes a better day trip from Osaka rather than Kyoto?
July: I AM CONNECTED!!!
August: I'm officially on vacation until the 18th!
September: *praying for the weather to stay nice so I can toss the kids in the pool after lunch*
October: I just got back from Hokkaido and I've got to get to bed, because I've got to get up and go to work tomorrow (;__;)
November: Anybody up for doing anything tomorrow or Monday?
December: Today I splurged on strawberries, cream and wine, but my throat is still sore and I don't feel like eating right now.

Conclusion: A good year. XD
