what do you see happening to you in the next year? not necessarily resolutions, but what do you think LIFE will bring you?

i feel like this next year will be all about ME for me, meaning a lot of self exploration, trials, tribulations, and growth. i start school right out of the gates, so a lot of it will be stepping out of my comfort zone and beginning to learn and evolve in that respect. and because of it being school, i feel that a lot of it i shall have to travel alone, as no one will be there to hold my hand the entire way (which i've always been fine with most of my life, anyway. well, my adult life.)

i also for some reason am convinced i am going to lose a parent.

i'll probably end the year single, too, as i seem to be eternally single.

i shall also be saved several times emotionally by my wonderful circle of friends, either directly or indirectly.

in other news, i am in LOVE with rum balls.

A change in the calendar has never heralded a significant change in my life. When the year reads 2006, I'll still be going out to the theater a couple times a week and coming home to an empty house. I'll feed and play with squirrels frequently, take lots of pictures, design and make clothes, go to work, take classes, spend the occasional evening at home with my cats piled on top of me. You know, the usual. There isn't much difference between 12/31/05 11:59pm and 1/1/06 12:01am.

i agree, though between 12/31/05 and 12/31/06....

so far, it's been a great year overall.

I really hope you're off on the parent thing. I have a really good feeling about next year, I can't quite put my finger on why.

i know that mom's been sketchy with her health for awhile, so i was thinking it was going to come true. i also haven't heard from my father in quite awhile, though i've sent him emails and left him messages.

shrug. whatever will be, will be.

The New Year will bring more changes for me than I care to think about. I will graduate college after 10 years of part time study and have to find a job so I can start climbing my way out of the debt I have created in the last two years.

I found that I'm way less depressed if I take every day as it comes. I have an idea though that I'm probably going to be cold and surly since that's what I am every winter :-)

I actually have a different 'gut feeling' about you and your romantic life- it practically woke me up a few nights ago.
*hugs*

yeah, quit giving me insomnia!! *jk* nah I was half dreaming and got this feeling like you are probably going to meet someone at your classes, just cuz..it's such a nice atmosphere- learning something new with someone else.

Actually college was the last time I had 2 guys liking me at once. That never has happened before or since :-P People are much more 'open'

awww. maybe once i start getting more into different classes - i haven't met anyone i would even be remotely interested in, other than the guy that talked to me in the parking lot over summer quarter that i never saw again.

ya never know, though ;) all it takes, sometimes, is that one meeting!

aww I read that and was so excited for you, but I hope you see him again soon :( it's always frustrating to have that one meeting that never comes again..and then you keep running into the people you don't want to run into. Like this one guy who gives me the willies a bit (who doesn't remember me every time I see him) I see everywhere around town in random areas.

i think it's possible for me to lose a parent, too. :'(

i think this year will bring more school, more friends, and possibly an engagement ring.

mine are all still in tact, for the most part - have you come out of the year unscathed so far?

I'm hoping I get more confident with school related stuff. I see some more tough times like this past quarter, but I think it will be different since I have already survived some of it.

I think I'll still be married.
