In the year of the delta
December 31, 2007 | Filed under: Great moments in narcissism, Listy
“Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.” ~Benjamin Franklin
Neil pointed out to me earlier that this year seemed to be particularly difficult for me. And it was in that purely narcissistic, how can I handle all of this good fortune that seems to have swung in my direction, type of way. I can say it over and over and over again but I do not do change well. It’s like it’s physically impossible for me to accept anything different without a lot of strenuous and unnecessary thought that only serves to making me feel far more insane than I did at the onset. I’d make up some resolution about seeing the error of my ways but I know I wouldn’t keep it. I know that by Wednesday I’d be back where I was today; slumped over in horrible posture while abusing On Demand. So instead of some intense and verbose look back on 2007 the year of the cleavage baring dresses, benzodiazepines and Southwest airlines, I figured the following posts would pretty adequately sum up my year*.
January Crush, redux
February That’s just the way it is
March Pot o’ Gold
April The Queen of Everything
May Soon to be Pooping Rainbows
June Life Changing
July A Beautiful Reciprocal Arrangement
August Sooner
September Come Hither
October Diminishing Marginal Utility
November Departure
December Sporadic Verbosity

Ah, Mr. Franklin. Such a wise and electric soul, that one.
I love this idea of monthly posting recaps for the year-end. I love the idea too of getting to hang out with you in the near(ish) future. I might even add that to my list of resolutions, although I did swear to limit it to five and five only.
Happy! 2008.

I do not do change well, either, even if it’s GOOD change. I am so routine that you could set your clock by me.
I’m getting better at it as I age, but it’s baby steps.
Happy New Year, friend.

You may hate change, but I’m still hoping to see you poop some rainbows in 2008.
Loralee says:
I think I could read you all day long.
P.S.
You should consider coming to visit Utah. It’s like going to a whole other PLANET, but it won’t cost you 20 million bucks.
I’m just sayin…

What an excellent idea. Anyway, you may not like IT, but change apparently likes you. Personal Growth and all that jazz. Anyway, Bossy will take you any way you are - you are a queen.
