Hello again, everyone! Happy 2006!
Have your holidays been merry? Have you completed your list of new year's resolutions? Has everything already got screwed up within hardly a fortnight in the resetted year? It has over here, and I thought coming here to vent about it was gonna be my first step to my "getting back to the boards" plan, sponsored heavily by my dearests smaugy and punkyfins =) I think it started with me having a flu throughout the WHOLE holidays. It went like this: i said byebye to the people at work, had an evening out and then spent the rest of the time in bed, until a morning i stepped out of it, got dressed, and was back to work again! hooray!  Then, five days through the year, the videorecorder died on me. With inside a tape. one of my favourite movies (la haine). Which I had to watch to write down a review for this month's magazine. (The positive side of this is that i re-discovered a whole set of cursing vocabulary i didn't even remember i used to speak often.) Eight days through the new year i was packing stuff i'd hide in the attic (after spending two days helping my fellow humanists moving to a new place, so you can immagine the physical and mental state i was in, already) and all of a sudden two boxes slide off of nowhere, fall on the floor, kind of burst into pieces and scatter mountains of clothes around the apartment which very much looked like a warzone. Finally yesterday, after i recovered partly my health, my strength and my mental equilibrium i found in my mailbox a number of anonymous messages full of personal insults to myself. So, all in all, a pretty fuckin' good year so far.  How about yours? This message has been edited.

Not as interesting as yours, I have to admit.

Aw honey, what a way to start the year. Things can only get better though, huh?
Are we talking email mailbox or actual snailmail mailbox, 'cos if it's the latter then you should think about telling the police or something. Its pretty disgusting either way and someone deserves a good swift kicking because of it. Hope you're feeling 100% soon and your mystery scumbag crawls back into whatever cesspool they came out of. |

unfortunately, i'm clueless, though i suspect i know who this person could be linked to, since one of the insults was posted on an old livejournal entry of mine. and Joe, they're webmail insults, sent via mail form from my homepage. i have the ip addresses from the message log, which confirmed me that this person lives in my same city. but yeah, not something i was quite prepared to face and definetely not a mood booster  uhm, thanks Pendragon, even though i'm not sure i understood your message?  ETA - and may it never be that i miss on huggling back Mythos, i missed you guys as well. and you, i miss being awkward and boring you via IM  "If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books."

Don't worry about Pendragon. He's our board oracle.

Well, last year was... interesting. Lost my virginity, which was... interesting.
Had some successes at work, got a nice raise as a Christmas present, and I'm happy with where I am now, but things are definitely much, much more complicated than they were a year ago.This year's been okay so far. I'm slowly getting back on track (I hope). But somehow I think that the complications will have complications... Perhaps I should call things 'complex' instead. Does have a better ring to it, doesn't it? Oh, and welcome back Alinda! It wasn't the same without you - and by that I mean that things are better now you're back.

I'm broke, working three minimum wage jobs, and I have to find a new bank, because mine screwed up, and then yelled at me for bringing it to their attention. Not only have I not found a real job, I have no idea when I would have time to look for one, what with my working three crappy jobs. It's all a big happy circle of fun!

You know sweetheart... I'm glad you're back.
As for the pretty good year thing: as my boyfriend said: "surely no one *else* can die next year?" So we have high hopes for the year of the dragon. Good luck abounds... ~You are a *Taverner*. Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication, you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~ -Royko |
