A new year...

And with this new year comes my 50th post! True, a lot of these blog entries have been dull and perhaps a bit repetitive, but I have enjoyed writing them nonetheless.

As is the case with each new year I have been doing a lot of reflecting on the past 365 days recently and I have come to realise that making "New Year's Resolutions" isn't going to help me change the bad habits in my life, I have to actually want and be willing to change these things. I intend, yes intend not resolve, to stick to the goals I have set for myself recently, most notably to get back into shape and move back to England.

As for my final night of 2007 and my first day of 2008 - well, nothing too spectacular. Last night I went to a lovely dinner with five of my dear friends followed by some drinks at Eric's house and then dancing at a club downtown - not really the perfect end to a really great night, but the company was good. Though, I must admit when it came time to ring in the new year, the few people that I wanted around most were a million miles away. Not literally of course, but they felt further than ever before.... wow, I am so dramatic sometimes. But it's true. The ones who I really wanted to start the new year with are on the other side of a very large pond and I am struggling to get there. What's more, they don't even know how much they mean to me (though I do tell them every chance I get how much I miss them and can't wait to see them), and maybe if I'm lucky and brave I will find a way to convey how important they are to me when I see them in a few weeks.

I thought I would have more to say in this post, but as it turns out I don't want to share too much of myself on this blog tonight. I tend to share too much of myself with the rest of the world and sometimes I get hurt because of is... that is not why I am holding back tonight, I'm just not in the mood to blabber on about my oh-so-sad state of affairs.

Again, I am overly dramatic.
Happy 2008.
