Poll: Year End

[thefourthvine]

I've seen lots of people doing year-end wrap-ups, but, well, I don't really have a lot to wrap up. You all know how my year went. Instead, I thought I'd ask you: how was your year? Are you happy, baby? (I'm also curious because a lot of people seem to have had absolutely terrible 2007s; I'm wondering if it was just the Cursed Year or what.)

And the question at the end is a very important one. Best Beloved and I were talking about that story, and we totally disagreed about what happened. I'd like to be proved right by majority rule, please. Voting is key.

Yeah, it's hard to put a number on such an up-and-down year...basically things were happy but a bit dull until about September. I had a nice boyfriend and a nice job which were fine but not amazingly fulfilling.
THEN all of a sudden it was like BAM BAM BAM.

There was a big fire at the camp where I grew up, and a lot of buildings burned, though not the most important ones, and not my parents' house. So that sucked, but it actually makes it a lot easier for them to do improvements that have been needing done for a long time, and in the long run the forest will be healthier.

And then the library had me working half the time at one branch and half at another, which was basically doing two jobs at the same time, very stressful, and concurrently I was applying for two OTHER jobs, one of which I got, yay.

But before I could even start the new job, my boyfriend broke up with me, and even though I had been thinking of breaking up with him, I was still really really sad...which happened at the same time there was a HUGE HUGE fire that burned up half the county (you may have seen it on the news).

And THEN I finally got to start the new job, yay, but right then we found out my dad had to have bypass surgery, so I was terribly worried that he would be that guy who dies on the operating table to teach a lesson to the new intern on the hospital TV show, right?
(I'm always wondering whose story I'm in, you know? Like when I was on jury duty, I kept trying to decide who was the main character--the judge? the defendant? the lawyer? me?)
Anyway, my dad came through the surgery just fine and he's recovering unbelievably quickly, hooray modern medicine.


So when I say I'm a bit sadder, I mean just in the sense that especially in the past few days I've been thinking a lot about things like Life and Death and Love and Work and Where Things Are Going and so on, but really I think everything that's happened is for the best and is setting things up for an excellent 2008.

...and that's my life story. Sorry. :)
