Hey All,
Super duper excited about Christmas this year. My tree is all decorated, my lights are hung up and as the year prepares to go out with a bang, it makes me reflect upon the last twelve months. What have I done, what have I achieved, when have I laughed or cried and then I hope it was in equal measure. Who did I fall for? Who did I fall out with?
This year I moved twice, once to live with a friend, and once again when I realised how badly I needed personal space. The house I have now is absolutely perfect and Ive been greedy in showing it to people. I keep finding reasons to be left alone in my home 
Its near the beach still, its on the second story so I have nice views and nice night breezes. Theres trees which fill my house with their scent on said night breezes. Sasha loves it too, continually running up and down the stairs.
This year I got a new job. I've moved roles several times within the company, but have settled now to Healthscreening Network, helping to keep the nurses happy! I do a good job and got a pay rise last week, which made me feel good and valued for a change! Yay!
I started a novel again, but was halted due to personal reasons, but I feel really good about the story, so I've picked it up again. So many ideas, too much imagination lol. My writing has taken a small back seat as I've tried to build my career a little, but I am not leaving it behind as I love it too much and when I start to not write, all these weird things come out of my mouth and i have to write so I talk and act like a normal person, hehe! I havent entered any competitions this year though, which I will have to rectify in 2008.
Emotionally this year has had ups and downs. I disengaged myself from childhood friends who I had grown out of and should have done sooner. I lost friends who didnt understand that I work a LOT and that I believe in quality, not quantity in friend visits. What I've been left with has surprised me and in a good way. I think I really learned who my true friends were this year and I am so happy with the result.
I got over one old flame, for real this time too. We are talking, but its definately just friends when we do, which is rare anyway, due to my busy schedule. I fell hard for someone this year and it felt good, not torn or angsty. He is a good friend now and even if nothing ever happens, I am just glad to have someone so... I dunno, kinlike in my life. I have made some new friends and gained a semi-social life. I even go to the local pub near work and have fun. Which is new to me, the moper
I have a much more positive outlook on life. Things happen and I move on, its something I realised. The past wont change, but the future might, so concentrate on that and you should be fine. I'm even happier with who I am. I am a good person who is rather silly and people accept that and so do I.
I better go as I have a lot of work to do today, Christmas comming and all. If I dont get on here again soon, Merry Christmas peeps and have an awesome 2008
