Happy New Year!

[vixalicious]

In the year 2007 I resolve to: Have at least one orgasm per hour. Get your resolution here.

Hey, I won't make it, but this is one time failing would still be a lot of fun :)

I'm back from the Black Hole of Technology™ - a.k.a. southwestern Missouri. I had a great Christmas with my family, very low-key. I got back to Atlanta in time to celebrate New Year's Eve with David, which was lovely. They say that whatever you do on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is what your year will be like... let's hope!

Anyway, a look at 2006 in retrospect:

• January: I went back on the road after 6 months of working from home.


• February: I spent most of this month focusing on learning a new product for work.


• March: And then teaching other people how to install it, after two weeks of learning. Also, I started taking an online class on 'How to Get Published.'


• April: Went to London to visit my better half, knightette, for the first time.


• May: My work sent me to Dublin and to Paris, where I got to see the Catacombs and the tombs of a lot of famous dead people.


• June: My sister and I went to Chicago to see the Tutenkhamen exhibit and the musical 'Wicked.' Went sight-seeing in Venice Beach, and in Buenos Aires, Argentina - my first visit to South America.


• July: Spent the 4th at home with my family. Went for a drink at the Viper Room in L.A.


• August: Trained at the hotel where they filmed part of "Little Miss Sunshine." My work sent me to London, so I got to help knightette celebrate her birthday as well as meeting anatsuno.


• September: I took a four-week sabbatical from my job, which I spent in a language immersion program in Toulouse, France.


• October: Started working on a project that would keep me home for the majority of the year. David and I started dating. Saw the Scissor Sisters in concert. I decide to buy a house.


• November: Tamii and Deb came for a visit. I voted! Saw Death Cab for Cutie in concert. Went to England with my parents and my sister to spend Thanksgiving with Brad and Lucy.


• December: Started looking for a house. My parents came for a visit to help me.

I don't really make New Year's resolutions... I think it's a bad idea to start out the New Year out setting oneself up for failure. I usually set myself one resolution, with the caveat that it has to be both easy and positive, but if I did this last year, I've forgotten what it was. What I do as well is make a short list of things I'd like to accomplish in the New Year. This year's list:

• *Finish Edinburgh and 2002 scrapbooks - done! I've got one picture I need to print and put in the 2002 scrapbook, but other than that it's done so I'm counting it.


• *Write a proposal for "Waiting to Fall" and send to at least 3 agents - I did write a proposal, as part of the 'How to Get Published' class I took, but I haven't sent it anywhere.


• *Work on abs and stomach - I didn't really do this, although I did go to the gym pretty regularly all year.


• *Organize iPod playlists - I know this sounds silly, but when you consider I've got 2500 songs (at least) on my iPod, it's a daunting task. I am currently at 1327.

And now on to 2007!

Resolution:

• To try to relax and not schedule every minute of every day.

Goals:

• Buy a house.


• Finish 2003 scrapbook, France and England scrapbook.


• Finish my short story, The Sultan's Wife, and try to get it published.


• Finish my iPod playlist organization.

I wonder how long it would take to become thoroughly sick of having an orgasm an hour, for a year? Might be interesting to try to find out... ;)

I'm willing to sacrifice myself for science :D

I remember reading a medical history of a woman who would spontaneously orgasm, and unfortunately, it wasn't as pleasant as we'd like to think. Could get sort of painful after a while, is my guess. Not to mention -- would be hard to explain if you're out in public: "Oh don't mind me -- I'm only orgasming"...

Yeah, I saw that on TV once, I think on Grey's Anatomy. I think you'd definitely OD on sensation very quickly. And embarrassing, yeah - one scene I remember was the patient trying very hard to hide her, um... reactions while her dad was visiting her.


omg, icon! *giggles*

My New Year's Resolution is always: Have More Fun. I get a lot of grief for it from my brother (who still can't get over the year I gave up olives for Lent. ;)

Yay 2007! It's going to be a big year, but for me only by association! My cousin should have a baby (if all goes well, she's only a few weeks pregnant) and a couple I'm friends with are getting married.

Hey, fun is important!

And you never know, 2007 could be a big year for you too.

You forgot that you saw me a third time, yo!

[vixalicious]

It's all about you, innit? :D
