2006 -- An Improvement
Jan. 2nd, 2007 02:49 pmHow do you measure, measure a year? Well, first you steal a song line, then you direct people to the archive of your LJ so they can see the year chronicled in detail.
By and large, things took a J-hook and improved this past year. Not that the few before it were terrible, but this one brought a few good things I wasn't expecting. Hoping for perhaps, but not expecting.
Easily the biggest part of my non-work life was Theatre@First. It continues to grow, and I feel I've grown with it. I'm exceedingly proud of what we've done together, and what we're still doing. 2006 brought the fun of being in the cast of You Can't Take It With You. Then came the new experience of directing a one-act in the summer festival. Autumn brought the back-to-back typhoon of the PMRP Halloween radio drama (I was an actor and foley artist), and producing the Winter Wonderland fundraiser cabaret (producing being a supposedly fun thing I'll never do again, but at least it was a financial success). No rest for the wicked -- I'm in rehearsal for the radio drama to be performed at Arisia, and am helping with the 2007 one-act festival. And I'm sure that's just the beginning.
The biggest surprise of the year was
beowabbit coming into my life. His wabbity love is a joy I'd almost given up hoping for, and I keep finding new things to adore about him. Thank you for being who you are and for loving me, my darling sweetie.
This was the year that I stopped obsessing about my age, which I'd been quietly (or not quietly) doing constantly since age twenty-nine. This year, it just stopped. I'm young, and that's that until I personally decide otherwise.
There was one important thing that didn't happen -- it had been a goal to find a better-paying job, and I did essentially nothing to that end. Too much life, too many projects -- they were all worth it but I did lose sight of that one non-impossible goal. I'm not one to make New Year's resolutions, but this year I have to. Moving forward with my career is my one and only resolution for 2007. May the search lead to greener pastures with more wildflowers.
And for you, more green and flowers, too. :-)
