A new year, new problems, and new joys as well
Let me start by saying Happy New Year to everyone. Ive been thinking about it and although its a new year, it still seems to be "the day after" which comes and goes like any other day of the year. The thing that stands out most for me is that its a chance to reevaluate my life and let go of old ties and incorporate new ones.
With this, Ive decided to let go of old issues including people who havent kept in touch. Ive realized that each phase of life, we meet people. In my case ALOT of people but very few seem to be there as we move on. In my case, theres about 5 people from my high school days, and now about 10 people from Rochester I really care about and will keep in touch with. The rest are pretty much specs in history. You guys know who you are.
Another problem that seems to have arrisen is the rain. I mentioned how the rainy season began, but with it came the ant problem we are currently facing. All the ants have been driven indoors and from what I can gather, its an issue for many people this time of year. God I hate insects and bugs. We set ant traps down yesterday and it seems to have helped but theres still a ton to go and quite frankly it makes me squeem every time I find one crawling on my arm. ICK!!!!
With all that out of the way, New Years was a blast. I cant go into details but I believe it was one of those nights (from what I *do* remember), that left everyone in good mood. Of course it had the potential to be more of an orgy which Im kind of glad it didnt turn into. Who knows, it may have been fun lol.
Work was long and hard. Its tough getting back into the swing of things after having more days off than working. Coming back after a 5 day weekend, it was hard to remember when I left off, what needs to be done, who I hated there and why, as well as the usual bullshit that comes with the job. I survived though.
I started reading a new book on BART. No billy its not the Andy Worhol Diaries (too expensive for me to buy retail). I started reading Sick Burn Cut which Josh has been waiting for me to read. I havent made it through the first chapter yet, but it seems like it has potential. Ill keep you posted on that. Im really looking forward to Harry Potter The Half Blood Prince to come out in July.
Speaking of releases, theres so much this year to look forward to. The new Star Wars which will tie episodes 1 and 2 to 4, 5, and 6. I cant wait. Also the release of the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will be out later in the year. Read the book and its going to be rather good Im imagining. Its rumored to be a 4 hour movie with an intermission. Other possibilities of movies to be released are Bewitched, and The Willy Wonka remake. Oh boy, excitement.
Other interests that have been on my mind have been volunteer work, and getting a second job. Ive just been lazy about it in all honesty. I did manage to meet a couple of people on Sunday at the Edge who I gave my number to if they need help with any events. One guy I met, who was cute, turned out to be a sister out of drag. It was cool to meet him and hopefully we will keep in touch. Im curious to know more about how he got into it and perhaps its a venue for me to help out and do some good for the community and the world.
For those who arent familiar with The Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence should check it out. I think it would definitely be something to get into, Im just wondering about time and money. Those outfits must get expensive as well as makeup and such. But they do always seem to be the hit of the scene in SF.
As for everything else, things seem to be looking up for the year. Hopefully in the next few months Ill be able to get my new computer, new mattress, and start planning vacations. Josh and I want to take a cruise in May and I would like to head back and visit Rochester in July for pride. We will play it by ear and see what happens I guess. I cant believe Im only 5 months away from my 1 year mark in SF. Wow, time goes fast.
Thats about all to report. Hope everyone had a great holiday and hope for the best in 2005. Peace and love to all.
