a ramble here?

so i am now updating on a monthly basis...
i am trying out the use of no caps (i find it easier and do everything else electronically -aside from papers- this way anyways).
i have a visitor in from australia. it's strange, you forget how well you get along with someone, you don't talk to them for a while because there is no time, and then you see them for even just 10 minutes and you realize that though you haven't seen them for almost two years, nothing has actually changed at all, even if the two of you have changed completely. but then again, you find that other people come back into your life and you have absolutely nothing in common. i guess the world turns in funny ways (or really always the same way, but each year in your life is different). and how appropriate to be talking about each year, since tonight is new years. and somehow or other i am going to a party that i never thought i would have ended up going to. people who i don't normally hang out with, and an odd mix of people at that. it should be fun though.
this post is relatively disjointed and i apologize for that, but that being said i am going to move on.
about a week ago i went to a dance retreat, and i am slowly recovering. my feet are still a bit sore and i am absolutely exhausted, but smiling and happy and i had a great time with some really fun people. now i have this friend in from out of town and we are going to go to disneyland next week which should be fun, and i haven't gone since june (that's a long time for me), so that makes me pretty happy. and tonight is new years, not entirely sure how i feel about that one, this year has had a lot of ups and downs for me, but then again, don't they all? and i can't help but wonder what this new year will bring... at this point however, my years are all sort of blending together and the only real difference is the last number in the date and my age. well here's to wishing right? :)
may you all (all 2 of you -wink-) have a happy and healthy new year! ciao...
