the_siobhanI've heard from a couple of sources now the idea that "how you start your New Year is how the rest of your year will go."
I started my New Year's at work. Which actually sounds about right. I've set myself up to have a fairly arduous path for the next couple of years.
New Year's Day, however, was a lot of fun. I invited a bunch of people to come over to the house and fed everybody massive quantities of food and drink. Then we lay across the living room and watched cheesie movies. (Barbarella! Truly a classic of the bad soft-porn sci-fi genre.)
When midnight struck I was back at work.
So if the concept holds true, next year looks to be shaping up in much the way that I expected it to. Lots of labour sandwiching pleasant interludes of fun times with good companions.
And now it is January 2nd in my time zone. So I'm officially 40 now.
Heh. Still here. Still weird.

Date: 2003-01-02 12:05 pm (UTC)Made it another year eh? Good job. heheh
I wanted to thank you very much for the invitation to your house for New Year's Day. I really did not get a chance to thank you or wish you properly. I am always a bit shy with a big group of people as well - being a lone wolf and all. I hope we could go out one time and do another lunch and deep conversation.
regards,
cam

According to my calculations
Date: 2003-01-02 02:20 pm (UTC)Aren't you glad to know that?
Happy b-day!
* Everyone always gets confused when I use the word "birthday" to refer to an event that only occurs every 3-and-a-bit years, so I've chosen a new word.

Date: 2003-01-03 07:20 am (UTC)The word is also used by botanists to indicate the vertical central circulatory and support structures of a plant: the stem of a flower or the trunk of a tree. In this context, the stele is the connection from the roots to the leaves and flowers.
The combination of these two definitions is an accurate summary of what these occasions represent to me: boundaries, celebrations of past achievements, connections to future growth.
