Happy New Year!!

And here we are, in the early stages of another year. Just as we were, one year ago. A whole year of opportunities, many of which will go unnoticed, some of which will be wasted, and the rest of which, hopefully, will be made the most of.

Last year had its fair share of those for me. Job opportunities that I didn't look for, job opportunities which weren't properly followed up... and general life type things. The year itself was great. I did a lot of stuff that I'd never have done at home, watch an F1 race and see Sting live. Now, I feel that I want to visit on F1 race a year.

Personally the year was rather messy but seems to have resolved itself. In all these years, there's never been one in which I knew I would not get married. When I was younger it wasn't a formed thought. I didn't think at the start of the year that I won't be married this year. As I look back I realise that most of those years I didn't want to get married. But from 2003 I've been wanting to get formally engaged and married. I hoped that 2004 would be the year but when it didn't seem like it I went to study. Then I hoped 2005 would be the year and it was quite traumatic that it wasn't. I know right now that 2006 will definitely not be the year and... it feels quite fine.

It appears that 2006 will be the year of me. I get to do exactly what I want, when I want and not worry about much else. Naturally all this 'my way' will be tempered by my job, but personally, there's nothing I'm working towards. Is that good? I sure hope so :)
