Ah, the end is near

Once again the end of the year is upon us, so I must reflect on the good and bad of the year:

First, the bad (get it out of the way):

• Za going AWOL
  
• North Merrick going AWOL
  
• Uncle Sid dying
• Robyn moving
• Costa getting too attached
  
• Dave going AWOL
• finding out that Curves was sold to new owners
  

Now the good:

• Friends who were there for me during the Za/North Merrick/Dave incidents
• meeting Robyn and drinking lots of wine with her
• new and better paying job
• Mom getting new and better paying job with Ellen
• FINALLY hooking up with Costa
• having an orgasm through BREATHING
• becoming better friends with Lisa, Fran and Michelle
• going to Villanova with Christine and learning all about African/Latin American dancing and drumming
• Harry Potter
• 311 two times in one year
• Seeing Dave M and knowing that he's as big as a house
• Scavenger hunt in Long Beach
• meeting the new owners of Curves and liking them
• realizing what I definitely want (and don't want) from a relationship

Though the bad list is much shorter than the good, I hope to have a better year next year than I did this. The beginning of this year was especially hard due to the double whammy of Za and North Merrick within a month of each other. The end of this year also delivered a bit of a blindside from Dave. I will be starting the new year in a different mindset than I did last year. I am single, in a job I love, surrounded by friends who love me for me. Who knows what will happen between now and next year. That's the beauty of life. It's unpredictable!
