For the last day of 2002, a repeat from last year--a writing assignment. Describe your year in exactly 25 words. Can you do it? Here's mine:
Celebrating four years in Japan, I exercised my right brain and my poetic voice. I filmed then procrastinated. I waited for the axe to fall.
Cool. I posted mine here Happy new year, everyone.
Sorry, here's the link: http://www.arsenic.net/archives/000082.php#000082
Up, down, turn around, love, marriage, acheiving one goal and then moving on to achieve others, finding my feet and my place, friends, fun, stress and relief.
I went to Belgium and met Niko and Manneken Pis. Played with Julia in London. Got a great new website; went to a photography workshop.
A good year. Finally got out of the house and met Princess Aiko's elephants at Ueno Zoo! In the house, I rampaged and ate peanuts.
Zoupi brought Maneken Pis cards from Belgium and I've won at clock solitaire 1,212 times in a row. Kristen taught me to chat on IRC.
I am the Postmaster of my own domain! Kristen gave me lots of hugs; I went to the zoo and a bonenkai. I wore hats.
Celebrated first year of marriage..new baby boy,worked,slept, ate. Virginia beach. New car,new job. Realized needed more me time ..maybe next year!
Travel, work. Atlanta, Minneapolis, San Francisco, the Rocky Mountains and more. Having too much fun? Broken bones for Hannah and kindergarten for Emma. Endings and beginnings.
I heard truth, loved more, fostered kittens, harvested food, grew flowers, propped plays, discovered a Beara treasure, celebrated words, smiled and hugged an ailing Mom.
