The obligatory 2003 retrospective

[kjpepper]

This year I...

• got cable after 2 years of no TV
  
• somehow found myself mommy to one very extra, very dumb, very sweet boycat
  
• lived through the end of the friendship between two of my best friends.
  
• got thoroughly addicted to Samurai Jack (hmm, need to tape the 3rd season...)
  
• was actually in a position to give some helpful emotional support to harinezumi. He knows to what I refer.
  
• used a snowblower, power sander, and nasty noxious wallpaper stripper for the first time. Would definitely do the power sander and snowblower thing again. :) Mmm, girlz and power machinery... *drool*
  
• moved across town again. This involved the painting and renovation of our current space, which was an agonizing three months of hell.
  
• got Livejournal!
  
• witnessed beatgoddess compose the Penis Truck song
  
• got broadband
  
• Went to Six Flags/Riverside for the first time. It kicked ass.
  
• Stopped speaking to one of my sisters officially. With good reason.
  
• watched birkwelch and sundart get together after nearly six months or so of entertaining the though in the theoretical realm. Wackiness ensues.
  
• discovered I like fresh picked blackberries
  
• started going to Haven again on a less than regular but more that erratic basis, thanks to inle_rah and gossamer_gull
  
• proved that really strong relationships can do the polyamory thing quite well
  
• fell in love to a devastating level twice
  
• helped darkling_dreams move from CT to MA
  
• completed a gorgeous photo project featuring sundart as my model. :) Will post some of the rated G pics at some point, now that birkwelch has finally gotten his birthday/Christmas present.
  
• dreadlocked beatgoddess's hair
  
• started collecting Strangers In Paradise and Rurouni Kenshin graphic novels
  
• hooked up with timarok for a couple of weeks. More wackiness ensues, including me having sex with a bio-boy for the first time in nearly a decade. Survey says... :D
  
• Went to Six Flags/Riverside Fright Fest. It kicked ass. Especially the Superman.
  
• had the best pirate halloween EVER
  
• saw the last of the Matrix (hopefully) and the last of the Lord of the Rings *cry*
  
• recanted everything derogatory I ever had to say about Buffy the Vampire Slayer
  
• skipped a major biofamily holiday for the first time ever
  
• saw harinezumi for the first time in 2.5 years
  
• survived THE most stressful six weeks at work EVER
  
• made a few kickass mixes. :)

Stuff to do in 2004:

• get the damned drivers license already
  
• graduate
  
• figure out what the hell I'm going to do with the rest of my life :)
  
• make more mixes
  
• pick up musical stuff again. I've missed the violin, the clarinet and the singing...
  
• Write write write write write!
