From late 2005 to late 2006, I had some murky times. It was a dark cavalcade of Fucking Growth Experiences: health problems, job problems, a breakup, the death of my last parent, a car accident, and chronic financial bullshit. Yoinks!

It wasn’t all shit stew, of course: I made some wonderful new friends, I created good art, I did a lot of thinking, I made a lot of grownup-style decisions.

I am pleased to report that this little boat got becalmed this year. Not having rough seas and sail-fluttering wind got a little boring at times but lorrrd it was nice not to puke over the railing and worry about the damn boat breaking apart. Not that 2007 has been all smooth sailing (to drive this fucking metaphor into the ground); I’m not out of the financial woods yet, and I still have not married a Count (c’mon already), but life: it’s better. It feels much better.

And for that, I give thanks.
