2005, quite frankly, exists as a giant hole in my head. It is like marshmallow fluff- fun, but not very substantial (kinda like Alan Rickman, huh Miss Inertia?). After the Great Life Overhaul of 2004, 2005 was more like Life Tweeking.

I busted my ass in lab a lot more. I got better at belly dancing. I wrote fiction a little more (although not as much as I wanted). I won 2nd place in a story contest, which got me thinking hey, maybe I'm not too bad at this writing thing. My music geek quotient went up a couple points. I tried new things, like gravestone rubbing and lace knitting.

And so was 2005.


Here I am, at the beginning of 2006. My eyes have apparently decided they're going to be green instead of blue-grey-green. I'm not going to argue. One of my resolutions is to at least wear lipstick from now on. I took a picture before this without lipstick and I looked like death warmed over in the microwave.

So, as for resolutions:
1. Graduate goddamnit
2. Set up two writing schedules- one for science, one for fiction
3. Set up a dance practice schedule
4. Wear makeup, dress 3/4 decent, start wearing jewelry again
5. Get macrophage paper published
6. Get one fiction piece published

Nothing earth shattering, or even that deep. My main focus this year really needs to be getting my research and my thesis done. And enjoying my (hopefully) last year in Woosta!.
