Dear AGCB

Time for another confession: I don't feel up to party/socialize at New years Eve....
We're having dears friends over. We go way back and have shared lots of new years Eves together. All good memories.
But it seems my melancholy of the season isn't over yet. I'd prefer to just be with my family, watch some movie on TV and have a quiet dinner with some wine.
I'll just have to trust that my friends will cheer me up. They're the kind of persons with lots of energy. We always have deep discussions about life, love and the year to come.
I guess I'll be fine.
Lena

Dear Aggie:

I'm afraid I won't be spending New Years with the people I wish to, and can't quite get up the enthusiasm necessary to see to preparations for friends who may join us instead.

I should be in bed right now. I'll be going shortly.

I've been pretty quiet over the last number of days. Haven't talked to much of anyone about the holidays. Haven't been able to think of what to say yet.

Still bothered that there is no snow here.

*hugs*

Dear AGCB

My hubby and friends did cheer me up. We played old vinyl discs all night long as a guessing game. We each took turns to pick out an old favourite album (and we've got lots of them) and the game went on until 4.00 am.
As a tradition we also end the old year with a summary of the good and bad of the year that had passed and some hopes for the coming year. Nothing original, but still fun to express yourself and listen to the others.

The menue was:
Toast Skagen
Fillet of beef with chanterell sauce and baked potatoes
Blueberry and raspberry sorbet

I'm in a good mood today.

Dear AG blog;

Well, there comes a time, when one gets discontented, and says "everyone's changing.... they're going better, going new. Should I follow the example, go new just to stay "cool"?" You don't especially feel like changing, as it would entail you going out and looking for the "new", just for you..... You haven't got any new lined up just yet, you like what you've got right now, but still, every one else is changing, and you feel like you should keep up with them.... Although, you know that when someone else whom you know goes new, it's like they surgically removed their head and sewed on someone else's head, and you don't really know them any more. Yet they seem to be much better because of the change, and you are not, having not changed.....

And then you decide, "yep, I'm going to change. I'm getting tired of Horatio anyway, and I'm going to start looking for a new avatar".

As always,
Giligan

Dear AG,

I have found the true word for my aging condition and it is hyphenated.The word is Bi-focal. I have been cruising through life without ac care in the world until I went to go to my optometrist and he said the deadly word. Now mind you I have had great eyesight my entire life, this is a huge blow.
I know for a fact that my eyes weren't as good as they used to be but I could still drive and read fine enough so was okay with it. Little did I know the angry monster would run me down to this lensed world in the matter of just three years(yea I skipped a few years between visits). I am just now starting to use them and I have to admit they help. but at what price freedom.

Paul

Dear AG Community Blog,

Tomorrow morning, I'm finally leaving the US of A and going back to my home country of Canadia. School starts in less than a week. I'm not sure how that makes me feel.

My cousin just braided my hair into cornrows. It looks cute.

As with Christmas, I spent New Year's Eve with my extended family. Tons of fun and craziness, as one would expect. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I noticed that I'm getting to be at that age where a lot of people around me are starting to couple up, and in many situations, I end up being the third/fifth/seventh/etc. wheel when hanging out. This bothers me a lot less than it would most people, it seems. In fact, I'd say it's unnervingly comfortable.

Did I ever tell you that two short years ago, I was considering getting married? At nineteen, to boot? I can't tell you how glad I am that I didn't end up doing so; it would've ruined my life. Looking back at that time, deep down inside, I didn't really feel comfortable with being perceived as half a couple. Still don't. Don't think I ever will. I've always been a lone wolf. For me, finding love is more a matter of finding common ground with another lone wolf-type rather than finding someone to complete me. Weird, that.

They say, however, that the price of being a wolf is loneliness. Aching, bone-crushing loneliness. I know that all too well. And yet... if I hadn't been as lonely as it was, I wouldn't have come here. I wouldn't have had any motivation to leave Vancouver and start over again in a strange place where no one knew me. And I wouldn't have given myself the opportunity to work at a job I loved, to live the kind of life I've always dreamed of living.

Now, I'm coming back, and everything will be just as I left it. Only I'll have changed. A lot. It's gonna be interesting, I tell you.

See you on the other side,
Squinky

Squee!

Well, I'm back. And we've just discovered that the basement's been flooded. Oh well. At least my expensive musical instruments seem to be okay.

Well I'm glad for that. The musical instruments must be preserved.

And I'm glad you're back. Welcome home.

Lee.

I know that feeling. (We've actually just finished furnishing our basement after the flooding in March.)
Do you have a furnished basement?
Good luck on the renovation/repairing.

Dear AG Community Blog,

Why does it feel like the past few months were just a dream, and that I've just awakened from it, exactly as cold and lonely and scared as I was before?
