fluffymark | Creative year ahead, I hope

Belated new year fishies to everyone, and I hope it has been a happy one for all. *wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

Looking back, 2004 was a very good year, for once. I did lots of new and exciting things, made some very good new friends (

libellum and

karen2205 spring to mind, but there are many more). Older friendships, particularly

arkady,

mirabehn,

evil_nick and

the_lady_lily, and others have blossomed into wonderful things. And, of course, I met, seduced and fell in love with the pretty

cassielalone, and I am most happy because of that. *naughtysmile*

I stalked

daevas and her band RazorBladeKisses around the country which was a feat of extreme fangirliness. I attended a most lovely Folk Festival at Trowbridge, where I finally saw the Levellers play. I travelled to many cities around Europe, namely Bruges, Ghent, Tampere, St Petersburg, Tallinn, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Krakow and Moscow. *happybounces*

Not saying it was all happy roses, and there were some deeply bad bits, but nothing heavy, nothing that mattered. *sigh*

I want to be more creative in 2005. I want to draw. I want to spend lots of quality time with

cassielalone (you can tell I’ve not seen her for over 3 weeks....). I want to do more me things. Time also to relax - I spend most of my time at work being actively creative, so by evening time I’m drained and uninspired without a rest. Time to enjoy the small things in life, the scenery, notice little things around me that make me smile. And somehow I’m going to have to make time, as I don’t have any more time. So, aside from inventing a time machine, I’m going to have to control my rampant social life. Which means sadly saying NO to going out a lot more. I’ve already cut down a lot - I’ve not been to Asylum in ages, and B-Movie has been skipped on many an occasion, and Electric Dreams is no more. But I’m going to have to cut out a whole lot more. But where to start? Should I only go to larger gatherings (parties, clubs) where I can see lots of my friends, or smaller gatherings (cafe meetings, dinner invites) where I’ll just meet a few, but more intimately? Wah! Is most distressing. I really don’t know what is going to have to give, but it’s going to be painful. *sobs*

Jellyfish is down. *sob* I knew that power cable would get tripped over, and bang.....down goes my poor helpless webserver. And she’s not coming back up, which is a pain as it’s headless. Which means lugging her into my room for some surgery. *wailingnoises*
