browncoat2x2Is it fair to wake up on New Year's Day, feeling like you have a hangover, without having had a drop of alcohol the night before?
*grumbles*
It is the last day of my vacation, and the last time I posted was on the first day of my vacation. Looking back, it was a pretty good break, overall. Visited family on 4 days, visited friends on two of the days, went shopping for one full day and a couple quick trips on two other days, and relaxed and did basically nothing for two and a half days. Not bad. Did I get everything done I wanted to get done? Not even close. Did I relax? Somewhat. Did I enjoy the week? Absolutely.
With the exception of Christmas Eve, I did not go to bed before 3 am ONCE this week, and was often up till 4am, and even 6am on my first night :oD
And *that* boys and girls is why I feel hung over without the fun of getting drunk the night before.
Looking back, 2006 was a pretty shiny year overall. Lot's of new experiences for me, and because I'm feeling nostalgic, here's a little list in random order:
My brother and his girlfriend had a baby! Wheeee! I became an aunt!
I found the LJ Firefly comms and all a' you *waves* Hi flist!
I went to Montreal for the first time, and got to meet![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goldy_dollar while I was there.
I went to SFX and got to hang withelizalavelle and meet a bunch of other browncoats, including noneofyours and willowcat, and saw styrofoam_guy again, and lots of others who are and aren't on LJ, and of course – meet Morena Baccarin and Christina Hendricks :oD *happy sigh*
I got to meet a bunch of the Canadian Browncoats and help out at the Charity Screening of Serenity. That was such a great night.
I was squired at the Trillium War.
I got to shoot automatic weapons at the armouries at a shindig.
I got to meethjea at a shindig in Toronto!
I met the Quills Inc. gals, who are such a great trio :oD and I made a truly BFF interimaru *waves*
I got called into court and praised for my fighting and was given an axe from the King, and later a dagger blade from another Knight.
I gained an on-line wife! *waves atagent_rouka*
I wrote more stories this year than I ever have before in my life :oD and got hopelessly stalled a time or two, too. *grumbleChoicesgrumble*
I was awarded my Scarlet Banner for fighting *is proud*
I got a Laptop!
I redid my Kitchen! and my Sitting Room!!!
Well.. I'm sure there was lots more.. but those are just a few that immediately come to mind.
So long 2006! Here's looking forward to 2007 bein' even better!

Everyone went away this week. (I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU ALL. NEVER.) Last night I even considered sending you an angry "UPDATE YOUR LJ NOW" email.
Anyway! Wheeeeeee! A post! *G*
I'm so glad you had a great vacation. Up until 6am? (I couldn't! Seriously, I couldn't!)
And... it sounds like you had SUCH a great year. Meeting MORENA! GOING TO COURT! Redoing your kicthen! GOING TO MONTREAL AND MEETING MEEEEEEEE.
Best wishes for 2007, darling!
