Year in '06

Speaking of New Years, what is my resolution going to be? What should I say I going to do this year that I will never accomplish this year?
What a year it's been. As my favorite (some of my favorite) fictional characters in the world say "How do you measure the year in the life of a woman or a man?". (So, so, sorry, hang on one second...BAD flashbacks.)
But really. I've been thinking a lot lately about this year, 2006. Think how much happened for those fictional characters and how their lives changed. And I'm real! I should have way more things happening in my life. Way to make me feel pathetic, Jonathan Larson! Truthfully, a lot has happened this year. Ive changed a lot. And oh how things change. Think how different our world or your life might be in just one year. What will I be obsessing about by the end of 2007? Will we still be in Iraq? Will we come to some agreement on the immigration problems? Will we figure out some way to save what little ice bergs we have left before this inconvienent truth turns this year into "The Day After Tomorrow"?
So much of my life has changed, even if they're little things, in this past year.
So I'm making up a list. I'll probably keep adding to it over the next few days, so if you're really interested, or really sad and need to know everything in my life to have purpose in your, keep checking back. How have you measured the year in your life?
