In High Gear

1. Will you be looking for a new job?
Probably.

2. Will you be looking for a new relationship?
Yes.  Not too intense – I have plenty of meaningful relationship already.  I’d like a naughty friend, please.

3. New house?
If not this year, then the next, but soon.

4. What will you do different in 07?
Hard to say at the start of it.  These things tend to be organic.  I do plan to end the cold war with my ex-husband.

5. New Years resolution?
Be more human.

6. What will you not be doing in 07?
Putting my coochie on The Crazy.

7. Any trips planned?
Arranging Gulf Wars in March and Pennsic in August.

8. Wedding plans?
No.

9. What’s on your calendar?
Lots of squares with numerals in them.  Really, other than the above, nothing plannable.

10. What can’t you wait for?
Uhm … ?

11. What would you like to see happen different?
A drastic change in corporate culture.  That’s not likely.

12. What about yourself will you be changing?
Again, organic.

13. What happened in 06 that you didn’t think would happen?
Fell in love again.  Not eased, not scooted, not grew – fell.  I thought I couldn’t do that anymore.

14. Will you be nicer to the people you care about?
Don’t see how I could get much nicer, but will try.

16. Will you start or quit drinking?
No, will drink about the same amount as now.

17. Will you better your relationship with your family?
Yes.  I’m too out of touch.

20. Will you be nice to people you don’t know?
See #14.

21. Do you expect 07 to be a good year for you?
Yes, indeed.

22. How much did you change from this time last year til now?
About 5%?  I’m changing all the time, but it’s picked up a bit the last couple of months.

23. Do you plan on having a child?
Absolutely not.

24. Will you still be friends with the same people you are friends with now?
If nothing horrible goes awry, yes.  And hopefully more people.

25. Major lifestyle changes?
I don’t expect so.

26. Will you be moving?
See #3.

27. What will you make sure doesn’t happen in 07 that happened in 06?
Overexposure to mental instability.  Making excuses for it.  Expecting to be able to help.

28. What are your New Years Eve plans?
Haven’t got any.

29. Will you have someone to kiss at midnight?
Possibly.

30. Wish for 2007?
Joy for all of us.

Edit for #27: In the future, if someone tells me they are messed up, I will believe them, and run.  It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or whether they can tell if their messed-upness is more so than that of others; if it’s not so, it’s still a likely self-fulfilling prophecy.  It’s a valid warning.  Run.
