After a bunch more hours of 2003
Jan. 1st, 2003 09:03 pmAll of the washing up from last night is done, and the flat looks less like a warzone. My brain is still giving me "Out of order. Call back later" messages when I try to use it, though.
Reading a lot of other entries here have made me think that I too should make a summing up of 2002. It's just that when I try to do that, all I can come up with is one thing:
I got married.
Five years ago, my attitude to that was "Not a chance in a really unpleasant place". But, there it is. I even had a big wedding with lots of people and a proper honeymoon cruise. Granted, the wedding was way not traditional, but anyway. All the mundanes who were there have been amazingly positive about it, saying things like that our ritual seemed vastly more relevant and true than ordinary church wedding rituals. Which, well, not surprised.
No, wait, one more big thing happened in 2002. One that I don't really want to think about. Laila died. And I find I don't really want to talk about that.
For 2003, I hope to have a year without any high drama at all. I want to have a calm, ordinary, plain year with lots of low-to-medium-level amusing things going on. I want no surprises, I want no crisises, I want no nervewracking periods of nonstop tension. I just want things to go on.
