Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, possessing and caressing me...

And for 2008? I want....

-a pony! (haha. actually, not.)
-to exercise more until I feel very pleased with my body (and get some endorphins flowing)
-to perhaps play my instruments (what, learn the trumpet after owning it since grade 8? what a novel idea.)
-to be more free with myself
-to reduce my worrying and analyzing habits
-to keep up the friendships I already have and gain new ones
-to be happier single

-to visit Vancouver or Victoria more, depending on which city I move to
-to see more of Canada
-to have a good roommate who loves cats if I live with other people
-to maybe love with more abandon? Or just have it returned? Or just be happy without it. That would be less trouble.
-to figure out a life path, even if it's just for now
-to have my mom get a puppy. Puppy! I miss having a dog.
-to see more concerts


And here's a tip for the rest of the sick people right now: saline nasal mist. It works wonders. I can breathe when I go to bed now. Hurray!
