new year, new beginning

I suppose it's fitting that I started this at the beginning of the new year. This is just a place for thoughts that pop up from the various stimuli in my newly school-free life, now that I actually have the time to write them instead of working on my next who-gives-a-shit paper. (No more papers! Woohoo! It's worth shouting out more than once.) So I will slightly organize my thoughts and have them live here from now on, otherwise they'd probably end up in Steve's Inbox and whoever else will listen. I'm currently sitting at home, playing Final Fantasy X-2 and going through thousands of job listings to find some place to give me money that wouldn't also drive me nuts. Oh, and I'm reading Lord of the Rings for the first time. More on that later. I do have to say, though, 2003 was a wonderful year for me, what with spending half of it in England, having the last semester of college, and including two wonderful guys in my life. 2004 has a lot to live up to, but I'm sure I'll find ways to make it worthwhile.
