Happy 2011, everyone.

I am starting the new year with a clean sink, a pop song stuck in my head (soon to be replaced by the song I'm vidding to) and the discovery that four (!) of my prompts were filled in the [community profile] kink_bingo December mini-challenge:

From what I read/watched of the month's collection, my favorite was the beautiful vid Repeat Encounter by pi (Mushi-Shi, Ginko/tentacles).

Heh, and then there was that Care Bears manip I did. All I can say is I'm sorry.

.

I've been thinking back to the last few New Years, noticing how life has changed.

December 31 three years ago, the president of Hell Job kept several of us in the office until well after dark to finish a major company project. The best part—the part I tell people about because it encapsulates so much of what was wrong at that place—was when (right after he'd shushed the head of IT, who'd been checking his watch and saying his family was expecting him for dinner) he declared he had to leave, hefted a case of champagne onto his shoulder and left us there to finish.

Two years ago, I spent the evening in my grad school apartment writing most of Outtakes with the Twilight Zone marathon in the background.

Last year and this year, [livejournal.com profile] deelaundry et al kindly had me over for a leisurely dinner and word games.

Next year—or, technically this year—I suppose I should do something special. We'll see what December brings.

Last year and this year, deelaundry et al kindly selfishly had me over for a leisurely dinner and word games.

Or we can compromise on "joyously," if you prefer that word.

It was shorter than saying "...for a mutually beneficial arrangement in which bironic gets fed, deelaundry diverts her husband's attention so she can concentrate on something for a change, and games are enjoyed by all." :)

I *almost* sent Bironic a holiday card for her to give to you if she saw you. But then I thought that would be a little too forward of me, so here instead is my official: "Happy Holidays Dee!"

Happy New Year, B! <3

It is fun to look back and see how much further one is each New Year's Eve. I made a note to myself that I will spend next New Year's Eve in France. We'll see if it happens!

Eeep, that's definitely a hellish job. It's so great to see you here now! 2011 will make for a great fresh slate. And I love the tentacles. :D
