Reflection upon 2003
Well, as promised the reflection upon 2003. I've randomly jumbled up the names upon my friends-list and tried to express some thoughts about everyone. Don't feel offended by anything please, everything is meant in the most positive of way. And if you're curious whether a piece refers to you, just ask. ^_~
===============================
Haven't talked that much to you this year. Then again you've always struck me as a quiet shy person, yet you always knew where to place a good pun. Hopefully we'll get to talk more in 2004. Even if it were merely, alike last year, at real life meetings.
Ah yes, the person whom brings greater doom upon us than
clsa. ^_~ Though it were merely a short while you were here in The Netherlands, I don't think we'll forget your presence. Not to mention the chaos you left behind. Despite it all I hope you're doing better now, as doom seems to be following you around. One day we'll meet again, whether it be here or in the States. And joyous an occasion it will be.
We mostly catch each other online, talking about either jobs or tech-stuff, mostly the latter one. You always strike me as one who never quits fighting for what is right. And though certain things frustrated you a lot in the past year, I hope 2004 will bring you better prospects.
You've always seemed to never say more than was needed to say. And yet you always were a noticeable presence during meetups. A person very passionate about his hobbies, and willing to share such knowledge with others. We should talk more, at least I'd like to talk more to you.
Dude, you've always amazed me as to what one can achieve. First in games and later in life. And whenever we talk it seems like you've moved on to something new. I hope 2004 will bring you as many new, if not more, opportunities.
Do you still think I have a "cute butt"? ^_~ You've seemed to disappeared from the face of the earth, yet I know why that is. Hopefully you'll find the direction in life you were looking for, and maybe one day you'll come to terms with matters that need desperately to be resolved. Were it merely for closure. Be good.
I have so forgotten how we met, though I think it was John's fault. ^_~ You haven't posted for a while, no clue what's up with you. I hope life is doing you good, the talks we had were always good fun.
Even though you're actually little older than some people I know, I've always looked upon you as the elder one of the gang. Were it merely because you're, in my eyes, such a die-hard. I always value your funny and informative entries and you seem to have a knack for knowing where the interesting stuff is happening. May 2004 be a good year for you, at least you know we'll try and help to make that happen.
We saw eachother and talked once or twice this past year. Your looks to me have always defined who you are. My mom actually thinking you were of the opposite sex when she first saw you. Hopefully you'll speak up more in the new year, you deserve to be heard.
Well, I've known you ever since... long ago. Yet to my best knowledge we've only talked about once or twice in total... ever. I hope life is doing you good, school and such, whatever may cross your path. And see: I can say nothing specific about you. That's how good we actually know eachother. ^_~
I still do not know how you've ever come across my LiveJournal, but I don't mind. From the talks we had it seemed we shared many similar interests. As a few others you also haven't posted for a while now, hope everything is going okay. You're an interesting individual and I'm sure there are many more people who would like to know you better.
Despite many sleepless nights I hope 2004 will bring you the rest you so desperately seek. In both body and soul. You know we'll always be there when you need it, just call. I've only known you for a short while compared to others, yet I've already seen you more in real life than some others. All I can say now is: don't worry, 2004 and following years will be smashing. We, your friends, will make sure of that. *hug*
You've also gone off to far places and manage to pop on to the internet once and a while. We have only talked once, from there on keeping track via LJ. May the voyage you've undertaken bring you the spiritual enrichment you were looking for. Even if it has led you to outlandish locations... ^_~
Your trials and tribulations concerning transport are now legendary to me. You seem like a man always on the move. Then again the States are quite different territory than where I'm at. ^_^ Hopefully you'll get to see more of the world in the coming year. I'll bet you you'll enjoy it!
Not really keeping track of you. Or at least not as much as I'd like to. Hopefully school works out for you, you seem to fret about it a lot. There's more to life, dude! Though remember that a proper education opens many doors!
Aside from mutual interests I have no idea what you're doing on my friends-list. XD Not that I mind though, it's interesting to see how you're life is going. And so far it's looking good. Seems you are playing more games lately, hopefully 2004 will be as gamefull as you want it to be.
Now YOU haven't posted in a while, whilst I do have seen you once or twice this year in real life. What's up with you? Plan on coming to Treecon again this year?
Sorry for not calling you all those times. We will make up for that in 2004 and following years, promised! ;) You've always were the party-man. You know what entertainment is and where to find it and you've really made many days of 2004 enjoyable. You've got a talent there and I hope it'll prove just as valuable to you in your daily life, with work and such.
Meow? Meowmeow meowmeowmeow. Meowmeow meeow meowmeow meow. Meeeowmeow. *prrr* Meowmeow? Meow meowmeowmeow meow... MEOW! ^_^
*pokes* You still alive? Again a person to whom I've talked to little this year. Too bad, but hopefully we can catch up in 2004.
Bible-girl. ^_^ We haven't talked in such a long time, partly my fault. I moved on to other places and you moved on in life. How are things going? Now that I think about it, you hardly ever post about what's happening in your life.
How are things? Coming from a whole different category of "friends with mutual interests" we've known eachother for quite some time now. Too bad your health always seems to come in the way of things, and yet you keep on going. I admire that in you, your spirit and will power. I hope these traits of you will come in handy many times in 2004.
The man with an opinion, never afraid to express it. And your opinion is always valued, in my eyes even down right... right. ^_^ I love your cooking btw, and that coming from someone who isn't particularly fond of sea-food should say a lot. May 2004 be a good year to you.
The past year was a turbulent one for you. Ups and downs and even some times when I would get scared, fearing for whatever might happen to you. We haven't talked that much lately, not as much as we used to anyway. I miss those times, yet I hope that future times will prove to be even better. Especially for one as you, you deserve that much.
Who are you? Actually, I know who you are but I'm amazed as to how you found my journal. I don't mind though, it's always interesting to see people with similar interests walk down different paths. You really had some downtimes, but remember that you're still young. I should've replied to more of your entries, but for now I'll just summarize it by saying this: have faith and GROW UP! ^_~
Dude, add me back already! XD We've known eachother for quite a while now and still you have to add me back. Though most of your entries are public anyway, it is merely the thought. Hope 2004 will bring more stability in your flora and many more good times. You're always fun to hang around with.
Again a person who, to me, has randomly found my journal. We've talked a few times, even chatted a bit. So far I'm just beginning to know you. So I can merely say: hope your programming project works out. :)
Another individual out of the different category. And interesting life you lead, though I know you very little. Hope 2004 will prove to be everything you expect it to be.
Where to start with you? The only person on my list whom evolved from category to category and now I consider to be my best friend. There were many times you wondered how that ever came to be (we go back so long compared to the other people I know), and I always replied the same and will do so again now: does it matter? ^_^ I really care for you, you know that. You've stood by me so many times this past year, I just hope I can ever manage to repay you for it. And you've already got my word that I'll try to do so... very, very hard. Let us make 2004 a smashing year for you.
I just got to know you. We talked a bit, you seem like a cool person. At least your friends here vouch for that. XD Hopefully you'll come over to The Netherlands again some day, I'd love to meet you in RL.
You've always had my respect, a strong individual. Yet at times you suddenly seemed as fragile as everybody else. Something you weren't too proud of, yet know that it happens. And we'll always be there to help you out if needed. Hopefully 2004 will prove to be an inspiring year for you and let it take you to the places and positions (*smirk* >D) you want to go.
You have certainly made 2003 interesting. Not to mention my life. To be honest I had never expected to meet anybody like you, certainly not this past year. And yet... things just happened. 2004 promises to be an interesting year for you, and as said before I hope it'll bring the clarity in your life you're looking for. And, if you'd allow me, I'd like to play a bigger part in it. Your life I mean. For now, as we've discussed, let us just give it our best shot and see where it goes. It has proven interesting so far, n'est ce pas? ^_~
===============================
So, 2004 has come to be. And I can't help but wonder what has 2003 done for me? From the looks of my earlier entries I've certainly changed. But what do you guys think: have I changed? And if so what has brought that about? *smirk* I'm sure some contributing factors are quite obvious by now...
A thought that crossed my mind while deciding what to type in this entry was the fact that so many things, dreams and hopes I ever had, now actually seem more realistic than ever. And I now realize that they can become more than real, given the effort they will require. And I certainly plan on doing so. And I hope that in the process I can make other people's expectations be fulfilled as well.
Another thing I have been thinking about is the fact that people obviously do read my journal yet hardly ever reply to anything I post. They actually only do so when they get the chance to talk to me directly. Should I be happy about that? :)
I guess I've always been a conversation-stopper. My posts have always been quite conclusive, except maybe for the few vague ones that slipped in this year. I hope everybody is clear about those by now, I'm doing good. Sometimes I just need to talk.
2003 has also been the year that I started actively recording my dreams under the "Analyze this..."-entries. I hope everybody enjoys them, I know I will certainly continue to do those were it merely to keep track of my life.
2003 also brought on a slew of déjà vu's. I have never had so many as in the past year. They just kept on freaking me out time after time. Guess I did deserve those numerous Matrix-references, despite the fact these were déjà vu's of a different kind. ;)
The past year has also been one where my family played an important role. So many things have happened to us, as a family. I'm sure most of you have been keeping track of it all. 2003 also made me realize so many times that I just can't do without them, despite all the "troubles" they give me. ^_^ I'll state once again as I've done many times and will probably do many more: I love my family.
And then there's the fact that I've actually taken up drawing again. There's actually stuff appearing up on my Furnation-account. I'm not proud of the artwork itself though, merely the fact that I have started doing something again. Maybe, with enough practice it'll become to be of an acceptable level one day. ^_^
So, have I forgotten anything? Yes, I probably have forgotten a lot of things! But that would leave little conversational-topics, now wouldn't it? ^_~ Please ignore all the typos made, I have a headache right now. But note that I'm doing good.
You all make 2004 a smashing year. And if you need some help with it, you know where to reach me. ^_^
