podeamjammed networks.
I wanted to send out my NYE texts early this year, just to skip the jammed signals.
So did just about everyone on the planet, apparently.
They’ll have to wait for tomorrow, but the point is this: the whole selecting to whom it goes to has always been an important part of my my new year. It’s strangely fulfilling, looking through that list of names, hopefully matching faces and memories with most of them, deciding who it is you’ll need (networking etc etc), who is it that you want.
People I’ve met over the past year, new possibilities, new potential; them I’ve known for a longer time, the changes in our relationships; the people I’m not particularly close to, but want to keep in touch with just because they remind me of a specific time of my life.
It’s a way of stocktaking, really.
I’m not really excited about the countdown; it’s just like any other day, this year. Why? I suppose the past years have been exciting because I was hoping the next would be better, would be good.
The past year has been pretty great. I’m glad.
As I intended to say, to all 125 of you – It doesn’t matter if ’07 was vaguely awesome or vaguely terrible; it’ll all be just vague in time to come. So down those shots and kill them braincells! Here’s to waking up tomorrow next to a face that’s vaguely familiar. Or vaguely human.
2008’s in for an arse-whooping.
