7100 - Seven Swans a-Swimming

At the yearly overview at work, I was praised pretty highly, and referred to as the "sergeant at arms". (due to my keeping my brain screwed on tight, while other tensions rose)

---

Mel and I should have the whole day together today, barring badness. I'm not sure what's planned, but I think an indoor NYE is the way to go, come nightfall.

---

Interesting that I end the year on a fairly round numbered entry. 7100, since I first started this thing. unreal.

Good Morning Newt!

So long to Deuce-double-aught-four.

Some stuff that happened, I may or may not search the journal to linkify 'em.

• Bro's Shenanigans come to a head... Twice!


• D goes *poof*!


• CJ goes *poof*!


• I stay buddies with Whims and Sammy, despite There.com fadeout and they stopped dating.


• Mel goes *foop*! (or whatever the opposite of *poof* is)


• Some other neat new LJ and meat space pals go *foop*!


• Newt's a healthy boy, but I discover he's a bit jealous.


• No serious health issues.


• I maintain a nice email relationship with Gray Pumpkin, and The Wu's seen to have vaporised.


• A lot of weight lost, some of it regained.


• Lots of turnover at work. I'm tied with VS as the 4th longest currently-lived employee, after BK, RI, and LD.


• Stayed with Danny through hurricanes.


• I had a gun put to my head due to a vehicle registration


• Lots of photo-walkabout, including a nice day at vizcaya (pictures spread out over a week)


• Many pictures of Newt, got cam software that lets me do weird blue screens and capture cuteness


• I got a sammich made by a guy with a black eye


• I got radical sandals from my buddies in the East-east.


• I made a scary-scotto icon


• I put bids down on condos, but fate conspired against me every time

Plenty of other stuff too, but that's the first stuff that bubbles to my forebrain.

If I had to sum 2004 up in one sentiment, it would have to be "Mother Earth Was Pissed".

Hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods..... all in grand fashion.

Yep... she's pissed. And you know the old saying.... "If Mama ain't happy ain't NOBODY happy".
