Reply #39: Kind of a wierd year - lookin' forward to '06

[Lindsey]

1. On New Years day I came home from another country I'd never been to - Costa Rica. I had a not- so- great time so it was actually wonderful to be back.
2. I didn't make any resolutions.
3. Yes. A gay male couple that I've been friends with for years finally had a precious little girl through a surrogate (they don't want to know which one of them is the father).
4.Well, the year's not over yet so I'll hold my breath but for now, no one close has died.
5.Costa Rica
6.Just the typical stuff with illnesses
7. A book: Cracking the Millionaires Code
8. A little sadder, about the same weight, about the same financially.
9. I was in an on- and- off relationship for a good part of the year. We finally realized there was no way it would work.
10. No one-nights stands here
11. Six Feet Under was the best show in the history of my personal T.V. viewing. IMHO, the last season was unbelieveable
12. I actually saw "Goodfellows" for the first time and was blown away. As far as on the screen, I'd have to say "Crash." (I'm sensing a dark theme as I'm typing out my answers)!
13. Meditation, a great friend moved back to Southern Cal from Arizona, and I got really close to another friend who was once just an aquaintance
14. George Clooney - Talented, georgeous, and such a compassionate guy. I'm glad he's trying his hardest to help the country in his own way.
15. A co-worker who just radiates fun, positive energy, and cracks us all up.
16. Valuable lesson: If one chooses to grow and attempt to self-actualize, it will change your life. Initially, it can/will be very painful because you won't want and need what you used to want and need. This applies to certain friends, jobs, almost everything. It can be a kind of spiritual crisis. However, in the long run, the benefits will be immeasurable (at least that's what I'm told). Right now, I have to rely on faith because I haven't quite gotten to the benefits part yet.
