Overdosed on blogs this week and noticed that everyone is summarising their 2007. Bandwaggoning, here’s mine:

highs

• Finally moved away from my home town after only 35 years :-)
• Increased my salary significantly — for a short time
• I had balls big enough to reject a ’sensible’ career path
• Went to Glastonbury for the first time with highlights of The Who, Madness, Editors and Shirley Bassey!
• Met a lovely lady
• Made some new friends
• Became my own boss as a freelance webbie thing and haven’t yet had to promote myself
• Started writing a blog and realised how much I love it
• Discovered the only things I missed from home were my few close friends
• Quit psychotherapy
• Learnt more about the father I never really knew
• Joined Facebook with all its great connecting capabilities

lows

• Mum’s craziness (and therefore my own guilt) reached astronomic levels
• Lost a friend through my decision to reject corporate hell
• Struggled to make friends in a new city
• Learnt that flat sharing with an idiot is both a false economy and a waste of time
• Found some more ailments to add my steadily growing list
• Getting to grips with London’s expensive and confusing transport system
• Joined Facebook with all it’s shitty pointlessness

things to achieve this year

• Gain enough paid employment to clear my debts and save some cash
• Have a decent holiday
• Start a fitness regime — morning runs are the first thing, from next week. Eeek!
• Get a better daily routine: earlier nights and earlier starts
• Spend less time on the computer
• Buy a decent camera and start experimenting
• Start drawing again
• Explore London and find some decent pubs!

If I manage to do even half of those I’ll be happy. :-)
