please remember me, happily

I don't know what to say about 2011.

This year was too full to be easily condensed into a December 31st blog post.

Everything looks different than it did this time last year, and only partially because I have new contact lenses.

I have a new life, in so many new ways.

I'm still adjusting.

Only one star in my hair this year. That's as much as I can handle at the moment, though I also have the moon around my neck.

(I suppose now I have some sort of tradition of New Year's Eve webcam photos in which I don't look at the camera.)

I thought a lot about what the song of the year was, but in the end there wasn't any competition.

 

It was an almost-ten-minute-long song kind of year. An angel kissin' on a sinner kind of year.

A frightened trapeze swinger kind of year.

Apparently safety nets are overrated.

So, hello, 2012. I hear you're supposed to be the end of the world.

Strange how endings feel so much like beginnings.
