2008

yeah. so i probably should have done the round up thing earlier, but sucks to that, i'm doing it now!

Cool:

• new friends... tarryn, if anyone said a year ago that we'd be mates, i'd have laughed my ass off at them. steph and cirst, brilliant workmates, awesome friends. jordan, a virtual mate. when we talk i feel like we may just have the same brain.
  
• old aquaintences making reappearances... vera, i'm so fucking happy that we're FINALLY mates. gerry, you got me through some rough stuff, just with good times and good wine, without even knowing it.
• friends that have stuck around... cath, buzz, justin, garett, dale, terri, dean, tina and a million others. i am so blessed.
  
• zane. i don't even know what to say here. am smit.
• work. i love my job. i know i've mentioned that once or twice before, but fck, i love it. i love it even more after a promotion!
• shae. save the best for last. the change in this little person has been beyond amazing. she is a joy and a treasure and adored by everyone that meets her.

Not Cool:

• Garyth. how do you get over losing someone who has been a part of your life forever. my baby big brother. i still can't bring myself to delete your number. i miss you more than i can possibly explain. it's not fair that you're gone. but you'll never be forgotten. love you gemini.
• death. 2008 was the year of goodbyes. garyth, paul, danny, mary, grandpa. so many, so sad.
• crime. i think i've said enough about this. i want my fucking car back.
  
• friends exiting. two people i though would be around when i was a 60-year old gardening book club member have exited stage right. with no re-entrance for the big finale. fuck.
