a whole new world...

it's a new year and i'm free! my home base blog is in another space but i can't change the settings. the not-being-able-to-blog-until-it's-revamped is an itch i have to scratch. i had to blog. again! (that's deontic modality for you!)

but now i want to keep myself in check this year. if i knew any html, i would like this blog to be in dark reds and heady purples. don't know why. my other blog has become too light-colored, too pastel-y, too tweetumsy i fall asleep just looking at it. zzzzz...

i believe in setting resolutions for the new year. i remember some of my old ones.

* for 1997, i vowed to be happy. 1996 was the worst year of my life (--- at the time. looking back, it remains unrivaled in the oh-help-me-god department).
* for 2001, i vowed to make Him happy. it's been 3 years and 9 months since that time. i will keep going --- "to infinity and beyond!"
* for 2004, i vowed to do a phillip booth, reminiscent of his poem "first lesson". to quote the favorite line: "lie back to the light year stars and let the waves take you to shore."

and for 2005? what does svelte rogue desire in this exciting new year? aside from the elusive state of being svelte, as i am forever rogue, i do have these gimme-gimme desires:

@ finish every single thing i begin, and to finish it well
@ cook better
@ learn dutch and german
@ enrol in piano and voice
@ make a new baby


my top 5 list. i'll leave the i-pod and car for 2006.

welcome to my new world! this year is a different adventure. i can smell it on the dew lounging on the hairless twig outside my window.

welcome home, svelty.
