Happy New Year!

January 1, 1998

Well, we made it to 1998. I can finally tell people that I'll be moving to be with Jevim next year, instead of "in a year and a half" or "In 1999"... it may sound the same to you, but it makes a world of difference to me. Jevim and I have made it through about half our time apart now; it's all downhill from here, right?

Okay, last night wasn't exactly my happiest new year's eve ever, but then I have a predilection for getting depressed in the last few hours of the year. A couple years ago, I actually went out with my friends here in town, and I just about started crying in the bar.... sheesh.

Last night, Jevim and I were online chatting as midnight came for him, and I just suddenly started falling apart; I don't know if it was because I miss him, or just because I couldn't be with him, or if it was because I know we won't get to see each other near as much this year as we did last. In any case, I ended up getting the big teddybear he'd given me when we first met, and crying into its fur for a bit, until I got it out of my system. He called me at 11:30 my time, and we talked on the phone up to and a little past midnight my time, and I was feeling much better by time I went to sleep.

New year's resolutions? I really didn't make any. Yes, I mentioned a week or so back, there were some changes I wanted to make, things I wanted to start doing, and accomplish, but the biggest thing I want to accomplish is to lose some of these extra inches that have crept up on me over the past year and a half or so... I spend way too much time sitting here at the computer; I'm a real mouse potato. So, I've grown a few inches, and not in height. If only that's what it were! I wrote down the measurements I took today, and I'll check them from month to month, and see if I can't bring them down some. What are they? A lady never tells... ah, yes, I did give my age on my intro page, but I'm not old enough that I feel it matters just how old I am (except for getting into bars).

If you've been reading my journal for a while, you will notice that I've changed my layout once again. I hope you like it, and that it's readable for you. I'm trying to steer away from the tables-for-formatting; I'd like to go to CSS, but I know that not everyone's browser is going to support it. Maybe if I find a background I like without a border, I'll give it a try. Until then, if you have problems reading this (I'm using a clear GIF to offset the text from the border now, hoping it will work for everyone), please let me know. I'm off to work on the rest of "the new look."
