Given that I only got halfway through the year while researching this, I've probably left things out

Five things that 2002 taught me:
* Dragons are Not My Friends
* Being obsessed with writing up dreams is unhealthy
* People are just as stupid as I though they were
* Coding makes me happy (but I still don't do enough of it)
* I feel like I'm being crushed. Slowly. By the air around me. But I'm too lethargic to do anything about it. Does that count?

Five personally significant events of 2002:
* Went to London with Naath for this Physics in Perspective rubbish, found my way around etc.
* DWCon2002. Met painispretty and didn't die, these things are good. Spent lots of time scared and confused and bored and lonely; these things are bad.
* I was bitten by a dog (a big German Shepherd) right outside my house. (I've always been somewhat frightened of dogs, but this certainly didn't help.)
* Helped out with the Easter Power and Light children's club at church and Cosmic, the Sunday morning group for R-Y2 children.
* Began drawing Haylar

Five things I want to do in 2003:
* Get into Cambridge. (This is Not Going To Happen, due to Failing P4, but it's nice to dream.)
* Find God again. (I *know* You're out there somewhere...)
* Drink enough water and eat enough fruit.
* Convince my mother that I won't die of starvation/never wash/stay in my room all the time at Uni.
* Express myself more.

Five things I don't want to do in 2003:
* Die. (Yes, really. For once I don't want to die. This is actually quite a change for me. I'm not sure it's an entirely positive one.)
* Hurt anyone. (This also isn't going to happen, but it's nice to dream.)
* Spend too much time at a computer screen.
* Worry and beat myself up over spending too much time at a computer screen (or whatever my Useless Thing Of The Day is).
* Be ashamed of being me, afraid of failure, or willing to conform just to make things easier even if I don't / am not something normal.

I leave you with this thought from the thirteenth of Febuary:

Five years from now I hope to:
1. Be me
2. Be happy
3. Uh, is there anything else?

Phew, that took an awful long time to write. Mostly it reminded me how terminally uninteresting my life is. I apologise for having inflicted it on you in detail and in short here.

(no subject)

I would write up the 8-10s (well, it *wasn't* officially 8-10s, it was just organised at one and involving people from there...) New Year's Eve Party, but I'm too computer-fuzzled. It mostly involved one of those Scaletrix-alike thingamies (little cars race around little track when you pull triggers), a camcorder, lots of snackfood, insane people fighting (two of whom got bitten, *by the leader/adult/person*), balloons, dancing around to a wide variety of music (from 'A Design For Life' to 'Livin Da Viva Loca') and other such funstuff, although it also included unfunstuff like the crazy dog that they finally did work out I was actually scared of and took away upstairs, and Manwel sulking because I burst the balloon he was making nasty awful noises with, and me getting all miserableblergh around midnight because I feel that I'm generally a worse person than I was last year.

And that's all the writeup you're getting.

I haven't posted webtestness in quite a while...
