I find that the older I get, the more effective I become at saying "fuck you" without actually using expletives.
I think there is a certain beauty in being able to convey a message in the nicest way possible, without being accused of being unruly or impolite - there is a time and place for everything, but some scenarios require more tact. Others...well let's just say I am known to curse like a sailor.
It was recently brought to my attention by a friend, that a former friend blocked them on facebook. And while this amused me, I thought about how petty someone can be to allow over a decade of friendship to disingreate to the point where they are blocking someone on facebook to avoid seeing their posts on walls of mutual friends.

EDIT: Why didn't someone point out to me that my "lysdexia" (dyslexia) had kicked in and I had "galley" instead of "gallery" when referring to the waving gallery?
CORRECTION has been made.
I find that the best moments in life are completely unplanned and unrehearsed. This is a profound statement coming from someone who is a notorious planner that lives in her head. I used to plan my entire day, from waking to going to bed - but when you work a 16 hour day, this is essential to maintaining your sanity. To-do lists and organisers were my friend, Google calender and a PDA - were like manna from heaven.

Today I want to talk about lessons learned and lessons yet to be learned.
I realise that with age, does not necessarily come wisdom or experience - because sometimes I make the same mistakes over and over before realising that the problem is me for doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome. But after all, isn't that the definition of insanity according to Einstein?

A thought occurred to me on New Year's Day, as I laid in bed in the afternoon attempting to get some sleep: "New years are like birthdays: you know something is different but it takes you a few months to feel the difference..."
And it's true, today is the 5th January, 2010 and I have yet to write the date by hand, I've only done it in digital form and without explaining the obvious mental effect this has: it doesn't feel real to me.

A part of me wants to do a "review in year" type entry for 2009 but a part of me wants to leave 2009 in the not-so-distant past.
Don't get me wrong, the year ended on a high note and I feel great about the progress I've made as a person, and the strides I will be making in 2010. However, that little part of me that hates to dwell on the past negatively - is thinking about how badly 2009 started, and the sprinklings of drama, pain and emotional turmoil that happened throughout the year.
