Superstition:

[azurelunatic]

The way you spend the moment of the new year is indicative of how you're going to spend the upcoming year.

Last year, my girlfriend and I sat at separate computers, and I was much too far away from Darkside, at that moment.

This year, I was at my computer, taking photos and uploading to Petridish, drinking sparkling cider, nursing a hangover, with the vast majority of my family home and having at least a bit of fun. (Well, Little Fayoumis is sulking.) Cats were on hand, and there is good music on.

Nice to know that the omens are so good, and while it appears that less romance is in the cards, there's also probably to be less isolation...

Put party hats on the cats! Take pictures! Do it now!!!

*wants to be entertained*

You know about http://www.mycathatesyou.com, right?

Cats are all hiding, all snug in their beds, while trollish big hangovers pound on my head.

They must know that I want you to put hats on them. Do you, perhaps, have a box of tiny cat-sized fedoras?

[azurelunatic]

Fresh out, sadly.

That means I'm going to kiss a metric assload of people this year.

Oh, wait. Never mind. I have.

Don't you love self-fulfilling New Year prophecies?

[thette.livejournal.com]

In this case, it was kind of pleasant...

Lovely. I shall be asleep most of this year.

Feh. New Year's is in September. If I had to pick another date, I'd pick Beltaine. Whose bright idea was it to have New Year's in the middle of winter?

[azurelunatic]

What about the summer solstice? That's nice and bright.

But spring is when everything is starting, and fall is when everything is ending. Moments of transition, as opposed to apexes, which is what I consider the solsistices to be.

[azurelunatic]

Point.

I measure my years by the school year.

hmm actually you were on the computer. I was on the couch, trying not to fall asleep and failing. (This year I was singing with my eyes closed in the middle of the dedication ritual)

Does that mean for me this year will have less sleep, but also less exhaustedness?

[azurelunatic]

And, probably more dedication-oriented thingies.
