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...

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?

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.

Point.

I measure my years by the school year.
