Oh, 2008, You Can Just Go Die

And it will, in about 3 hours. It's been a, well, "challenging" year. Does anyone else hate that term when what the speaker really means is "incredibly shitty"?

But it hasn't been all bad. I passed the bar. I reconnected with many friends, and one in particular, who I didn't even realize I missed and needed. I moved. I finally got on track to take better care of myself.

Still, I can't let 2008 go without calling it mean names. Harsh. Claustrophobic. Endless. Unwilling to let me come up for air and figure out a) what's really going on and b) what I can do about it.

Viewed in its entirety, screw you, 2008.

And 2009? Right now, I'm pretty much completely in love with you. Don't try to ruin me like 2008 did. I've learned some lessons; I won't let you make me your bitch. Yeah, yeah, shut up. In the power struggle between me and life, I know who's going to win. But I'll fight like hell this time around.
