Year in Review meme: take the first sentence of the first post each month in your LJ.

January: In truth, I didn't feel any change.

February: Today I ran a production meeting for Don Juan in Chicago.

March: Yup, Don Juan is over.

April: Been away for a long long time now.

May: Today is Emily's birthday (Huzzah!).

June: I have climbed highest mountain

July: Pastimes is closed.

August: I saw Claudia on an old episode of Law and Order: SVU last night!

September: Crawling up the dark steps, finally escaping this hot basement, stepping out the second door to be greeted with a wall of what should only be described as "beer air".

October: It is official.

November: It is true.

December: Please send your prayers, spells, thoughts, and anything else you have to spare to my father.

What do I learn from this? First and formost, I tend to be very factual in opening sentences. Additionally, this year has featured more change for me - be it in friends, relationships, schooling, driving, jobs, lifestyle, life expectations, depression level, insecurity, plus a partridge in a pear tree - than I may ever have experienced in a single year. For the first time, I have not adjusted well to all my change. That may be the most significant change of all. First lines of first entries don't show that very well, but it is of little concern to anyone.

Once again, I am unlikely to make any resolutions. My date for resolution this last year was my birthday. All I decided then was that the next year would be better than the last one. Who can say if it sall really follow? Can't say yet and I'm halfway there. I may have failed (for the most part, not totally). Then again, there's plenty of time.

Tonight I shall be joyous, then I shall consider what sort of training to pursue to get myself gainfuly employed. Perhaps something as simple as learning a couple of computer programs so that I can send myself out temping with more marketable skills. Maybe going back to school to study paralegal studies or business management. I've been getting lots of contrasting advice with little idea of what I want. Then again, this has little to do with that I want and far mroe to do with what I need.
And I need a job.
I WANT a job that takes advantage of my sharp brain. I'd love one what leaves me connected to the arts, but I suppose that is less important.
I need a job.

With one of those, 2006 will look much, much different that 2005.

Maybe I'll make a resolution after all.
