Adios, 2004. Don’t Let the Door Hit You in the Ass
There has been a pretty substantial period of silence here. Some days I feel bad about that but never bad enough to actually update obviously. When you routinely document your life and suddenly your life is starting to resemble a trainwreck, you begin to get a tad tired of yourself.
Most of 2004 was not good for me. There were some major highlights but overall it was a series of lows. By the end of it, I just didn’t feel like talking about it much. Still don’t. But in the interest of re-opening the lines of communication for 2005, here are the salient details of the current state of affairs here in Columbus:
My car is sitting in the parking lot. Dead.
Fixing it is going to cost a lot of money.
My future brother-in-law recently bought a used car–his first vehicle in quite some time.
I’m currently driving it. He’s incredibly cool.
Christmas with my family was wonderful. The pictures are not.
Today I started a new job. It is still a contract position but it is full-time hours and a very good rate.
As usual, I work with a pack of geeks. The company is a big, national internet service provider with which you are all familiar. The local “campus” has intense security and an onsite gym, cafeteria and Starbucks.
Did I mention my future brother-in-law is really cool?
The Butlers visited the week after Christmas. Those kids are cool. Even Addison. We like their parents too.
We went to a New Year’s party hosted by some of my sister’s friends. They’ve all been super gracious about including us in their social lives and it went a long way towards keeping us from gnawing off our arms in boredom Friday night.
We had an ice storm, but thankfully not a tsunami.
I am going to Las Vegas with a bunch of straight girls in two weeks.
I am going to Chicago with a bunch of straight geeks in three weeks.
Both trips frighten me.
My sister will almost certainly post a comment on this entry that has something to do with being “hot.”
Consider yourselves updated and warned.
Hey, not all of the geeks are straight!
And yes, your sister is SOOOOOoooOOOOoooOO hot.
Was that creepy? It felt a little creepy.

This year won’t suck. I’m sending good vibes your way. And your future brother-in-law doesn’t suck either.

Of course my earlier optimism may be the effect of the antidepressants and the mood stabilizers.
Just sayin’.
Sarah | Jan 5, 2005 | Reply
Hmmm, mood stabilizers…

Chin up, Amy Morrison! I’m sure 2005 will be fraught with improvement. Give Tanya my love. P.S. Go all in with pocket kings!

Don’t fear the straight girl. She means you no harm!!!

These straight girls are taking me to something called the “Thunder from Down Under.” How can that possibly be wholesome?

Does it involve Hugh Jackman?
Christina | Jan 8, 2005 | Reply
I think this fellow’s name is Huge Jackman.
