This year, I:

• went to see Rammstein in concert (rah),
  
• was a tutor in my college, and enjoyed it,
  
• made great new friends, both in 'real' life and online,
  
• found another soulmate in J^e,
  
• wrote some kick-ass essays,
  
• turned 21, though this wasn't as big a deal as it sounds,
  
• played Werewolf and thoroughly enjoyed myself,
  
• started writing again, seriously, with help from gil,
  
• shocked everyone by being more exhibitionist, goth, loud-mouthed, confident and generally out-there than they thought I was, and hence
  
• was more myself, and had more fun, than in any year previous.

Happy New Year. Forget regrets; just make it good in 2002.
