2003.

New Years Eve is a strange holiday. Iwan and I just emailed a little bit about it. It's so silly and meaningless, but can be so fun at the same time. I've had some of the best and worst times on New Years Eve's. I remember some fun parties and get-togethers where it was all about having a good time, and everyone bonding and so forth. I also distinctly remember a New Years Eve where I was home alone, watching the parties and stuff on TV. I was so lonely and depressed, simply because I felt like I was the only person in the world that wasn't out having fun with friends that night. Even my parents were out at a party! This year, my friends were out of town, and Diana and I were just in from Montana, and didn't have any plans. But for whatever reason, it wasn't a big deal. I guess it's all about expectations.

I don't have any resolutions. I'm sort of against the idea of making excuses or tricking myself in to changing. I figure if I want to change, I'll do it, and if I need to trick myself into changing somehow, then it's probably not worth doing, or not going to work anyways. Can I make a resolution to not make any resolutions? I think I just did. Iwan made a resolution to improve his golf game. I wish I had thought of that first! :)

Things I would like to do (after moving in and getting the house more or less liveable)
1) Get my electronic drum kit completed and set up and working.
2) Upgrade my computer (with a cool, modded case with lights and stuff).
3) Write a new, more fun computer game.
4) Build something with a microcontroller. I was reading about the BX-24 from BasicX, and some sample code to parse GPS data, talk to a remote control, etc. I just need a good idea of what to do.

That's all for now. I'm sure there's much more on that list.
