Lets just... forget bout posting about china and japan alright?
I doubt I have the ability to accurately imprint the experiences onto words anyway... so I might as well save myself of the humiliation.
I have the pictures to help me remember... so a post doesn't seem neccessary.
I guess this is supposed to be a new year post... of sorts. Never mind that it is a few days late.
The holidays have passed in a flurry, mm, what am I talking about, the whole of 2008 passed in a flurry. I remember the day I started out in JC... uncertain of whether I'll ever make it to J2 -- JC was still a risky option for me then. And poof, I'm a J2 all of a sudden. It seems my worries were misplaced, thats one thing that surprised me, among many. That one would be a pleasant surprise, no doubt. One of the few among a rather long list of surprises. So many changes... all within a year. So many new friendships, I must have tried my hand at friendship-- at which I am exceptionally bad-- more than the other years put together. Unsurprisingly many of these tries turned out as....well, failures.
Sounds mean? Mmm, yea, get used to it.
I'm testing my theories, on friendship and such. I've never found an area where my theories can get more wrong though. What little success I've had should be attributed to luck more than anything else.
Disappointment, its something I've had to deal with. Though I guess the year has humbled me, by a fraction of an inch or so, so that I realise that perhaps I've disappointed a fair number of people as well. Broken promises... my word was absolute, back then... I was certain. But you were right, things change, in a manner which I cannot comprehend. My word still holds, of course, if you ever find a need...or more importantly, if you don't mind.
All in all... a rather...exotic year. Gifts? Finally learning how to properly apply my abilities is a gift I guess. And the ups and downs, and all the drifting aparts, I might get motion sickness soon. But I guess to the many...they would say those experiences are gifts as well?
I beg to differ.
