the year didn't have the fairytale-like last few months i might have half-hoped for ...

3. what do you hope the new year brings?
a full-time job. good times. laughs. hugs. love. music. happiness.

4. will you be making any new year's resolutions? if yes, what will they be?
i do intend to make a few resolutions this year, but i'd prefer not to share them with anyone. no offense.

5. what are your plans for new year's eve?
i'm covering first night, then leaving the first hours of 2004 open for whatever may happen. what can i say? it'll be mostly work, but i'm hoping to be able to enjoy it with friends. if all goes well, my real kick-back start to the year will be the 2nd.

while it has included a number of great moments, i must say that 2003 has included far too many moments of tears, fears and frustration. therefore, i am ready to say "2003, peace the fuck eight," and welcome a new year and, hopefully, a little more of the optimism that aggravates me on many occasions - but i now miss a great deal.
