New Year reflection

This Year....
Here we are again, the end of another year. Reading my post last year, 2006 has pretty much been like 2005 on many fronts. As this is a public post, there's many things I can't go into. Some of you will know more things then others, but lets see what can be covered.

I don't really know where to start, so many things have happened this year. There's been some things I've been ecstatic about, other things I've been ashamed about.

I didn't exactly handle things well with David, which is a regret I've had until recently. Seeing how things have turned out with Angela has made me realise just how much I needed to get him out of my life. Hopefully this will bring some closure to it all, although I was still on edge when going though Leeds the past few days. I so hope this will die down, I love Leeds and don't want to get to a situation where I'm too anxious to head in for a shopping trip or night out with friends. Someone else I didn't exactly handle things well with was Claire, but we do seem to have battled through it. I guess I'll learn someday to actually approach people with things before leaving things too late.

Something I have learnt this year is just who I can and can't trust friends-wise. This is something that I seem to learn every year, I just rarely seem to judge people right. I've been left disappointed with so many people, some situations really hurt. I appreciate that some of the stuff that's happened this year couldn't be helped, but there were so many things that could've been.

But on the flip side .. this year has also been brilliant. I've had one of the best summers since I was at college .. which is going back a few years. So many memories that I'm going to treasure ... Leeds night out, Def Leppard, Take That, Luan's Hen Weekend/night out. Then outside the summer there's been The Almighty, Ricky Warwick, Chesney Hawkes, Gary Barlow, my 30th and Sarah & Sean getting engaged. Christmas has been really good (all things considering), though the past few days could've been better ... C'est le Vie.

Songs for 2006? There are so many I had in my head, but I've forgotten them so here are the ones I've remembered ....
Christina Aguileria - Fighter
Caprice - Once Around The Sun
Def Leppard - 20th Century Boy
Take That - Patience

There's a few photos I wanted to share too ...

So as 2006 draw to a close, what have I to look forward to in 2007?

Well, the end of February will see me debt free *WOOT*. I've got 4 concerts already planned - The Bloodhound Gang and Michael Bolton in March, Bryan Adams and Jason Donovan in May. Am a tad nervous about going to The Bloodhound Gang on my own, it is an understatement but I'm sure I'll be fine once I get there (she says hopefully). I'm going to see Michael Bolton with Julie, who I've not seen in YEARS! Infact, we've only met for a few hours in 11½ years, so it's going to be fab. Will also be seeing Steve in April, which I'm really looking forward too. August will see Em & Rick getting married and in September I may be spending a weekend in Blackpool with Julie, depending on if she comes with her parents or not.

Thank you for reading. All comments will be screened, and anonymous comments are disabled (sorry to those of you sent here via my blog on MySpace .. you can comment on there though).

Finally, I'd like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I hope 2007 is good for you all.
