2003, summarized

This was a rough year for a lot of people I know. Me included. There were some good spots though...

Gnomedex and meeting all kinds of cool people. My brother and his wife had a baby girl. Gina and Bill had a baby boy. Robyn and Todd are pregnant. Statia moved into a cool new apartment. Some friends who were job hunting found work. I reconnected with people important to me - friends and family. I met some wonderful people who I only knew through blogging and IM. We got a puppy (this is a good news/bad news kind of thing still, but I love him). I got better with a camera (and I really need to take more pictures). I got to meet my niece finally! I saw Norah Jones and Tori Amos in concert. I read a bunch of good books and saw some good movies. I took 2 weeks in a row off of work (that has to be a first for me). I went to Chicago for a class and met an IRC friend for dinner.

I'm sure there's more but that's not a bad list.

I read 56 books and saw 58 movies. Lots of media. I wrote 906 entries and got gobs of comments. Friendster thinks that I am connected to 83,770 people in your Personal Network, through 17 friends.
