no title

If you constantly talk to yourself (like I do), you are either nuts, or you are talking to your dæmon. In the world of His Dark Materials, one's dæmon or soul, has its own consciousness, able to hold conversations and keep secrets from his/her human, which is pretty cool. After becoming an adult, a person's dæmon would take on a permanent form, and people would be able to tell one's character from the appearance of his/her dæmon. There was this guy I saw a few days ago, and I just felt so sure that his dæmon would be a rabbit, if it existed. I wonder what mine would be. Probably a mouse or a squirrel.. or a skunk.

Anyway it seems that a new year has come, and so I should say something about the past year. Well, good riddance, I am not sorry to see it gone. One of the worst years of my life. I cannot remember how many times throughout those 365 days where I have said "This is just not my year". So many things that I have done wrong, so many things that have gone wrong. With the benefit of hindsight, there are so many things I would have done differently, but now its too late, and some things done cannot be undone.

Yes, it was also the year where I had two of my fantasies shattered. One, as mentioned previously was my dream to be the dictator of a little island. The second, quite predictably was to be a pro-gamer. Apparently I am overaged now, and since I am not yet pro enough to turn pro, its over. In WC3, I am ranked 2000+, while in TF2 I am in the top 80, but its just not enough. That just leaves one dream, which at the moment hangs in the balance.

Bidding starts today, which really makes me cringe. I dont want the sem to begin! An uphill task of setting my CAP right. Even reading P6 materials a couple of days ago wore me out..

Anyway, hope everyone has a good year ahead. And find some marpizan.
