Another Auld Lang Syne



Back from the annual Walldorf New Year's reunion. (Well, annual since 2001, skipping 2005). At one point there were 20 people in a two bedroom apartment. When I was telling Mike that I lived with 13 girls in college, the first thing he wanted to know was, "was there any drama?"

Well, you'd think there would be. Petty fights, gossip, tears. Cries of, "who used my nail polish?" and "You KNEW that I liked him!" But there wasn't. Not that we didn't annoy each other, but we did try really hard to be nice. My friends from Walldorf may be the nicest people I know. Sometimes it seems unnatural. Shouldn't there be more drama?

But it makes for very happy reunions. We all still like each other. Speaking for myself, of course, but I don't think that we would all make it a priority to get together if we didn't.

So, it's 2006.

I have made two resolutions.
1) to exercise regularly.
2) to learn html.

So far, I'm doing OK with #1. I have the whole year for #2.

About Me

  • I'm thirty & living in Amish Country, PA. I'm a marketing writer for a non-profit.
  • I'm Mennonite, but not in a head-covered, dress-wearing kind of way. More in a hippy-liberal, peace-loving kind of way.
  • I like books, discussing, thinking, my church, friends, and my family.
  • I'm good at gift-giving, shopping, and writing.
  • I'm bad at meeting new people, cleaning my car, and keeping my house warm.
  • I'm annoyed by people who wear shorts in the winter, create excessive drama, don't recycle, or talk about how fat they are.
