Happy New Year one and all! 
It is 10pm on Jan. 1st here, got home this morning around 3am from a friend's BBQ which was lovely and relaxed. Due to the fire ban in our state on NYE we couldn't have our original plan of a bonfire, however we substituted with a small circular BBQ surrounded by some comfy chairs. An all-out war with dart guns ensued once the clock ticked over (my boy has the bruises to prove it) -- somehow I ended up as the only person without a gun! Figures.
Did you make any resolutions for 2011? I don't have any detailed ones, just an overall goal to continue developing into the person I WANT to be, not the person that other people would like me to be. I made the huge mistake several years ago of trying to settle down, blend in and be 'normal' just to appease others and it has resulted in a near-depressive state. NEVER AGAIN.
At the end of 2010 I chopped my hair off, started on my sleeve and went to some events I'd only dreamed of in the past. All things I'd wanted to do and had been too scared to attempt. You know what? It felt WONDERFUL.
So look out, 2011. This is the start of my (r)evolution.

I feel like I have a similar overall goal for 2011 to yours. Becoming a self that I believe I'm capable of being. All the best in the new year!
