Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning

 Farewell 2012.  We're leaving this year and into another as of tonight, but you'll always be there.  For worse, or for better.  I'm going to see it for all of the good things.  I'm going to relive them to make me smile.

2012 was Britain's year.  There is no doubt about it.  The Olympics, the Diamond Jubilee, another heir to the throne is on its way next year.  We all came together in the Summer and celebrated our culture with pride.  Anyone who didn't can naff off.

2012 was, despite how I'm feeling, a good year for me too.  I left school on a high.  The end of my formal education was marked with tears - but they were good tears, sad to be leaving and overjoyed that I'd had a wonderful time.  I started a new job.  I got into (now Royal) Central School of Speech and Drama.  I fulfilled  a childhood dream and got to play Annie in Annie!!  Something that I'd long since given up on.  I had my name mentioned in the newspaper for the first time - and it wasn't because something had gone wrong!!  It was for my performance as Annie!!  So I'll be sorry to leave 2012 behind, but bring on 2013 for me to be in a right frame of mind.

 So what are my New Years Resolutions?  Well, same as anyone really.  Lose weight.  Lose the dickheads in my life.  Be more upfront.  Do more spontaneous stuff.  Get out and about and see the sights.  Laugh more.  Breathe more.  Drink more.  Properly get into sewing.  Finish writing a novel.  Get that high E.  Get into a routine that allows me to have a tidy bedroom and study.  Take a Photograph that I'm really very proud of.  Get pretty.  Live.

So, two reasonably contradicting statements right there.  I'll leave it to you to look them over and see what you think.  Personally, I have my own theories.  

And here are some more Harry Potter quotes.  I'm a Pothead and I don't care who knows it.  Well, you know what I mean.  The messages in it really speak to me, no matter what people say about J.K Rowling writing ability.  These ones I am going to think on in the new year.  I've already set that I've had a voice. Now I am going to be corny and say that I have a choice too.  

We'll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne.  

I wish you a very happy and successful 2013.  If it's not for you then don't worry.  We can't all have a good year.  That would be boring.  Some of us sometimes have to wait our turn.  But it's always just around the corner.  Hang in there.  

As for me?    I don't care how long it takes me to get there.  But I will get there.  I'm headed towards the Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.
