I couldn't do my updates while I was away for Christmas holidays cos I wasn't at my own computer, and the computer I was using was using Explorer instead of Netscape and blah blah blah and yada yada yada... suffice to say, there should have been a new journal entry on the 23rd. But I couldn't do it, and therefore missed the Christmas thing. So I am doing it now.

Everyone: (and you know who you are) To each and every one of you, I offer you a wish for peace, a wish for love and a wish for prosperity. You have all played a vital role in the shaping and reshaping of my self, and the journey I undertake, and without you I would be less. I won't say you complete me, cos that's just too codependent, but I will say that you compliment me, and help me to be a better person through your humour, your kindness, sometimes your meanness, and most of all your love. And I love you too.

(Plus I thought this would be really funny for all those folks out there who just read this to find their names)
