Date: 2004-12-22 09:21 pm (UTC)Well, I've been seen a lot of flist members reflecting on 2004 (either on their own or through some popular meme/survey thing) -- feelings seem to be mixed about this year (though most of my LJ flist agrees -- those were dark days around and after November 2). Definitely mixed for me. Ah, the joys of life being complicated...
May 2005 be brighter and happier (and may Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and whoever else on the Bush Admin deserves it be fired and replaced by people are more competant in demonstrating their "compassion" for everyone -- ah, sigh, I can dream, can't I?)

Date: 2004-12-27 07:55 am (UTC)Thanks for the compliment, but I just nicked that picture from an LJ LOTR icon community, after having had to read Mary Wollstonecraft for my intermediate exams in EngLit. Unfortunately, nobody asked me about foot massages then... :)
