I'm with Bel, 2006 is going to be a life changer (although it will carry on into next year).

Sorry, details will have to wait, cuz I'm not sure where the road leads. I just know things will be really different.

Didn't see it coming, just kind of happened in an inevitable progression of events.

I'm undecided about 2006. Better than 2005 by a long, long shot, but still had some fairly impressive downs, leaving me with new scars, new doubts, new insecurities and new worries. I failed at my foray into the computer science job market, discovering that, not only am I no good at the work, it also makes me horribly miserable. That's kinda shaken my future about a bit. Added to this, I'm currently in the process of failing my degree, which isn't helping the whole future-stability issue.

However, life's improved a fair bit with the appearance of my new Lady. Even at my absolute worst, she makes me better.

Fem, I still think about one night of cyber with a certain lovely lady with whom you are well aquainted. Frankly, with Linny in Hawaii all year until just a couple weeks ago, and her now mostly incapacitated, the only sex I've had.

Love you, yanno

Can't believe I nearly forgot the major highs of my year - San Francisco and Perdita, Texas and the Love Shack, North Carolina and Yui. Great, great holiday.

2006 was all right, much better than last year. I'm looking forward to 2007.

High? Getting published.

Low. That PM that told me Colleen had passed on.

I had sex, first time in about fifteen years. It destroyed our relationship, not even ashes left.

The AH is about the only positive constant in my life. I wouldn't be as far along in life if it wasn't for this place and the good people in it.

2006 was an year of major changes for me. I started the year in a very bad place. Just before New Year's, I decided I needed to change things before it was too late. I dropped a good deal of weight (and put on some in the right places). I also started writing. One year later, I'm very happy with how far I've come. I've accomplished my first goal, which was to write things that made some people feel something, the way a writer here made me feel by his words (which was the impetus for me trying it in the first place).

I've also met someone who I feel like I've been looking for my entire life. I never imagined actually finding a woman who shared so many of my hopes and fantasies. Only knowing her for a short time, I can't predict where it will lead, but I am treasuring every moment.

Oh yeah, I just started a new job that was most definitely the answer to my prayers. That, along with the new friends I've met here, is the cherry on top of what has been one of the best years I've had.

The biggest event in my life in the last 18 months has been becoming a porn writer, and a member of this community. My life outside this place chugs along in its usual satisfactory channels, but this has been a complete surprise.

The first porn story I ever wrote went up on the "Nifty" site on July 15, 2005, but I didn't know about Lit then, and didn't post it here until August 27, 2005. I posted that first story (the first erotica - OK, porn - I had ever written) with all the trepidation of a young virgin in a "first time" story: "I am trembling and nervous, not sure about this, but can't deny my excitement, so please be gentle . . . " I had no idea what to expect - my guess was either "dropped in a black hole and no comments ever received," or "hearing from creeps whom I would rather have kept their raincoats closed.”

Instead, I received dozens kind notes from nice, normal, good people (who just like to read stories about hot lesbian sex .) One of these "fans" told me about Lit, and the rest is – history? Personal history, anyway.

If anyone had said to me 18 months ago, "Roxanne - you will be a successful porn writer," I would have laughed (and secretly felt a little thrill). The entire experience has opened an exciting new “room” in my life. I've made marvelous friends from distant places, and been allowed to express the "sex positive" side of my personality in ways that would raise eyebrows in the "real world." (That last is probably not uncommon here.) My writing has potentially opened some other doors also.

So thanks for a great year to my AH colleagues (including the "honorable opposition" in the political threads .) Hugs to my close friends here (you know who you are ), a salute to the proprietors of this wonderful web site, and most of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart to those wonderful readers whose reads, comments and votes make the entire process such a delicious thrill for all of us.

In some ways a great year. In other ways a terrible year. I discovered Lit and my writing took off - great! Someone from my past re-entered my life and turned it upside down. I'm still picking up the pieces of the mess he left behind... I sincerely hope 2007 will be an improvement in many ways. Mind you, I say this every goddamn year and it never fucking is!

Writing...

I wrote and posted 20 stories and 1 poem in 2006.

I won the Lit How-to competition and was published (for money!) in an Australian Lad's magazine.

2006 pretty much sucked for me. 2007 had better be better.

Here's to a better 2007 , but still damned good to see you in 2006.

For me, as well. But then, it was much like 2005.

The bright spot was summer.

What I have time to write about this year:

Highs:
Met a few cute girls
Joined the forums here regularly
Played a lot of poker
Won some money in a couple of poker games
Did very well in a couple of poker tournaments
Advanced another belt in kung fu
Asked a girl out who said YES!!! for the first time in eleven years

Lows:
The YES!!! turned into a No between asking and making plans, as she got back together with her ex
Lost more money than I won in one poker game
My grandfather died
One of my kung fu instructors died
I still haven't had sex in over ten years
Or a date for that matter
My car needed more repairs than it should have
I'm getting more grumpy and baligerant, and moody
I can't find it in me to write anything anymore for the last few months
Everything seems really boring

 

[RogueLurker]

There was some good ... there was some bad.

I wouldn't want to repeat it.

On the upside: This is the year that set a few things in motion. Started fidgeting on a music career, started fidgeting on a business, started peeking at a new and exciting pile of knowledge, started making plans to escape this dead-end corner of the world. I hope to cash in on some of those next year.

On the downside: I went from having a girl, to not having a girl. But I'm not too concerned about that. Single is a normative state that I'm comfortable with, until something else comes along.
