What passes for introspection

sabotabbyAh, yes. So the evening's festivities went well. Buncha friends, some wine, some Guinness, some Jameson, and possibly some embarrassing videos on my digital camera (I haven't checked yet).
I was miserable yesterday primarily because 2006 was marked by life-altering events hitting me one after another. Probably my biggest contradiction is that, while I agitate for change in the world, I long for stability in my own life. The past year has been about the universe reminding me that I don't call the shots and that I'm not the kind of person who gets any kind of stability.
So, big, frightening changes and all that. I don't do resolutions, but if I did, it'd be to make more of the big frightening changes myself to mitigate the ones that I have no control over.
This puts a lot of things into perspective.
