The clock just struck twelve

And I can hear distant fireworks (and a rather melancholy-sounding bugle). Happy new year to all!

(Those who go by the Gregorian calendar anyway. ^_^;)

I would do the end-of-year meme, except nothing much happened to me this year. 2012 made me a much duller, more anxious, more discouraged person - and I resolve to be less so in 2013. That sounds rather un-celebratory: sorry.

I hope 2013 goes more smoothly. If 2012 was good for you, my best wishes that it'll be even better, and if you've had a not-so-good year, take heart that you're not alone, and things can only go up from here, right?
