a new year's blessing

As the New Year is born, we are all reborn
with new hopes and dreams.
Guide us in the future as in the past.
Give us strength and courage,
knowledge and fulfillment,
assist us as we attempt to achieve our goals.

Every beginning has an ending,
and every ending is a new beginning.
In life is death, and in death is life.
Watch over us, our loved ones,
and all of our brothers and sisters, here and departed.
Bless us all as we light our bonfires, our hearth fires,
and the eternal fires in our hearts.
Guide us and protect us,
today and throughout the coming year.
Blessed be.

Make a list of 15 statements about yourself.
* 5 of the 15 statements must be LIES
*Post your list and have people guess which five are lies!

1. I don't usually feel it when I'm tired, and thus end up falling asleep at really weird times or places.
2. I've kissed more guys than girls.
3. I start going absolutely nuts if I don't hear some sort of music for more than 12 hours.
4. I've been known to start singing quietly to myself in the middle of exams.
5. I always had trouble telling left from right until my friend Lina renamed my hands to "q" and "xyz".
6. I run 4 LJ communities.
7. The last book I read was Tolkien's Silmarillion.
8. One of my blankets is a (oldschool) Strawberry Shortcake one. I also have Strawberry Shortcake air fresheners in my van, a calendar of it, and a doll from both the 80s and early 90s series that were released.
9. I took a year and a half of music at university and loved it, but still decided to drop and go into business instead.
10. I can't stand most of Gackt's music, yet I find his career to be fascinating and follow it anyway.
11. The Japanese release of Roentgen was the first Hyde album I bought.
12. I've been interested in Tolkien ever since a nanny read me the hobbit when I was 9.
13. I've only been to the United States once.
14. The only movies I willingly watch are horror movies, anime, musicals, and movies for books I loved.
15. My bedroom is mostly bright pink, with accents of yellow and blue; with a sort of a star motif going on.
