in January of this year, i finally decided to start a blog…

it came after years and years of coaxing amidst threats from my devoted friends and dedicated fans, who were constantly being subjected to my ramblings, musings and epiphanies on Facebook and MySpace.

so i arranged to stop putting off what i had always been too lazy to do…

and after a month of working on the little details that drive my OCD into a raging frenzy, i chose to debut my site when the date (1/2/12) and the time (12:12) somehow mirrored one another.

but before i published my first piece, i made a tiny resolution:

i told myself that i would post at least twice a month and allow for a one month hiatus when i was either too busy to think or when writer’s block had wreaked havoc on my fragile little brain.

surprisingly, almost one year later, i have managed to keep up with that promise that i secretly made to myself…

and that right there has set the premise for the new year that we are about to embark on in these subsequent five days.

therefore, i am going to keep this last post of 2012 as short (5’3”) and as sweet (shekardaneh means “a grain of sugar”) as myself…

thank you to my 1100+ followers for supporting me and permitting my extraneous remarks to find life in your everyday hodgepodge.

although i would still force myself to write on here even without all of you present, it is so much more heartwarming to know that i actually have an audience instead of just talking to myself.

so i appreciate your sanction…

and your time…

and just you.

i wish you a glittering new year’s eve…

and look forward to further corrupting you in 2013.

bonne année et bonne santé!
