When I was in college, I had what you might call a Diet Pepsi & Mountain Dew habit. But then I spent a sememster in Austria, where Diet Pepsi was made with saccharin, which made me nauseous. After enduring the knife-splitting headaches of withdrawal, I swore off addiction once and for all.

And then came blogging. No, I’m not stocking up on Advil again, but I haven’t had much access to Mayberry or mamabird or the rest of you, and it’s making me a teensy bit antsy. Okay, maybe “antsy” isn’t how the others would describe it, but seriously, it’s making me nuts.

I’d like to do a real post here, something about New Year’s and goals or resolutions or lofty aspirations. But since I’m totally stealing my dad’s laptop and sneaking in a few forbidden moments to myself, I don’t have time right now. Instead, I simply want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2009. And dream of universal access to wireless for everyone!
