From the famous words by Wayne Newton..danke shoen

"Thank you for the joy and pain"

Pretty much sums up my thoughts of 2006.

JOY
I got to meet and know countless men. Met 4 in person, 3 out of 4 isn't bad. One became my soul mate and the other 2 are friends with possible benefits. I had my first affair and I got to feel the passion and desire that two people can ignite. Most importantly, I made new friends. "Priceless"

PAIN
Searching and being frustrated in finding a lover. Not having sex for a long time and the emptiness of it. My bad date with one of the men I met in person. Made me realize that I am actually not that attractive. Hearing the bad news that my friend has 10 years to live and just recently another friend has parkinson and will be having brain surgery in the summer. Both men I have known for about a lil over a year.
