Predictions for 2006

Make three predictions about yourself and/or three about the world. What
amazing events will occur in 2006?

In the year 2006

For me:
I will gain 5 lbs.
I will sprain my ankle.
I will cause a small fire in my kitchen.

For the world:
New Yok City will be overrun by zombies.
Japan will allow a female to become the Imperial heir.
Low-rise jeans will fall out of vogue.

That was really fun! I like this better than New Year resolutions.

At first I was worried that all your self-predictions seemed destructive, but then I realized they are predictions of tragedy avoided. 5 lbs, a sprained ankle, and a small kitchen fire are relative minor versions of greater disasters.

I'm very glad I left NY before the zombies arrived. For all we know they're infiltrating via the transit strike.

Japan will absolutely allow a female to become the Imperial heir. They have no other choice. This year, or some other year, the change is inevitable. I once met Crown Princess Masako when she was visiting Squaresville. She is a very elegant charistmatic lady, something like Princess Di. Hilary Clinton could learn a lot from her.

Low-rise jeans are already on their way out, much to my chagrin. I just wear them high, which accommodates both for my thick-waist and short legs. Gap even changed their cut this year.

So what do you predict for yourself and the world next year?

Your the only one who answered!

For me:
I will make new friends.
Someone will fall in love with me.
I am likely to be on or headed towards a totally different career path by the end of the year.

For the world:
Fewer natural disasters than in 2005.
A political smackdown that will make Nixon look like a Sunday school teacher.
Investigative journalism will uncover insurance fraud and it will begin the changes needed to healthcare in this country.
