Hello all. Since it's the last day of 2008, I thought I'd just throw out a few observations/thoughts/rants about the past year.
1) It's been a pretty good year for me in many ways. I got baptized, and I just turned 20. Hooray!
2) TV was good this year. I wasn't horribly disappointed by any of my favorite shows... even if Doctor Who staged a bit of a dues ex machina at the finale. (But hey, what's new about that?)
3) The economy is going down. Things look bad for the system. Again, I repeat: hooray!
4) Heath Ledger died. That's the first time I was bothered by something like that. I don't know why, it just felt... weird. You don't expect that sort of thing to happen to a young person. Makes your own (young) existence feel even more fragile by comparison.
5) This was a great year for music. And I can't think of the summertime without hearing songs from 'Viva la Vida' It's like some weird, psychological connection.
6) A nice summertime at home, spent with a good book, good food, good people, and a lot of naps. I didn't even know I liked naps until this year.
7) I went (mostly) vegan, and I've stuck to it pretty well. And, tomorrow: 2 years of being a vegetarian! Maybe I'll make some vegan cupcakes to celebrate. :)
8) I've learned some songs on the piano, which, despite my lack of rhythm and inability to read sheet music, makes me feel just a little bit cooler.
9) I have nearly finished 'Crime and Punishment.' (Nearly finishing it is an accomplishment in itself, believe me. I started reading it in August.)
10) I now have this and this. My Geekness is complete.
Hopefully, 2009 will be just as good as 2008, and include: a job with benefits, pioneering of some sort, making more artwork, a driver's license, and lots more cookies.
So. Your thoughts on the past year?

Pretty cool! I felt pretty useless in 2008, but after a second thought, I did a lot of good things. This year I finished the first year of school, I read a ton of books I normally wouldn't have read, I went on an amazing trip, made artistic expression at my parents house and visited a lot of old friends and made some new ones! I'd say it was good, even if it was long. What year is it now?
You did awesome, you did. :D
Like I said in Joellyn's post, a personal goal of mine is to appreciate all that I've had & look forward to what's ahead.
No regrets, just always trying to learn.
Oh, and re: your "this" & "this" purchases, I am proud you embrace your geekiness!
Thanks! It's good for me to at least recognize when I'm being a geek. :D
