The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 13 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
Because I have absolute nothing to do right now, I’m regressing to my inner high school self (perhaps even earlier).
Stayed single almost the whole year?
Yes, story of my life
Done something you’ve regretted?
To quote Sinata, “Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.”
Lost someone?
Sigh. Yes.
Cut class?
On occasion.
Were involved in something you’ll never forget?
Definitely. Graduated, traveled, and started work.
Visited a different country?
Twelve of them: Russia, Estonia, Ukraine, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany
Cooked a gross meal?
Nope.
Lost something important to you?
Not that I can think of.
Got a gift you adore?
Yes.
Tripped over a coffee table?
Coffee table? No.
Dyed your hair?
Never.
Came close to losing your life?
Probably
Went to a party?
Of course
Read a great book?
Yes, Mere Christianity.
Saw one of your favorite bands/artists live?
Nope, 2010 I will though.
2009: Friends and Enemies
Did you meet any new friends this year?
Definitely.
Did you dislike anyone?
There’s always a few people who irk me.
Did you grow apart from anyone?
Unfortunately yes.
Do you have any regrets when it comes to your friendships?
Not that I can think of.
2009: Your BIRTHDAY!
Did you have a cake?
No
Did you have a party?
Yes…speaking of which, I still need to edit those photos and upload them…
Did you get any presents?
Yes, including this little ditty which I’m wearing right now.,
Were you single?
See above.
2009: All about YOU
Did you change at all this year?
Indeed.
Did you change your style?
I would use the word, “evolved.”
Were you in school?
Yes.
Did you get good grades?
Actually, yes.
Did you drive?
Yes
Did you own a car?
More or less.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
No. Erin Chase says, “Um hi, I gave birth actually. You’re my technical goto guy…that means we’re close. You should change that!!!!! ;]”
Did you move at all?
Back to Seattle.
Did you go on any vacations?
Several times.
Would you change anything about yourself now?
Without being able to preview an alternate timeline, no.
2009 WRAP-UP:
Was 2009 a good year?
All in all, yes.
When did things change for you if they did?
Life is a continuum, not a series of discrete moments.
Do you think 2010 will be better then 2009?
It’s going to be hard to beat, but I’m going for it.
