+ quote a song lyric that sums up your year: i can't think of anything. maybe that's why this year sucked.

this year felt like a pretty crappy year. i was always freaked out about having enough money. i flaked on the majority of my social commitments. i am not happy with my job situation. the boat engineer and i have had our ups and downs (april through august were pretty much a giant down). but i've survived. i've been able to work with minimal (in my mind) flaking. i'm living in a place that isn't a complete shithole and is fairly cheap. next year i just need to work on finding a job i like that pays enough to live and to make the time to hang out with my friends. it would be awesome if i could be cleaner as well.
