2010 Year in Review Meme.
Behind the times, but I'll do the 2010 meme here. I haven't completely abandoned you, old friend, although I am a bit late.
I wonder if I remember the cut code.
Ugh, why is this so long.
1. Was 2010 a good year for you?
Yes, twas a very good year. It was a mess of a good year.
2. What was your favorite moment(s) of the year?
It's insanely difficult to think back far enough, but halloween time was quite good. Working with Drinking in the Morning on their podcast and playing the recurring character of Werewolf Spaceman were both great moments. The vacation I took to Myrtle Beach with the guys at the start of the year was great. Carolina making it to the SEC championship and the games around that time were great fun.
3. What was your least favorite moment(s) of the year?
Deciding to end graduate study pursuit in earnest. Bad times with low funds. Endless job interviews and background checks.
4. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Nothing comes to mind. It was a year of drink and revelry.
5. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I can't remember what they/it was, so I'm guessing that's a big old no. I have made new ones for this year, which I will keep and have already started on.
6. Where were you when 2010 began?
The Whig, as I was this year. It was a lot busier there last year than it was this year, which was nice.
7. Who were you with?
So many great drunken friends and I would go so far as to say family.
8. Where will you be when 2010 ends?
I was at the Whig again! Holding down the fort with the same great group of people.
9. Who will you be with when 2010 ends?
I already answered this, shut up.
10. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Hmm. There were births from friends, but nobody especially close yet.
11. Did you lose anybody close to you in 2010?
Fortunately no. Two people I knew of in passing and maybe talked to a few times were killed in hit and runs this year though.
12. Who did you miss?
Long-distance friends, both near and far. R&M has essentially collapsed so there's those folks. Though fortunately I keep in touch with many of them via facebook and the IRC chat.
