Year in Review
Go to your calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2010. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review".
Note: I opted to include first Facebook entries as well, because some of them are pretty fun.
January:
LJ - Toys you really want your children to have: I am AMAZED.
FB - I've been advised that plastic surgery will bring out the "real me". That's interesting.
February:
LJ - Now that everyone's done with the Super Bowl, LOOK AT THIS!! There is a new My Little Pony series, and it is the most AMAZING, CRACKTASTIC TRAINWRECK OF RIDICULOUS SNARK AND CUTENESS. I need a drink.
FB - SURPRISE!!!French Bulldog at work today. It was embarrassing. LOL
March:
LJ - Maybe you guys can help me. I know a lot of you are big music fans.
FB - Sara Bareilles - Uncharted. Best official music video ever!! Sooo happy-making with all those talented, adorkable people! (Josh Groban and the banana have slain me; it's a good morning!)
April:
LJ - 24 days until graduation. After nearly 5 years, I will finally have my masters degree, even if I don't get my real diploma until July or August.
FB - I am beloved by muscovy ducks. Those hussies, following me around all over the place and shamelessly checking me out.
May:
LJ - I need to go to Portugal. There is a bookstore there that I will never leave. That is absolutely stunning. Pure. Sensory. Overload. Books, books, books, stained glass, molding, carving, a staircase with more sex appeal than garters and a bustier....
FB - Tornado sirens two hours ago were fun, considering there was rotation right over my internship site. The good news is I scoop up strange children first and wonder where their parents are later. Your kids will be as safe as I am at any given time.
June:
LJ - So, my brother and I drove up to Nashville last Saturday and picked up my puppy! I did a pretty good job picking her based on the pictures and a brief description of her personality. When we got there River was the first puppy to come say hello, and then while her siblings assaulted me, she stole my purse. Yes, flist, I was mugged by a pack of puppies. XD
FB - I dreamed that I, as a civilian, decided to go undercover as a stripper to catch a cocaine-smuggling politician. (My civic engagement, look at it!) My dream self can bust a move in stilettos when gunfire is involved. Also, cutting off my hair and dying it red is totally a Brilliant Disguise. Since awakening, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" has been on repeat in my brain.
July:
LJ - I'm sending a storm to capture your heart and bring you home...
FB - Flirted with firemen on a Friday. (Hey, baby, I see you checking out my alliteration...)
August:
LJ - It's been long enough that I think I've forgotten most of the interesting things I'd wanted to say to you all. So, have some music instead.
FB - 90 degrees at 8:00 AM is a bit much, Mama Nature, I'm just sayin'. We won't even discuss the humidity.
September:
LJ - One of these days I shall post something more substantial than music recs. But not tonight. Tonight is for wonderful, musical ladies.
FB - I finally bought The Rescues' second album, and now I'm kicking myself for waiting. I am absolutely in love with it. Nearly flawless.
October:
LJ - One more week of studying before my national exam, and then I'll be able to read fiction and watch movies again. Can't wait!
FB - Last fall I worked with kids and was exposed to every germ known to man, and I didn't get sick then. Why do I keep getting sick now?
November:
LJ - What can I say? I'm behind.
FB - Of all the ways I expect to be greeted, "Morning, tater tot!" from a member of the faculty is not one of them.
December:
LJ - Honest to Goodness Physical Holiday Cards... Sealed with love and saliva. Also possibly scented with cinnamon oil. I've got some experimenting to do. :D
FB - I love people's winter wear. Saw a great pair this morning: one man in Santa hat and Tiger hoodie atop obvious multiple other layers (typical enough) and his buddy in an aviator-style leather jacket and PURPLE GINGHAM FEDORA. Oooh my! Stylin', gentlemen!
