Naturally, I celebrate my triumphant return to the interweb-o-sphere with nothing less than a survey.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before? Got a new job without first being forcibly sent away from another one.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I pretty much kept off the beer. I cheated every now and then, but for the most part I did pretty good. I'll probably try to keep it up next year. I also want to read a book a month.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? My cousin.
4. Did anyone close to you die? No.
5. What countries did you visit? Still none.
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009? Um. I guess the ability to play Xbox online from my living room? I think that should be taken care of shortly tho.
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Dec. 14th, which was the first day at my new not-sucky job!
