A couple of retrospective memes
January:
"Happy New Year!
I have a good feeling about this one :)"
February:
"I've noticed that when I have to rush posts on WILT (most often from not having updated recently), they're much more terse. Does that make them more or less readable, I wonder?
(that's http://www.rubah.net/wilt/ if you're willing to pass judgment)."
March:
"http://www.twitter.com/rubahness
Who has a twitter? (besides rebek and bleys) plz comment plz. Its search function is incredibly broken."
April:
"So my roommate has turned into über-bitch, so I've decided to turn her passive aggression back on her until school's out. If she wants to write facebook notes about how I eat too loud, I'll give her something to write about 8)"
May:
"This is the color of the lightning I just saw
It was followed by a huge spray of sparks (normal yellow)"
June:
"But sleep Wilber did. idk, that quote got stuck in my head at a young age (first grade) and I've never bee able to lose it. "
July:
"I swear, they know just how to get me aggravated in the worst way (sorry foa). "
August:
"I think part of my wanderlust and adventuring thirst comes from having parents who were never willing to do anything or go anywhere. "
September:
"Tutoring is going well; didn't have anyone show up today (day after hw was due), but had five people earlier in the week. I guess I've made $63 so far, and gotten a lot more hw done than I would've otherwise. "
October:
"(I woke up distraught and forlorn, and incapable of believing the events of the night previous had truly happened.)"
November:
"Mosquito bites don't leave bruises, do they?"
December:
"Listen, I know sometimes I have slightly furry inclinations, but mostly I just think ears and tails and shiz are cute."
