I do this damn thing every year. This time I'm doing it before January first, so at least I know the first sentence of next year's won't be "take the first sentence from the first post of each month," which I guess is something. I haven't found the sentences yet as I'm typing this, so I have no idea whether it's interesting or tragically boring, but I'm sure it's an accurate representation.
Instructions: take the first sentence (or 2) from the first post of each month of 2006. That's your year in review.
January:
Does anyone have any advice for kickstarting dormant creativity?
February:
Today can be ego-boost day. Everyone needs one of those from time to time.
March:
There is an open, half-empty can of Diet Dr. Pepper sitting in my freezer, right next to the ice box.
April:
When I ask that my computer not periodically just shut it self off for kicks, am I asking too much?
May:
It's nice to be home. If I'd spent one more day driving, or one more night in a hotel room, I think I might have lost my mind a little bit.
June:
WTF, why am I doing this?
July:
clez gave me the letter I.
August:
Will somebody please remind me why I'm going back to school?
September:
I didn't make some big post about how I felt five years ago today, or what sticks out in my memory, because I don't remember how I felt.
October:
According to a shiny new article on CNN.com, sleep deprivation causes depression, as well as an increase in stress hormones.
November:
In other news, my roommate didn't know you could time things on a microwave.
December:
totally awesome
Alas, nothing quite measures up to last year's "As of this week, I now sell hardcore hentai." Oh well. I'm probably not going to top that one. I am rather pleased by the lack of emo, though, at least by my standards.
