year in general meme
See? This is what you post when you actually have drafted three different posts about stuff that's just so not in the moment anymore the most enthusiasm anybody could work up for reading said posts would be a very apathetic 'Meh?' So in lieu of TL:DR posts I bring you a MEME
Nicked from veronamay and rivers_bend.
1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Flew to America, ran for five non stop minutes on the treadmill (MULTIPLE TIMES) - that's non stop as in consecutively, like one after the other! It's astounding I know. AND I hit my first home run ever in a softball game - now that felt awesome - it's my 3rd ever season and I hope to repeat it.
2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Nope don't make 'em.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Hmmm my cousin did.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Yes, my adopted Uncle David.
5. What countries did you visit?
USA.
6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
More drive and motivation.
7. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
September 23rd - the day David slipped away.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Going to America on a spur of the moment decision and achieving further professional qualifications for it.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not finishing stuff I started.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Touch wood (there's still a few days left!) no I didn't...oh wait I did get that vertigo imbalance shit for a day.
11. What were the best things you bought?
My brand new 2010 Ford, My new HTC phone, the home theatre projector system.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Australian voters.
13. Whose behavior appalled you?
Oh we are not going there...let's just say it's work related. There's not enough room on the internet for such rantological diatribes.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Trip to the USA.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Going to the USA, my shows coming back, U2/ACDC/Pearl Jam/Bon Jovi concerts, my new car.
16. What song will always remind you of 2010?
U2 song I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - basically because of the moment at the concert with over 50 thousand people singing in unison.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Both.
ii. thinner or fatter? About the same.
iii. richer or poorer? Richer.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Reading. Finishing stuff. Exercising.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Eating the wrong crap. Dealing with incompetency in my workplace.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Visiting my parents. Then brother and sister in law - on their farm.
21. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
It's still a tie - I can't decide between Tom Welling, Jared Padalecki or Jensen Ackles, I don't think I ever could.
22. What political issue stirred you the most?
The state of Education in this country.
23. Who did you miss?
David. My girl - Raven.
24. Who was the best new person you met?
Too many to mention - made some very awesome friends in America. Online netlynn has just made my day - for weeks on end now :) Can't wait to meet her one day.
25. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010.
That America is full of surprises and more positivity than you'd think.
26. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways.
