2006: Year in Review

Dec 30, 2006 15:43

I think I'll do this aphabetically, one per letter.

Allied Insurance: Stole me away from Sedgwick CMS. I’m off to the world of policy work and auto insurance. Wish me luck!

Buffy: Finished watching “Buffy” all the way through, courtesy of Jake. For my money, the fifth and sixth seasons are the best.

Car accident: Got rear ended when I stopped to let an elderly nun lead a blind orphan across the street. No good deed goes unpunished.

Diet: Lost 30 pounds. Gained it back. Sigh...

Epididymitis: Excruciating testicular pain!

Football: Learned how to throw a spiral. Too bad it’s about 10 years too late for high school P.E.

Giant TV: In a display of gross consumerism, I upgraded to an LCD flatscreen. We’re very much in love. ;)

Hawaii: Went on a family-style Hawaiian vacation a la "The Brady Bunch." It was amazing!

Ink: Officially gave up on ever getting a tattoo, as there is nothing I can imagine still liking when I’m 80.

Japanese Cuisine: Learned how to make Chicken Katsu and some tasty sauces. Yum!

Knitting: My hobby became even more of an obsession. I discovered the Yarn Garden in Portland. Started experimenting with my own patterns.

Love life: Discovered I still have it in me to fall in love. Made more than my share of mistakes in this department in the last 12 months. Hoping next time I'm less of a spaz.

Mortgage: Started looking for a condo to call my very own. Got discouraged when I realized I can’t afford to buy anything I would want to live in.

Nintendo: I fell in love with my Super Nintendo all over again. Dr. Mario is one of my best friends and always will be.

Old people: I continue to suffer from a crippling fear of the elderly.

Peer Pressure: I caved and got a myspace account.

Qualstein, Eric: People at work mistakenly thought I was Jewish. Hilarity ensued.

Road to Hana: The longest day of my life. If you’re ever on Maui, don’t do this.

Smoking: Quit. Started again. Getting ready to quit again. Something else to wish me luck with.

Toyota: Bought my first new car, a Toyota Corolla.

Uncle: Found out I'll be an uncle again in just a few weeks.

Valentine’s Day: This was the first year Valentine’s Day wasn’t totally lame.

Waffles: I’m addicted to Waffles. I don’t understand it. I can’t stop eating them.

Xtube: Best new website of the year. ;)

Yesteryear: I think I spent less time living in the past this year. It’s a good thing.

Zipbung: I’ve decided to retire the zipbung journal and start a new one in 2007. You’re all invited!
