I think that's it.
and a survey:
1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Shit more epically dumb than ever before!
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Don't think I had any.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not close currently, but Frances had a boy :D
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Not this year.
5. What countries did you visit?
None.
6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
Common sense, motivation, and anything indicating Watchmen will be good.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Hopefully the election. Things best be epic.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Not destroying myself or flunking out of college during Spring semester.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Becoming more distant from Sarah. Also, not following my Dad's advice.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I was a bit more sicky this year. Cold-like.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Husker.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Husker.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The election. Also, BSG and Doctor Who. And just about feeling better in general during the summer.
16. What song will always remind you of 2008?
I's like to say I Want Love, or maybe a song from Rockband 2, but probably Katy Perry things.
Compared to this time last year, are you:
17. Thinner or fatter? Maybe a little fatter, maybe about the same.
18. Richer or poorer? Poorer.
19. What do you wish you'd done more of? Things I wanted.
20. What do you wish you'd done less of? Stupid things.
21. How will you be spending Christmas? I was at my grandparent's house, like always.
22. Did you fall in love in 2008? With my darling Potato Chip.
24. What was your favorite TV program? BSG/Doctor Who/Mighty Boosh. How I Met Your Mother is also great.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Don't think so.
26. What was the best book you read? Do comics count? If so, Adventure Avengers. I really don't remember what I read this year.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Doctor Horrible?? Also, rediscovering MSI and Scissor Sisters.
28. What did you want and get? Townhouse.
29. What did you want and not get? A good 4 series finale. The build up was great, best work on the follow through, Rusty.
30. What was your favorite film of this year? Probably goes without saying, but, Iron Man.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? Went to my grandparent's and had dinner with my parents. It was a really great 21st birthday, actually.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? If the bullshit of spring semester hadn't happened...hey, that still holds true for this year. Maybe I'm just really bad at Spring?
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008? Casual, then Feilding-esque, then I got lazy, so back to casual.
34. What kept you sane? My friends and fandom.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? RDJ, also, Sexhart.
36. What political issue stirred you the most? Gay rights/1st Amendment stuff.
37. Who did you miss? My mom.
38. Who was the best new person you met? How about person I got to know better--That'd be Brasington.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank ya for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight
Wherever I am you'll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don't shed a tear
I'll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive
So when in doubt just call my name
Just before you go insane
If I ever leave this world
Hey I may never leave this world
But if I ever leave this world alive
She says I'm okay; I'm all right,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right
She says I'm okay; I'm all right,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right
Yeah should be all right
