winteropheliaChicago was fun. Hung out with Paul and his friends most of the time. Kate and Austin's shindig was fun, but I don't really feel like I totally spent time with anyone but Robert and maybe Ted. Waking up in that tiny hotel room was super confusing though. Didn't know where I was. Also, I was proud of myself for getting from Glen Ellyn to downtown and back again. At one point I was kinda nervous, but I looked down the train car and there were two guys reading the Axis & Allies rule book and another reading Battle Royale. Comforting.
Avatar 3-D IMAX success on Tuesday night. I felt a little sick near the beginning. Don't sit in the third row. Elizabeth and I saw Up in the Air last night, which was good. One day I should update my movie review blog.
Christmas was good. Got some neat stuff including the bag of holding from thinkgeek, a Degobah frog terrarium, a gift certificate to Anthropologie, Special Edition Star Trek Blu-ray, etc. Made a good Christmas mix. Christmas party went well enough. Most of us spent our time standing around talking and laughing it up in the kitchen. Christi's boyfriend is a riot. BJ put both of us in his ugly sweater. A certain member of our party got plastered out of her mind for the first time ever. Whee! Over all, though, it wasn't very Christmasy, except for gift giving.
Need to find a ride to New Years festivities tonight. Should probably get that sorted out.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Utterly failed a class. Went to a bunch of museums in Chicago. Had college friends visit.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I rarely make any.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nooo.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My grandfather died this summer.
5. What countries did you visit?
None. I need to get out of here.
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
The guts to leave home. A good job. A brain.
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I imagine round about when Gov died.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Doing what I needed to do to actually graduate officially and not procrastinating forever.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Failing that class about women. Not growing out of certain behaviors.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I think my allergies have gotten worse.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
This laptop. It still doesn't have a name.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Maybe clothes? Maybe comic books?
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The end of Battlestar. Spring break Saturday Adventure Club roadtrip. Nate coming back to school. My cousin's wedding. People visiting.
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
Party Hard by Andrew W.K.
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. Always poorer.
19. What do you wish you'd done more of? Adventure things.
20. What do you wish you'd done less of? Lazy things.
21. How will you be spending Christmas? I was at my grandma's house, then came home, as usual.
22. Did you fall in love in 2009? Nope.
24. What was your favorite TV program? BSG/True Blood/Venture Bros.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Glenn Beck. He can suck it.
26. What was the best book you read? Triste Tropique!
27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Pirate Metal? New Patrick Wolf?
28. What did you want and get? Adventure and a college roadtrip.
29. What did you want and not get? A solid post-graduation plan.
30. What was your favorite film of this year? Star Trek.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I turned 22. Um...I don't remember what I did. I think people came over here and we hung out?
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? If solid after-graduation plan was go.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009? Pretty lazy. Lots of jeans and tshirts.
34. What kept you sane? Not being alone much.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? RDJ.
36. What political issue stirred you the most? As usual, gay rights things.
37. Who did you miss? My mom when I was at school. College people when I was at home.
38. Who was the best new person you met? I got to know Paul really well, and that was a good thing.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I’m
Taking a ride
Off to one side
It is a personal thing
Where
When I can’t stand
Up in this cage I’m not regretting
I don’t need a better thing
I’d settle for less
It’s another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world
Alone
Stop
before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here
Rest
Even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to
I don’t need a better thing
Just to sound confused
Don’t talk about everyone
I am not amused by you
'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you
'Cause I’m gonna lose you
Yes, I’m gonna lose you
If I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna lose you for good
Yay! Depressing!
I have a D&D character to finish, a package to mail, and booze to buy.
Happy New Year!
