Rode a commuter bus and got a tattoo

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next this year?
I don't remember if I made any new year's resolutions for this year... so probably not. I don't know if I'll make any for the new year, they tend to set me up for failure.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
hmm... some friends from high school, some friends from college, but since I haven't met any of the babies, I'd say we weren't that close.

My beloved cat Smrgl

England and Scotland. WOOT

6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
money!

7. What dates from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
thats a hard one. I doubt I'll look back on 2009 when I'm old and say something like, 'ah, 2009! The year I...' Nothing that momentous happened this year.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting a new job just in time to move out of the old crappy apartment and into the new shiny one.

not keeping myself busier while i was unemployed
