End of Year Meme

Take the first sentence from the first entry of each month in 2008 and put it in a paragraph:

Ever since I got home from my mom's yesterday I've been having some sort of weird catastrophic internet failure, and I think it's sad that I can't go a day without internet but I NEED MY YAOI.
Time for me to start freaking out about my multitudinous WIP and try to alleviate my guilt by sketching them all out on lj.
This week has been composed of so much FAIL that it cannot be contained in a single week, and has spilled over into the weekend and quite possibly next week as well.
Found this...well, I'm not sure who's journal I saw it on, but I came across it while looking for decent multi-chaptered Captain America/Ironman ficcage (I'm still trying to decide if reading Captain America smut is unpatriotic...).
On the plus side: finally, after two weeks of wrong numbers and answering machines, got ahold of Rena, who is in charge of...something at the library back home, and she said that they didn't have a position open, but if the university/government was paying for it, I could totally work there this summer.
Just got out of my SLE oral final yay!!!!!
I don't know where the idea came from - possibly from having to wear my hair up for work - but I'm wondering suddenly if I want to do something different with my hair.
Awesome music meme I ganked from estarial!
Things That I Have Done Over Labor Day Weekend:
So I've been very seriously lurking ever since I came back from San Francisco with the plague.
Some days, no matter what you do, are just utterly unfabulous, and today was definitely one of those days.
Okay, so I lied, I'm not ready to get back to emergency last minute porn yet.


So apparently my year consisted of bitching, memes, and gay porn....yeah, that sounds about right.

Auld Lang Syne And All That Jazz

In 2008, I:

• finished my first year of college
• moved more times than I like to think about
• got my first job
• quit my first job
• went to my first full weekend convention
• read my first epic Russian tragedy
• fell in love with Jonathan Coulton, the Weakerthans, and filk
• discovered that I am a comics fan and thus an enormous dork
• changed my undeclared major
• got into the SGA, SPN, and Merlin fandoms
• voted in my first presidential election
• had my candidate win my first election
• fell in love with Rahm Emmanuel
• failed epically at NaNoWriMo
• wrote at least 25000 words of mostly slash fic

This year has had some good parts and some bad parts, but 2008 has at the very least been memorable. So bye to 2008, and here's to good 2009 for everyone!

Pretend There Are Firecrackers And Champagne

It's a few minutes to go, but in a few minutes I will be eating shrimp toast and toasting with non-alcoholic sparkly beverage, so:

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S! HAPPY 2009!
