As usual, late to the party...
So this is the secret place where you all whisper secrets to each other and carefully craft your horrid plans. I'm on to you all!
Naturally I suppose I might as well get in on the action, and what better way to do that than by resurrecting an old meme which has long since run it's course.
Timely!
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
Oh where should I begin? So much happened this past year, although most current in my memory is writing this very document and then sending it into the future so it could properly be put out for viewing as soon as it was past it's prime time. And I invented a forward time machine (i.e. a hole in the ground).
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Okay, Blood Pacts: Bad Idea. So, no and no.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
...no?
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
The fine, glorious land of Atlantavania, in the kingdom of Georgiana, where everyone wears shoes on their heads and sings backwards ...all the time. Also, their embassy is made of nothing but goat cheese and wishes. True story, I was there.
6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
Acen. Also there was a distinct lack of hard core awesomeness on my part in 2008. Just an occasional dose of regular awesomeness at best. I should really get back on the ball.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
February 19, 2008 because that is the date tatooed on my skull.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
But there were so many...
Achievement Unlocked: Bird Watcher (Complete and release three or more awesomecore Galaxy Angel videos in a single calendar year)
Achievement Unlocked: Big Jumper (Complete the "Skydiving" mission without vomiting once [sorry Kit])
Achievement Unlocked: Summarize Proust (Use more than the recommended amount of text on at least six [6] videos this year)
Achievement Unlocked: Action Jackson (Find and enter the "Unpleasant Toilet Stall" location somewhere in Mississippi, catch a rare strain of plague, and survive the encounter)
Achievement Unlocked: Cat's In The Cradle (Join inner circle without a single stabbing)
Achievement Unlocked: Galileo Galileo (Sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in it's entirety while in public with at least two [2] other Inner Circle members [quality notwithstanding])
9. What was your biggest failure?
Achievement Still Locked: Total Aeshole (Uber the Jeep-Jeep)
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Weren't you listening? The thing about the plague? I fondly refer to it as "Boomeritis".
11. What was the best thing you bought?
A new computer, clearly. I named it Gravity.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
The inventor of the salt gun. It has changed my life.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and sad?
The slug king. His days are numbered.
14. Where did most of your money go?
AWA, the trip to AWA, and the various crappy food stalls along the way.
15. What events did you get really, really, really excited about?
AWA, my first real con. Although very little time was spent at the actual con. Other than that, the Renaissance Xtreme which was later cancelled.
16. What song will always remind you of 2008?
"The Ballad of 2008, Year of the Marzipan" by Johnny McSweeney and the Feral Dawgs.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
happier or sadder?: Just a little happier each day.
thinner or fatter?: Revolution Dynamite!
richer or poorer?: meh
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Your mom.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
...ditto.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Wait, what? Christmas is past. Next year then? I suppose blocking out the constant stream of White Christmas recordings that seem to pour from the very earth like cow bile.
21. Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
Mr. Skype and all his little voices.
22. Did you fall in love in 2008?
*sigh*
23. How many one-night stands?
Wait for it.... ..... ....HA! Of course not! *sigh*
24. What was your favorite TV program?
No, TV. No. Bad. Leave me be.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
The makers of the snack food Corn Nuts. Curse you and your foul crunchiness.
26. What was the best book you read?
A tome containing all worldly knowledge in lieu of whatever the proper answer would be.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery or rediscovery?
Oh, TV On The Radio, why won't you be my wife? Click. What? No, I'm just cleaning up.
28. What did you want and get?
A pony. I named him Prince Pennington.
29. What did you want and not get?
Food for the pony, so it died.
30. What were your favorite films of this year?
Well, I finally saw Lost Highway and that's certainly high on the list for reasons I won't go into. Oh, and In Bruges. That one is all aces.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
The year was 1983. Motor cars first appeared on the market, powered by steam and an intricate gerbil system. President Dolphin Lundgrin had just been elected Emperor President. And the world's supply of pretzel mix had finally been depleted. Where were you on that fateful day?
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
See question 23.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008?
As Johnny Cash once said of his own wardrobe, "It's dark in there."
34. What kept you sane?
[ANSWER OMITTED]
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most/least?
SLUUUUUGG KINNNNNNNG! I'll have your hide! Your slimy hide!
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The people voting on things. What a bunch of pricks.
37. Whom did you miss?
Same ones as always.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
All those people I met in the airport while the grim dinosaur skeleton looked down upon us with a silent, wistful hunger.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008
No John, You Are The Demons.
40. Do you have any lost feelings of others?
I don't even know what that means. Did I lose the feelings I had for them or did the actual person get lost? What is that supposed to be implying? What is kiss?
41.Quote a song that sums up your year:
"99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer..." Wait, that's not right. How about: "T with the R with the O U B L E-ma, lookin for some trouble." Ah, truly the story of my life.
Thank you, tip your waitresses.
