The Official 2005 Recap Post
- Spent New Year's. with Josh (the Florida trip was all in '04).
- Whilst reliving January, rediscovered this flash thingy, which is my favorite thing ever.
- Totally failed in my first attempt to learn to snowboard.
- Apparently I've been working on my space invaders pillow all year. I should get going on that.
- I got my first door-to-door evangelists. I'd forgotten about that.
- This post amused me.
- I turned 24 and celebrated with the parents in NYC.
- Josh built the pigs a proper cage...oh, where did those pictures go...
- Saw the Dali exhibit at the philly art museum.
- Married off my first ex-boyfriend (both the first boyfriend and the first one to get hitched). Go him!
- My aunt's cat Pearl died. It would be weird to go home for Christmas and not see her, although, come to think of it, we usually didn't see her anyway...
- Went to Atlanta on my very first business trip.
- And got my wisdom teeth taken out, which I'm still paying off. Or more accurately the insurance paid what they felt like paying, but I spent it on groceries and rent.
- suu went and moved to Portland, which is convenient, since she is even closer now.
- got more holes in my earlobes. yay. if i had more money and healed faster...
- My car is half paid off.
- Hurricane Katrina happened, and I think that's the only current-events thing I posted about, except for Art Garfunkel getting busted for possession again.
- fairydancer and zygie went and got hitched, and I got to be a bridesmaid, and there were Resulting Festivities and all kinds of fun.
- Quit my job, had a rollicking Melleyfest goodbye party, spent a couple weeks at the parents', and had the best road trip ever.
- And now I am here, and since I've been a seattle melley I have shot rifles, seen girlyman, dar williams, voltaire, they might be giants, and gwar, and met some really fabulous people. And spent a lot of time in Bellingham, the City of Subdued Excitement.
The method: Copy and paste the first sentence of the first entry of every month this year into one fun-filled entry. I'm also going to cheat a bit and use the first remotely relevant sentence ...
January: Today the shower head came off in my hand, in such a way that it can't be screwed on again.
February: i don't have anything to write about but i sort of feel that i should post.
March: (07:23:13) melley: it's snowy
(07:23:34) josh: yes the earth ran out of selsun blue :(
April: josh's dad walked in to tell us the pope died and the first thing out of my mouth was "took him long enough." i am going to the special hell.
May: sweet, i found my modest mouse cd. i should clean more often.
June: i think i need some kind of mental help. (linked to my stargate sims, but also accurate out of context.)
July: i feel as though i should record things, since it has been a very long weekend, but i am not in a writy mood.
August: the landlord is informed of my imminent escape.
September: Oh my god, I won't have (any need for) my Big Fucking Coat in Seattle. How will I make friends???
October: going grave-hunting for my great-grandmother in west virginia tomorrow - eight hour drive just to get there, which would be fine, but all the books i meant to read and most of my yarn is packed, and i can't find my paper journal.
November: Heading down to San Francisco to visit Reed. Yay 18-hour drives!
December: dan just opened a mystery can that's been in the house since he moved in.
I think this is the first time I actually fulfilled my New Year's Resolution: to get the fuck out of Oneonta. Other than that and Chris & Gina's wedding, Most Uneventful Year Ever. But it went by quickly and next year promises to be somewhere between interesting and fabulous.
