The Year in Review
I don't normally do these things, but this one actually seemed pretty good (stolen from Shanna). So if anyone's interested, check it out!
What did you do in 2008 that you have never done before?
Sang in a Pagan choir, performed ritual in a skyclad Circle, became initiated, saw Eddie Izzard live, went to Spring Mysteries, voted the winning ticket in a presidential election, and participated in Celtic Reconstructionist and Antinouan religious rituals.
Did you keep all of last years resolutions?
I don't really do resolutions, per se, but I did make of list of things that I wanted/needed to do, and I did many of them. What I didn't manage to do was find more work and get an apartment of my own.
Have you any resolutions for next year?
