Memes are handy when you're brain-dead...

I know I have a number of logs to reply to, and I will, but probably not until tomorrow. Mostly because shopping exhausts me more thoroughly than anything else I know of in the world. On the plus side, my Christmas shopping is mostly done, sans a few items that will hold on until Friday/next payday on the 24th. It's also wrapped. Christmas cards have been started also, although I ran out of oomph on that one today. Tomorrow. There's always tomorrow.

Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2009. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review."
January: It is possible to eat too much sushi, even for me. Ow. Oh Baldwin Street All You Can Eat sushi place, how I love you and how much you hurt me...
February: People with happy families don't become spies. An unhappy childhood is the perfect background for covert ops. You don't trust anyone, you're used to getting smacked around and you never get homesick.
March: When I was a kid, I had a series of recurring nightmares. Three or so different ones, that would pop up regularly over the years.
April: ...and a whole lot of steps back. So, I was supposed to sign my permanent contract today. The one with the benefits and the paid leave and all that good stuff.
May: So, I've just finished my first week back at work, clearing the backlog of doom that I found when I arrived. Go me. Let's see if I can't make May the month where I don't take a day off sick.
June: Today is a "meh" day, as was yesterday. No particular reason, just feeling flat and tired and sad and distant.
July: Yay for a public holiday in the middle of the week! Whoo! Especially when Band Night is Tuesday, so I could stay up as laaaaaate as I wanted. Yay G&T!
August: So, the 12th [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] is over, leaving with it the usual wreckage of sleep deprivation, excessive alcohol consumption and financial destruction, as well as the satisfaction of four days spent with a number of people who, I've realised recently, have known me longer than anyone outside of my family these days.
September: Okay, so who died and broke the Internet this time?
October: Apparently [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] (otherwise known as Andrea) got bored last night. BEHOLD!
November:Thanks to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for pointing this out: I've been recced on [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
December: ...don't count your nice quiet morning before it happens. i.e., don't assume that because you sorted out the problem that's been dogging you since Monday yesterday afternoon, that it will remain resolved.
