2005 survey

Yoinked from ilna. I'm leaving for Sault Ste. Marie in ten days, and won't be back until after Xmas, so what could happen in the meantime?

Questions first, for your own cutting and pasting should you desire it, and then my Q&A:

Another Year in Review Meme

Take the first paragraph of the first post of each month in the last year, and place it by the month name.

Like so:

January
It was about as restful a holiday as it could have been. I got a fair amount of sleep, or rather time to stare at the ceiling quietly with all the lights off.

February
Someone out there is taking pictures of students' butt-floss thong underwear hanging out and posting them on the net! Aiiieee!

March
It has been brought to my attention that I have missed the 101st birthday of Theodore Geisel, also known as "Dr. Seuss".

April
After work on Friday I went to pick up Aki [oh yeah, I've been too busy having things happen to write about them - most of you know about this already but a quick recap: I moved out two weeks ago, living with Betty now. Papers aren't signed yet but a matter of time. I have no regrets except where Aki is concerned. Alea iacta est. Your mileage may vary. Screw you if it does beyond one standard deviation. No, not you, you over there.] and it was raining so hard I couldn't see the other side of the street clearly.

May
Another weekend filled with consumption of pork products - pork jerky on the way to Grandma's, a roast ham, and a huge feast of cornmeal back bacon and cornbread on Sunday. I think the reason why these boots don't fit is that I'm growing trotters.

June
My shirt’s not fitting well today. When is the blessed event?

July
Matters coming to a final head. Extremely stressed out. I am OK but
Don’t ask me if I want to talk, please. I know things will get better. Later, everyone...

August
An account of my first meeting with Istvan Kantor, in Montreal in the summer of 1987: http://www.livejournal.com/users/ltmurnau/29584.html

September
Yeah, I’m back.

October
A list of Mongolian clan names, originally yoinked from "Harper's Weekly" e-mail.

November
The Meme of Two. Yoioioioinked from emmabovary as well:

December
Aki wrote to me! Okay, it's not much but it's the first time he's written to me. A thank-you letter to my dad, which I will forward, was enclosed. The stationery features a train engine careening down a hillside, about to collide with another train coming out of a tunnel, while the boxcars attached to the original train have come off and are exploding in the background.

I'm not sure what the theme of my year was from these entries - perhaps that I should have written more, or done fewer memes.
