I stole this idea from Shan's webpage. The instructions clearly stated to take the first sentence from the first blog of each month. I actually took the first complete thought instead of the first sentence. I was pretty pleased with the results, it's actually a pretty telling little summary of my life over the past twelve months. Enjoy!
January: I am so sick of painting. I feel like I've been painting for weeks. That might be because I've been painting for weeks.
February: Day 1 of sobriety gone and done. How easy could this be?
March: I can count on one finger the number of times that I have updated my webpage drunk.
April: In 12 hours I will board a plane bound for Zurich, catch a connection to Copenhagen, and then catch a train to Malmo, Sweden.
May: When I first heard the big news, I was like, "Backstreet's back?... Alright." The last two nights I have gone out on the town with Mr. Sean Wardle and both nights have lead us on the meandering path of alcoholic revelry.
June: So I wake in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs, "What's goin' on?" g*d, remember what a kickass song that was? Well, I'm not blonde anymore ... not entirely anyway.
July: I hope everyone has big plans today for getting sunburnt, eating watermelon, and watching fireworks. Me? I'm sitting in my very air conditioned apartment watching a show about redneks in Oklahoma noodling for fish.
August: My oldest brother, Michael, who lives in Sacramento is expecting a baby.
September: This has turned into the weekend from hell. They pulled what they glibly described as "the ol' bait and switch." My "3 day all expenses paid weekend in New York City" has turned into "working 18 hours a day in Queens while commuting from South Jersey all over Labor Day weekend."
October: Since the last time we met, my CPAP has turned from a g*dsent to the bane of my existence.
November: Well, hello there. Haven't seen you in a while. How are you? Keepin' busy? Good, good. Well, hey, I'm gonna go grab a beer but it was great to see you. Mmm hmm, talk to you later.
December: I think this year, I've decided that instead of (or probably in addition to) celebrating the Solstice that I am going to celebrate Festivus.
