juldeaOkay. So I can't actually give the double middle finger to 2008 and tell it to fuck off. Yes, it had more than its usual share of utter absolute crap. But there were good times, too.
Just to get this one out there: yes, this year![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
londo broke up with me. That falls securely outside of the realm of "good times." However, in the time since then, I have found out so much about myself and what I'm capable of and what's at my core, and this knowledge will lead to good times in the future. And he and I have done a really damn good job of dealing with all of our issues and remaining close and friends. I really, really look forward to more good times with him in the future.
I've been at my awesome job for over a year. I've really cemented my place there and confirmed it as the place I want to be.
Serious progress on Get Out Of Debt By 30. 3/4 of credit cards paid off, the last and final and biggest one being the project for this year.
I witnessed and participated in a pretty epic national election, the results of which at least make me proud of my generation.
I threw a birthday party for the first time in a long while in 2008, and several people came and made me feel special and happy. In fact, I think 2008 can really well be characterized by the "holy shit I have awesome friends who love and care about me" year. *hugs*
I got a piano. Thank you,quish! And thank you, nightskyre and shogunhb and freerange_snark and the non-LJ people who helped me move it. ♥ ♥
Babies happened! Yay babies! (Referring tonightskyre and anitra's little one and k1ttycat and kestrel101's little one. :)
I did a completely unscripted bellydance routine for a large group of people. And didn't fail.
I made meatcakes. I got pearls. I made new friends. I went on da... well, okay, one date.
2009 is full of promise. Old friendships to keep strong, new friendships to make strong. (One is silver and the other gold...) Let's tackle it head on.
