Not bad all in all. B-

* "Found" Firefly, Browncoats, Reavers, and all the "homely"

gals aboard Serenity.

* Got a big new job - It's busy and uses both my law degree and my previous professional experience. If I can't fly around the 'vers in my own ship, it's a decent alternative until I figure out want I want to do when I grow up!

* Bought a house...Well, another house. I still have my old house that I've been renting for a year now. Hopefully, I'll be selling it soon.

* Lost 26 lbs, but then gained 15 back...I'll call this one a push :D

* Learned how to jog. I actually look like my Crow avatar (without the tattoos) so I've mostly run through things all my life, not to them...Distance never counted for much. Now I can go over a mile without stopping. It's an achievement...I'll take it.

* I bought an iPod and a digital 35mm camera so now I can do 2 of my favorite things digitally: listen to music and take pictures!

* Moved away from my friends and family (for the new job)

* Made many new friends (from the new job)

And although with everything above, I would have called 2005 an A+ year, but I'm only missing one thing...Until it happens, I take a grade off:

* Didn't meet a nice girl to hang out with.

Oh well, there's always 2006...Cheers!

Bring the Big Damn Heroes back!

CASUALTY

In 2005, I...

- Graduated with a 2.2
- Moved to Canterbury, the town I have fallen in love with.
- Found out that not all the people in the world are nice ones.
-Realised your friends can get you through just about anything.
-Met a large proportion of Team Random. What a great bunch of awesome people.
- Been to a convention. What a great bunch of awesome people!
- Met Jewel Staite and decided that if I had to be anyone other than me I would want to be her. She is such a nice, down to earth person.
- Had Nathan Fillion sing me a song.
- Moved house 3 times.
- Seen Serenity which was only topped by the outtakes.
- Had a puncture going at 80 mph down the M25. Very scary!
- Found a job, but not a permanent one.
- Realised that even if 2005 wasn't all I hoped it would be it was probably my fault and that there is 2006 to look forward to!

Happy New Year!

*Found Someone who later dumped me

*Made a new friend who loves Jayne as much as I do.

*The year of Serenity-enough said

Basically, my year was blissful before it became hell though right now I'm thankfully in remission.

EMBERS

interesting idea for a thread...in 2005

Jan I went to LA and saw Tom (Andrew on Buffy) Lenk's one man show on the same night Joss Whedon, Alyson Hannigan, Alexis Denison, and Jane Espenson were all there (!)
Went to Hawaii to see dear friends I hadn't seen in a long time, and I saw whales for the first time.

I saw two Advanced Screenings of the BDM in Chicago, and the second one had a special suprise guest: Summer Glau (who is the sweetest thing)

I drove out East this Summer to visit friends, attend a family reunion, and visit a lot of places I used to live long ago.

In July a dear friend's husband died

In October I learn that one of the friends I visited in Hawaii had cancer, and by Nov 4th she had died.

But throughout the holiday season (Thanksgiving through now) I got to visit friends and family, so that I feel very lucky and blessed.

It has been a weird year, I'm hoping 2006 is better....

...saw the BDM
...found out about this wonderful, cancelled tv show called firefly
...quit smoking
...started smoking
...was able to decorate for the holidays w/o losing my mind, for the 1st time in 2 years
...quit smoking again
...started back up
...quit smoking again
...started running miles and miles and miles a day in earnest for the first time in 2 years
...finally embraced the scifi geek that has been trying to assert herself since college. i love her now and i'm proud of her

man, that's a really boring year. i like it that way; i've had some horribly eventful years recently.

-the end-
oh yeah, and jayne is superhot.

SAMEERTIA

2005 was like...
It was like having something hot and hard and sharp dug into my heart, breaking me down completely, and then suddenly having it removed and becoming whole and complete and alive again.

I have passed through the fire, and I am all right.

Do I remember it as a bad year? No, even though it hurt like hell. I don't remember it as a good year, either. But it was, in some ways, the greatest year ever. I'll not forget it.
