Year in first sentences
Dec. 27th, 2011 01:12 pmGanked from Silmaril and Michi.
January: "2010 in review: 40 questions" [well, THAT could get recursive]
February: "My tram stop is right next to this shop." [Sadly, the aforementioned cake shop is closing for a while and then moving.]
March: "For those of you who've friended me on Flickr lately - the reason I haven't friended you back is because I've forgotten the password and can't answer the alternative security questions, etc etc." [Have since established a new account.]
April: "Given all the fuss about cost-cutting in the UK just now, I'm a little surprised that the BBC is emailing me to give away half a million quid." [Hooray spammers!]
May: "Note to self: when preparing a slide presentation that involves discussion of the category of people who are Not In Labour Force, check for typos in one's acronym."
June: "Jack Kevorkian has died at 83. "
July: "Via Harliquinn, more holiday snaps up here: Kakadu, Arnhem Land, Nourlangie Rock, Uluru, Kata Tjuta, King's Canyon."
August: "Because I'm home with a cold, an actual content post." [About the Census.]
September: [filtered post grumbling about some work-related irritation.]
October: "FB: Remember how we blocked all those photos of breastfeeding because they might be offensive?"
November: "Decided that with the time I spend painting Warhammer 40K figures, I might as well learn to play the game some time, so I headed down to the local Games Workshop after work."
December: "I have learned how to recognise the feel of a leech on my skin in time to remove it BEFORE it bites."
...all in all, a pretty representative summary of my year. I didn't post much on LJ/DW this last year; some of my content has shifted to Twitter, but also it's been a relatively peaceful year (after a couple of years of house-hunting, moving, and assorted other dramas, this is a Good Thing). Maybe the biggest drama this year was the arrival of Basil - he's a sweet dog but still has some issues, possibly related to neglect/abuse by previous owners, and he's still settling in.
Highlights of the year were Harliquinn's visit (including a lovely holiday in NT/Qld) and becoming an Evil Uncle x2. Special mention to conventional medicine, which probably saved a friend's life a couple of weeks back..
