luckykaaTry to do one of these each year. It's nice to keep track
1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Gave blood.
Also went to Australia. The holiday was pretty much the highlight of the year.
2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Yes, but not in January. New Years resolutions should be kept for spring.

No.

My own home. Also love but I always want that.
7. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
None in particular. Mainly because I don't remember many actual dates. I will remember the whole parents house flood saga

Fixing a memory leak at work:) Well, it gave me considerable satisfaction. Was actually quite pleased to do the rapid replanning of birthday when weather wasn't quite right.

A holiday.

Any of the Lib Dems who voted against tuition fees increases.
13. Whose behaviour appalled you?
Any of the Lib Dems who voted for tuition fees increases. The Tories I'll let off becuase that's what they do.
14. Where did most of your money go?
On that holiday.
Actually most of it went on rent but that's the case every year and would be really boring.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Guess what...Australia!

Seeing friends. Writing.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Internet.
20. How will you be spending Christmas and/or New Year's?
Catgirl and space pirate party for New Year. At parents' friends place for Christmas.
Number 21 is, alas, no longer with us...

Wouldn't call it love. Certainly fell for Emma.

A new phone, dammit!

Really I've been a little stressed all this year. Think I should have done Serenity but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to cope. Certainly didn't have the cocky self-confidence that I managed in 2009. Contracting seems to have stabilised though.
So wish I could have seen the Bristolians a little more.
I am really really pleased I went on that holiday. Worth every penny.
