2009 In Review

So since the year is up figure it's time to run down a list of what all happened last year...

My last cigarette was 1/4/09. I admittedly had a hard time quitting but I did it. I bought a car, started losing weight like I'd needed to for years, made a list for self improvement. My favorite thing that happened though was that I met somebody. She doesn't care for me being sappy at all, so I will leave it alone after one sentence. Due to meeting her, I can say that in 2009 I started being genuinely happy again. Last night was spent at home with Sara, Fawn, and Az, playing Boom Blox Bash Party and having a quiet night in, and was one of the best New Year's Eves ever for me.

For my list, I have done quite a lot. I lost 60 lbs, learned regular expressions (computer stuff), got set up on a blind date (it was horrible), started to overcome my fears of approaching strangers by buying a complete stranger a drink in a bar, and took Sara to a DMB concert since she hadn't seen them in years. I've learned to use chopsticks, installed Ubuntu on our media box, tried out Chrome (not switching from Opera yet, but shows promise), gotten rid of my Myspace page, tried 20 new beers, 1 new wine, and learned to cook some new recipes, much to the delight of those who eat my cooking.

I need to cross more things off my list in 2010, what gets your vote for being crossed off next? Should it be something serious like writing out my will, something fun like learning to juggle, or something for self improvement, like applying to Mensa? I'm all ears for what to do next.
