2009, in 13 answers
What was your biggest achievement of the year? * getting over (or rather, fighting through) my tenderfoot-ed-ness around issues of relationships, friendly and not. i was so concerned about hurting others' feelings that i obliterated my own. at last, i worked up the courage to call spades "spades", and found myself looking at someone i held in certain golden light to be a little tarnished, someone who never was going to go further prove me right, and someone who was always in need of a dose of maturity surprise me with wisdom. What was your biggest failure? * learning to untrust. once you have that teeny tiny bit of niggling doubt, it never, ever goes away. What's something you learned about yourself? * people look to me for a lot of things. they think i'm capable. i actually match their expectations sometimes! What's one thing you thought you'd never do but did in 2009? * be questioned for murder!! Resolutions, kept and new? oh 2009, what did i get myself in to? * vagina monologues? check! breast cancer 3-day? check! locks of love? ...? uncheck. turns out my hair wasn't quite long enough (not sure how that happened), so i made the decision to let my resolution go unfulfilled as i postpone the great shearing of locks from my head. as for the commitment to relationships and honesty, for better or worse, CHECK! What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009? * a bigger paycheck. seriously, i lost 18%(!!) of my salary over a few short months. Whose behavior merited celebration? * my silvi is the biggest trooper ever. her new husband knocked her up and took off to afghanistan, leaving her sick to the tummy and with sole possession of the remote control. i heart my hunnybunches. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? * the voters of california get 2 GINORMOUS thumbs down from me. not only did they vote to ban gay marriage the previous november, but they also voted down the funds that could have stopped the bleeding of the education system, resulting in staff layoffs and salary cut furloughs. What do you wish you’d done more of? * advocated for education, and hang with the new mrs. yue. What do you wish you’d done less of? * stressed out about money and jobs (though inextricably linked, i stressed out about each independently). What kept you sane? * the A-Z pub crawl was an excellent diversion, love notes from the cheesey mr. powers, and fro-yo all top the list! What drove you insane? * instability at work... sadly, this is the exact same answer i gave last year! i had no less than 3 different job titles this year. thankfully, i think i may have hit a stickier spot now... but one really knows 'round here. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: When You Feel That Heatcurrent mood:  have a happy, healthy 2010!
