End of the year meme thing!
Go to your journal archives and post the first sentence of the first post of that month! See where 2009 has taken you!
January: i played a game of 80's Trivial Pursuit that lasted a year.
February: (there was nothing in februrary 2009 that was worth my time apparently)
March: lords i hope i don't start that meme addiction again (this was the 19th and this was the lj-cut for memes)
April: so, this is a little late, but i would like to state how FREAKIN HAPPY i am that the Sham Wow guy got arrested.
May: 6 years since the accident, and i don't even want to speak to him
June: (again, nothing. geez)
July: Lauren is squeeing in her pants (technically, the journal entry title.)
August: rented Race to Witch Mountain, and it wasn't too bad. i even watched it a second time.
September: (nothing. i was busy and sick)
October: so, it's been really hard to have time/energy to update, and a lot has happened.
November: so, i keep thinking of stuff that i want to re-read, or look at, or do (like print pictures), and then i remember that my harddrive is incapacitated and i have nothing from the past six years.
December: This time last year I was in Rhode Island and I had just finished watching Charlie marry Marissa.
so, in review, this year was a bad year. i am fucking glad 2009 is ending. i hope it burns in hell, except for the parts with my nephew + and Star Trek.
and i'm bleeding vaginally again. figures this year would end with my blood on it.
EDIT: i just counted, and this year i had a total of 25 posts. last year was 37.
Current mood:  glad that it is over Current music: John Barrowman, BNL, Steppenwolf, and whatever else is on my youtube playlist

"A dualist acknowledges a fundamental distinction between matter and mind. A monist, by contrast, believes that mind is a manifestation of matter - material in a brain or perhaps a computer - and cannot exist apart from matter. A dualist believes the mind is some kind of disembodied spirit that inhabits the body and therefore conceivably could leave the body and exist somewhere else. Dualists readily interpret mental illness as 'possession by devils,' those devils being spirits whose residence in the body is temporary, such that they might be 'cast out.' Dualists personify inanimate physical objects at the slightest opportunity, seeing spirits and demons even in waterfalls and clouds."

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
And remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull & ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain & bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing future of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment
it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.
Beyond wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees & the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labours & aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
