2009: A Summary

So, it appears another year has come and gone and I've been trying to figure out where on the bell curve it falls. I can only seem to remember the bad things but that may be because November took a nosedive. So I thought I'd summarise...

Bad stuff:

• I was almost made redundant
• The year started badly
• I still spend far too much time on my own
• I am struggling more than ever
• I am still way too unhappy most of the time
• I don't appreciate my life

Good stuff:

• I went to see Jodi Picoult on her book tour and met her (and had a fantastic evening with my oldest friend).
• I saw Tim Minchin's "Ready for this?" and met him. Fabulous night and lovely guy.
• I went to Sweden and Denmark.
• I got promoted instead of redundant.
• I discovered the wonderful world of Twitter and met loads of likeminded people.
• I signed up for a writing class and have started writing.
• I discovered Skeptics, new comedians and new ideas.
• I am the proud new owner of an iPhone.
• I've had some great family get togethers.
• I got another tattoo.
• Lots of far worse things could have happened.

I'm sure I can and will add to this. On paper my year could have been worse. Roll on 2010!!!
