This one's actually not fair. If you think back to fourth grade, when you got excited because you only had four math questions to do for homework, but then opened the textbook to see that each question was broken up into eight parts, that is what this entry is like.

( WE GOT FRIENDS UP IN HERE )

( My viking dad! )
HEY 2009, I THINK YOUR RESOLUTION SHOULD BE TO SUCK LESS THAN 2008.

Happy New Year, guys! I hope you all have a safe one.

We interrupt this stream of gratefulness to bring you a meme, stolen by sonofwolf.

Did you enjoy this year?
This year fucking sucked.

( And so on and so forth. )

WHAT NO I DIDN'T FORGET TO UPDATE THIS OR ANYTHING LOZL

The fourth thing that I am grateful for?

BIG UGLY SWEATERS.

My dad gave me a sweater of his a couple years ago because it didn't fit him. It is the most godawful repulsive-looking thing on the planet. It's the color of snot when you inhale a lot of dust. It has moose on it. It is like a tent on me. I love it.

Big, ugly sweaters are nature's catchall whenever someone's schlepping about the house. It's cold! Where's the sweater? The cat puked on my shirt and I have to wash it. I need the sweater! I don't feel like putting on pants today. Gimme the goddamned sweater, it's long enough to cover my ass. I'm sure it'll stay with me to grad school, and whoever comes over my place will laugh at me for it.

In not-ugly-clothes news, I started walking/jogging again today. Yay! Stop yelling at me, hip joints, I'm doing this for you.

In light of the holiday season, for the next eight days I'm going to do one picture post per day of things that make me happy, or things I'm grateful for. It'll end next Saturday with an event I'm anticipating like a constipated guy anticipates a shit. And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

So, number eight.

( Bubble Tea! )

( A bunch of things about me you probably could live without knowing. )

Anthropology test tomorrow! No, I did not study.

HOORAY FOR GOOD LIFE DECISIONS

In case you had some kind of burning need to know what my life was like, I handily took this meme from modernviolinist.

( From larva to butterfly that's just emerged from the cocoon and is coughing up phlegm and stuff ew that's really gross. )

A few nights ago I had a dream that this absolutely horrid art teacher I had in high school turned into an even nastier version of Hands for Feet (she looked like a burn victim) in an antique shop, and I killed her by throwing her into a gay mirror. Seriously. It was a gay mirror. There were rainbows and shit coming out of it. And then my smoking hot girlfriend and I decided to walk around NYC because that's where the antique shop was.

And I won't be able to see Batman with dad tomorrow because I have orientation for college. I'm really glad I managed to wriggle into this session instead of the August 22nd one, because this gives me a larger window that the original three-day one to go shopping and get books and whatall, but at the same time... IT'S BATMAAAAN WITH DAAAAAD.

So, uh, anyway. Snagged this from frozenlullabye

QUESTION MEME:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

(You can expect my questions to be mostly silly, with one or maybe two srs bsnss ones tossed in there.)

( So here are her questions to me and my answers. )

( And another one. The Draw Yourself as a Teenager meme, which I decided to embarrass myself by doing. )

So between that friending meme on the TF: Animated community and the fact that my BFF got a livejournal, my friend list has nearly doubled in size. So I guess this calls for a formal introduction of sorts and or something. So I guess I'll fill out that meme I got tagged to do like two months ago.

( Now, let's visualize! )

AND NOW IT'S HISTORY LESSON TIEM:
