2009 in Review

[foxgrrl]

The year 2009, I believe that I speak for everyone when I say: What the fuck just happened?! This has been one of the craziest fucked up years ever, what the hell was that all about? I'm glad that's over.


[My metaphysical explanation for 2009 is that it was the year of dealing with all the crap from one's past that one had been putting off dealing with.]

What the fuck just happened?! THIS. THIS THIS THIS.

SUNSPOTS.

Yup! So how do we make 2010 better?

That's been everyone's read I know who is "turned on" has for 2009.

Aren't we glad we ditched all of that so 2010 could be a non stop party of awesome?

Well 2009 was a rotten year, but it was also my year of starting to be the true me.

Mine was a bit chaotic but it was overall not bad. It wasn't superamazingawesome but it wasn't bad.

Mine was akin to Magnolia. There was a lot of dumb. There was a lot of suck. Toward the end the frogs started raining and then it was okay, but Tom Cruise was still an asshole.

Though i initially did think it wasn't exactly the year of dealing with crap from the past (dot com) for me personally, it has been for a lot of folks around me and i did have to deal with a couple of bugbears from the deepest darkest recesses. So that might actually be pretty accurate, come to think of it.

I think that's a really apt assessment of 2009. Unfortunately, in my case, I'm still going to have to continue dealing with some of it in 2010. I wish it would just be done and overwith by now.

2009 was actually a good year for me. I got a better job. The only part of it that sucked was the part where I got laid off and did telemarketing for three weeks, but I was never unemployed. It could have been a lot worse.

My 2009 was good in that Anna didn't get cancer again this year, and I didn't get hit by a car. These were big deals. So thanks, 2009, for not hurting us and being therefore a step up. Let's hope 2010 doesn't even involve reconstruction surgery!

2009 was mostly good, but really sucked at the end for me. I know it also sucked for a lot of my friends. The one good thing I would say about 2009 though is that, unlike the last downturn/crash, I had a job this time. That right there covers a multitude(although certainly not all) sins.

Yeah, I'm with you on the thankfulness for the job. 2009 sucked for me, but it was a boring, soulless suck of unhappiness. Nothing particularly BAD happened, it was just being stuck in a life I didn't want. Hooray for 2010 and cutting free.

I have little to say other than "me too", but then I think the details of the massive upheaval in my life are plenty public for anyone to know already. So...I guess I'll say this, this year has a lot of promise and is asking a lot of me, but I think 2009 has done a good job at making me begin to break from my obsession with both comfort and what "normal people" might think of what I'm doing. It's a thing of coming into my own, of casting off as much as I can of the insecurities that have held me back. I just hope I'm not doing it too late, I've had a lot of rough times recently and I suspect its not getting any easier any time soon (though things do seem to be looking up literally as of NYE/NYD).

2009 actually wasn't all that bad a year for me, but I was unemployed for most of it (on purpose), so I had a lot of time to take in all the craziness. I hope 2010 is much better, and that it doesn't continue to be the year of death it's been so far. Six days into it, and my best mate and two friends' parents have died... this 48-hour rule can stop right now.

Amen to that.
