a) I woke up 
b) my doctors didn't remove what they said they were going to remove! 
Then... hearing that the biopsies were all negative! 
Later this year... freeing myself from a certain panda-like creature who preys on women using charm and wit  For the first part, I'm very happy for you.... 
for the panda part, perhaps you meant... 
maybe?

Imago said: This has been an amazing year for me. AMAZING.
When I first started this year, I was planning on being single, free, and carefree the entire year. Sure I've slept with my fair share of org women: sweet serious Dancewme Applekisses Statuesque brownsugar Monigram Jess protoge evenstar3 Tame Mushanga DevotedPuppy to just name a few. NOTE: We all vowed not to reveal this fact, so you'll probably receive spirited denials from all of these women--even hostile rebuttals, but one can't stop the love we once shared if only for a fleeting moment. Just know that when they are slandering my name and denying that anything ever happened between us, that it was part of our agreement to deny, deny, deny. So, yeah, the year was going to be a single man's paradise for me. But then Carriempls and I decided to rev up our relationship, and we are now married. The wedding was in secret, just the way she wanted, and in keeping with her style when hosting org invasions of late. She brought her unique sense of style to the wedding (as you can see below). 
Unfortunately, due to the job market and the fact that I just couldn't get along with her cat, we are current estranged, but I'm sure things will pick up for the both of us. Apparently, Carrie insists that her suitors are nice to that cat of hers.

- ending my relationship sometimes it's a good thing. i learned about myself when i broke up with my ex of 5 years last year. it'll be tough but you'll be a better man for it.
I've gotten to the point where I miss him, but I DO NOT want to go back to that bullshit
I'm getting myself back  | |

Turning 18. I didn't really do anything special, but I feel more like my own person now, and that can't be too bad, even though I don't know why it took turning 18 to change that. Voting. 
Seeing family members and friends I hadn't seen in a couple of years. I couldn't choose one.  | |

Aw. This is a fun thread to read. 
2008 was not the finest year of my life. I'm in the midst of a self-repair project, and it's not all that much fun. But there were still some amazing highlights: - Mayercraft with Supa. Great music, with one of my most favoritest people. Deeeeeply, eternally grateful for the experience. Richard:
- President Obama! I thought my heart would explode with joy that night. Screaming, crying, partying in the streets for hours, hugging strangers. . . being sprayed with champagne by Dan Savage. . .it was magical. 
- Prop H8/marriage equality march. Sorry it was necessary, but damn, marching through my beautiful city with 10,000+ beautiful people, reading the funny signs, seeing all of the straight people turn out to march and cheer us on. . . it was really quite lovely. - Kayaking by myself in the San Juans. Seeing porpoises, and purple starfish. Singing to myself out on the water. Not speaking to another human being for days. Pushing myself, and coming fairly close to dying, twice (1. Washington State Ferry, 2. Bear). It was good.
- Finally applying to medical school (hopefully next year's highlight will be STARTING med school ).
- Telling somebody who really deserves it that I love him, and finding out that he feels the same way. That actually happened today. 
My friends and family all survived another year, I'm still managing to feed and house myself, I'm basically on-track. . . my soul still feels ragged, but, overall, I can't complain. [Edited 12/7/08 20:43pm] "What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

Oh, and anticipatory highlight:
My best friend is flying me down to San Francisco to visit him next week. I'm super excited about it.  "What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

This year has been so so  finally ripped up the old bathroom and painted the house, which wasn't so great whilst it was being done  but is nice now.
Getting to know our Moppy is nice too. | |

I've had many great moments this year, too. Strange to be able to have them, with the way things in the world are today. My best moment has been the moment I had a revelation about the difference between free trade and free speech, which I was able to do only through my studies. I knew on some level that these were different, but the revelation is that they are NOT inter-related. Civil liberties can happen regardless of how much money our government has. It's a long story, and I'll have to write it out some time, but that's my best moment of 2008, because of what it sparked in my mind - this was the beginning of my own personal revolution. | |

My best moment of this year was when I talked to someone on the phone who I hadn't expected to talk to ever again. Although it was also one of the most hurtful moments of my life at the same time.

My second week in Berlin. I loved it. I didn't want it to end. I had a beautiful time. My time in Copenhagen early September was among the best moments too. Actually the whole month and a half I was in Europe. I didn't want it to end.

Well for me it was this past summer when I fought the Joker. Weird thing was that there were cameras everywhere filming it  |

I liked it the most out of all the cities I travelled to while I was in Europe. I liked Berlin so much that I stayed an extra week and left Amsterdam early just to GO BACK.  | |
