End of the Year Meme

End of the Year Meme. Write the first sentence, from the first post, of every month. As seen at [livejournal.com profile] fionagh's and [livejournal.com profile] ruruoni_ben's. I used public entries only, not locked ones. Where the first sentence was a Friday Five question, I included the sentence after it. Where there were no sentences (where the entry was just an image) I skipped to the first entry that had text. Because I detest the Rich Text Editor, linkage fell off when I copied-and-pasted; no great loss.


January
Happy birthday, thirdstreet!

February
No entries.

March
Yeah, I kinda gafiated for a while there.

April
1. When is the last time you were broke? Dead broke, with nowhere to stay and no one to call, walking past houses with a warm yellow glow in their windows, out of the populated area until there were fields on all sides and I could pick my way between cow patties to find a spot by a hedge to curl up in my rain poncho and sleep for a while...about twenty years ago in another country.

May
I was this close to pulling the trigger on a Dell Inspiron 710m I have in an online shopping cart when I stopped at Circuit City to pick something up and decided to try out the keyboards on whatever ultralight notebooks they had there.

June
Irrepressible

July
For hours, late yesterday, there was a fairly agitated mockingbird hanging around outside.

August
Missed Readercon in early July to help some friends get a truck and pack it for a big move, and was very sad to see them go, but they made it safely and successfully cross-country and much relief was had by all.

September
Usually I clear the spambox every week or two, but I didn't get a chance this last month.

October
I've been cramming Italian in preparation for going to Tuscany, Florence, and Venice, and yesterday I had the coolest experience: I listened to an aria I downloaded (so my monthly emusic allotment wouldn't go to waste) and understood fifty percent of what I was hearing.

November
With the exception of a few disappointments, the news this morning is very, very good.

December
Today is World AIDS Day--the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first reported AIDS case--and the Human Rights Campaign has released its third annual report card.




Well. That was phenomenally boring. Sorry, guys.
