1) I now own a house for the first time and can put pictures up anywhere I please :D

2) I've got a gorgeous rescue cat from the RSPCA, Rowan Catkinson, who's helping me type this (well, when I say help I mean looking cute and innocent and then ruthlessly ambushing my hands)

3) I've got a beautiful new nephew-in-law, Rasmus

4) I've taught myself Swedish to a conversational level (still need quite a lot of work though)

5) I joined Wrong Planet :D

1. I saw Alice in Wonderland with my mom when it came to theaters on March 5th, and it became my primary special interest.
2. I made a lot of friends, both online and in real life.
3. I learned how to play Sudoku.
4. I overcame my fear of the dentist.
5. I got my wisdom teeth taken out, and it wasn't a big deal at all.
6. A lot of good dance music came out this year.
7. I discovered Doctor Who, and it became a main special interest next to Alice in Wonderland.
8. My mom says that my emotional age went from being 11 or 12 to 14 or 15.
9. I became much less cynical than I was when I was a teenager.
10. I had the best birthday I could ever ask for. Full stop. :D

I'm suffering less. My concentration is better. I'm generally experiencing more happiness. I found some proper friends. I fell in love. I discovered the meaning of life. I turned lead into gold.

1. finally saw a 1969 Hurst Oldsmobile. Waited years and searched long and hard. Finally!
2. went on a cruise. it was a themed cruise, so others on board with similar interests, so it was actually fun. having a schedule helped.
3. got a new cat. She's sweet and fits in nicely with other cats in house.
4. got engaged. his idea, but I accepted.
5. got a laptop computer.

1. I attended Supanova, Manifest and Armageddon 2010 (Supanova and Armageddon are pop culture conventions, Manifest is an anime convention) had great fun at each.
2. I finally bought a Melbourne Tigers membership.
3. I am beginning to take better care of myself (a slow process but progress has been made).


that is all I can think of right now.

1. I'm still in love but it is unrequited. The good news is, I have more chance than I did last year. I'm still pathetic but I have a chance! Gotta look at the bright side, right? Haha.
2. Uhhh... Hmm... Yeah that's about it.

0: The "best" thing I experienced was all untrue, so I won't mention that.

1: A very important, very personal thread of mine, on another forum, had recently been requested by another member to be stopped, since she found it to be too controversial. It wasn't stopped. That was very positive.

2: I've managed to get a lot of free things, this year, from a few companies, just by being a bit clever. Then again, I was or am a customer with them, too, so they needn't complain that much.

3: I bought a robot that vacuums my apartment. It was expensive, but I like it a lot - it vacuums well, and it's fun to watch it work. I just hope it won't end up breaking. :/

4: I've taken several photos that are good enough to give me the chance to win some seriously good prizes, whenever I join some competition.

5: I'm pretty glad I found this forum.

6: A few reasonably good things that I don't want to mention, in order to not reveal my identity to some people who may end up reading my posts.

...I can't come up with anything else worth mentioning.
