upon reading about what other people are planning for 2k9 i started thinking maybe i should come up with some things to do in 2k9 but then decided making plans is so not my scene, so i am better off not thinking about it. maybe a look back would be better? i am thinking "things i have done in the 2k's so far" would be way better than a look back on just 2k8. i will think about this way more than actually compiling a list.
what if my list was just: 2k8 and the perceived accomplishments of people i know? this will probably be a lot more fun than thinking about myself. so lets give it a try:
t-dog: moved to the MD and got super sweet jobs, one of which came with a most excellent, just in time for the holidays, discount shared with one "significant other"
kamperpants: new job in the big city and moving on up.
tracky: had a baby come out of her, bringing the troshy broad up to 3.
shy: stopped biting (not spitting) and swearing at my sister.
moni: potty trained by incentive of train, boat, and bus rides.
sara: moved to asia and teaches asian babies the supreme, superior language.
spusan/ stephaine/ whatever else i called her in 2k8: got her healthy on, but only after getting the shit kicked out of her by some trolley tracks, a bike and a jaw wired shut (what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. right?) also, became a world famous internet meme via icanhaschesseburger.com (maybe this will be more 2k9? we will see.)
Manda: joined the ranks of committed, monogamous, co-habitating, adult relationships.
Joshua Ballard: out drank everyone TWICE in my house!!(while he may not view this as an accomplishment, i prefer thinking about that than baby mama, which i am still confused about.)
melissa pants: got a real life job with a phone an everything!!
adam: allowed me to live vicariously through him since he got to get his MFA and i didn't.
joey: fell in love (i think?)
shannon: hitched herself a ride on the getting married train and doesn't even think about it hardly at all.
timmy: started at the holy grail of colleges.
frank: proved to be the guy you call when you need things.
eric: let me trick him into telling me way more about his personal life than he would have under normal circumstances, multiple times.
marilyn: got laid off on purpose and kept walking even with a broken ass and two sprained feet.
andy: had great hair all year.
conrad: proved to be less of an ass (or maybe he just wears you down after time?)
ginny lou: learned how to text (it really was a christmas miracle) and use power point.
dollar bill: scored his dream job in retirement and got his dream phillies world championship 27 years after his first dream phillies world championship.
mrs. o: made it through another year.
(sorry if you didn't make the list. it isn't because i don't like you, it's just because i couldn't remember what you did this year or i don't want to share your secrets via my little spot on the intra webs.)
oh and i lied, i do have one resolution for the year: no eat 2k9 (fuck ryhming). i'm bringing anorexia back.

i am glad i did not make it to this list ! i can't imagine what you would say !
elizabeth,
i was going to add that you and freddy moved into totally sweet new diggs, but everyone probably would have figured out i was just trying to cover up your real 2k8 news which i didn't think was appropriate for me to out on the internets.
xoxox
I didnt make the list either. But I did nothing. Seriously. Except for maybe going to a million doctors for me and my baby. :(
