Happy New Year!

It's kind of weird how people feel the need to make lists of the best/worse of each year, and make such a big deal about a new shiny year, when really not a whole lot changes. However, I guess it's nice for people to have a clear cut date to start their new goals/plans/procrastination.. or something.

And in case you were wondering (which I'm sure exactly zero of you were), yes, that is a greenpeace calender. We get one in the mail every year and they have pretty pictures, so I like it.


Anyways, 2010 was a good year, and I'll be a little sad to see it go (completely contradicting my above sentiments). There were lots of first and a couple lasts, and I can honestly say I think it was my best year so far (Because, yes, with a solid 18 and a half years behind me, most of which I don't remember, this is such a tough choice).

In no particular order, I graduated high school, moved away from home and started university in Victoria, survived my first term at UVic, went to basketball provincials in Kamloops, experienced the Olympics right here in Vancouver, met my cousins on my dads side, spent the one of the best week on Hornby ever with them, went up to Vernon for my cousins wedding (which, actually, was my first real wedding that I remember... and it was a great one), saw Lady Gaga in concert, met/got to know some really cool people, flew to visit friends in Montreal (for the first time), and managed to wear my grad dress to a Gaga themed party. Those are some highlights, and I'm sure there were more I've momentarily forgotten.

So, yeah, 2010 was a good year. And although 'twenty-eleven' doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nice, here's to another great year: Happy New Year!

Ps. You all remember DJ Earworm's 2009 Billboard Top 25 Mashup (here). He's released the new one! Not as good, but worth a listen, just to say you've heard it. Let's just say that it really shows the, ah, originality of today's top music. To be fair though, it kicked 2007 and 2008's butts.
