Can't remember all of them, but I didn't keep any, and I didn't make any this year.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

My sister Rachael gave birth to a Brody Johnson. I was in Kwajalein.

4. Did anyone close to you die?

A few folks died, and it was pretty sad. None too terribly close, but tragic nonetheless.

5. What countries did you visit?

The Marshall Islands! Crazy place.

6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?

Maybe some home gym equipment. Or enrollment in a higher degree program. I still want more.

7. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

October 5, I'd imagine. My one year anniversary at work!

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Getting rewarded for being awesome at my job.

See that stupid knee injury, above.

My macbook! What a sweet machine. Albeit expensive as all hell.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?

I'm sure there are lots of people I can't think of... but Ms. Libby built a shed, amongst other things. Some kind of woman, as Josh once said. Maybe Aaron also, trying to reinvent himself and all (change for the better! succeed, sir!)

13. Whose behavior made you appalled?

Most of the GOP.

14. Where did most of your money go?

Music, as is the never-ending saga.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?

Exercised, taken out my bike or motorbike much, much more.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?

Libby.

26. What was the best book you read?

Trying to think of this year and not last year's book club. I'll just say American Gods, albeit rated only a 3.5/5.... there was probably something better. Blood Meridian if that was this year.

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?

OooooOOOooOooOoOooooh.... records. I'm a little obsessed. As for a band, Seventh Wonder. They are beyond awesome.

28. What did you want and get?

A kindle! Libby can read minds.

29. What did you want and not get?

MMmmmmm I want so much. A lot of things I really didn't want or need. One thing was personalized license plates. But Libby needs a motorcycle soon.

30. What was your favorite film of this year?

Tough question. Scott Pilgrim vs The World kicked as, though. I watched it twice in two consecutive days... so maybe that one. Runner-ups: Kickass, Jackass 3D, Black Swan.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaazaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Libby. Music. Masturbation.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?

The one with the titties. Or Warren Buffett... he's awesome!

FUCK YOU JOE MILLER. Don't even try and defend him, John.

37. Who did you miss?

All my buddies down in the pacific northwest.

38. Who was the best new person you met?

So... many... maybe Leeann. She's made work a lot more fun. But now she's moved cubies! Sad times.

We're all lucky to be in the positions that we are.
