badstar1. Was 2008 a good year for you?
Overall, yes, though there were some spectacularly sucktastic elements to it.
2. What was your favorite moment of the year?
See the next question...and then fast forward to the next day when Gavin conceeded her feelings to me.
3. What was your least favorite moment of the year?
One Tuesday night in late April, Gavin and I got into an argument. The only way to end it was to tell her how I felt. it was bad enough when I was typing it (I was at work, she was at home)- I deleted and retyped it fifty times- but then I finally hit "enter"...that was the worst. I actually hid under my desk waiting for her to respond...and it took a long time. That waiting for a response was one of the most torturous moments of my life.
Discovering my allergy to fluoricine the hard way ranked up there with the sucktastic moments too. And the actual moving into the new apartment, that day just..uhg, I don't want to think about it.

6. What date in 2008 will remain etched in your memory?

July 19th- the day we moved into the new apartment
7. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

8. What was your biggest failure?
not figuring out where I stand in regards to ADF (please don't lecture me about how this is not a failure. I don't care how you define it, for me it is to a certain degree.)

c) Richer or poorer? richer- a little bit monetarily, but a lot more in other, better ways.
