Thanks, Liese!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on."
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Well, 2008 is closing out with me fucking up both my feet (beyond their normal level of recurrent fuck-up-ed-ness). My usual problem ankle is probably just suffering from a bad turn, but my other foot I'm beginning to worry is broken (when I originally thought I'd just twisted my ankle). So 2008 can kiss my ass.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Maybe someone should announce this puppy.
ETA: What the heck, I'll do it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'll write up a post later summarizing 2008, and I'm sure I will find the year a wash, on balance. However, right now? I'd like to kick 2008 in the nads. Repeatedly.
