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.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

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.

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.

So. Very. Over. 2008.
And whoever anonymously sent me a Star Trek Pez collector's set, thank you. You are awesome, and you made my day when it showed up.
I know I said thanks in Beep Me, but I wanted to say it again here. It is still making me smile.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Goodbye to the crappy commute I endured through July.
Goodbye to not dating. (cross yer fingers)
Goodbye to my crazy sister. I hope we can meet on the road to sanity in 2009.

Hey. New board.
Oh wow. It's been a year for sure. I'm going to have to marinate on this for a while. I think it's been a good year, but it's had its moments.

On the whole 2008 was nice to me, except for the lack of a job at the end of it -- but there's a lot of THAT going around, so I'm not taking it personally (yet).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Theo, I enjoyed hearing your updates from the exciting world of computer generated imagery. You seemed to be enjoying yourself so much.
I wish everybody's offloading from employment was equally delightful and educational.
