Re: 2009 was like...
This may be the best poll I have ever seen. Bravo!

Re: 2009 was like...
It was the kind of year where you are attempting to get over being thoroughly rogered the year before, but find yourself being rogered even more. I was torn between "Barack Obama: Virtually indistinguishable from its predecessor" and 'Michael Jackson: It was Bad. Now it's dead', settling on the latter.
What I wanted was "Nancy Pelosi: Ugly and getting worse."
Re: 2009 was like...
It fucking sucked. Hard. It sucked the sweat of a dead donkey's balls.
Fuck 2009. Die, 2009, die.

You shouldn't kill time.

You misread that TIO. it was German for the 2009, the.
Re: 2009 was like...
thanks for the translation, Hugh. or should I say, Sideshow Hugh?
:)
Re: 2009 was like...
Indeed, Hugh, this is a very clever poll!
My year actually was so great it was sickening. I mean, it started with Rachel visiting and ended with "Catchphrase" and in between I got a cat, a diploma, a job, an apartment, a teeny-tiny laptop, a tin Hello Kitty lunchbox, a french press, a purple velvet purse, three Twitterfiction published and one sold for 2010, plus my hot fiancee got a job AND I learned a valuable lesson about acetaminophen poisoning.
I'll try to send some of this goodness to the rest of you for 2010.
Re: 2009 was like...
We who now know who has been hogging all the good luck appreciate that :p
Re: 2009 was like...
I picked the Tiger woods one - I started the year moving into an apartment hier:

... and now I'm in a completely different gated community :).
Re: 2009 was like...
Swine Flu. Just sub meh.
Re: 2009 was like...
For the record, I picked MJ.
However, I expect 2010 to kick 6 1/2 different kinds of ass.
Re: 2009 was like...
My parents' 50th was a major triumph, but other than that, there was very little of 2009 that didn't suck like a bus depot bathroom male prostitute.
Re: 2009 was like...
Wanted to call it an MJ, but it was actually a good year that just got rough at the end.
Can't complain, married Mrs P, hit New Orleans for the 1st time in years and had a good year at work.
Meh, call it mostly upside.
Re: 2009 was like...
I picked Swine Flu because I can't tell the difference between Barack Obama and Micheal Jackson.
Re: 2009 was like...
I picked the colts one. Pretty good year all round. Business is still good. My best friend got married. The gf is still convinced I'm prince charming. Yep. Good year.
Re: 2009 was like...
I said swine flu, but maybe I should have said Colts.
I'm still employed, I'm in a stable loving relationship, I was in my first group exhibition ever, I did still photography for a movie, I traveled to Central America...I went to the dentist and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I feared... There were some very rocky parts, and I'm still not as organized as I'd like, but overall, pretty good.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I had my first photo published in a major US magazine, for money!
Re: 2009 was like...
That sounds like a Colts year to me
I guess I did get a good job at a neat place, and my kids stayed mostly healthy and the refrigerator and the cars didn't die. And my son got some leopard geckos. And I didn't get any cavities.
Okay, I'm good.
Re: 2009 was like...
leopard geckos are cool. I used to have some. I did my high school science fair project on them. now I don't have leopard geckos. not a cause and effect relationship, though.
