Have become bored and restless in my job. Realised it's going nowhere, but currently don't know how i'm going to get out or what i'm going to do next.
On a brighter side, I found love. Experienced the falling... the giddiness... wrote some good songs about it. Am currently very happily in love
Some bad, some good, overall an alright year, I 'spose.

- Quit a big daily marijuana habit only to immediately replace it with daily drinking and frequent abuse of opiates and benzo's.
- Left one dead end job, spent 7 or so months unemployed to get another slightly better dead end job.
- Broke my dry spell with women/sex/dating.
- Got my first car and my license.
- Stopped speaking to most of my old drug using friends, which kinda sucks as it doesn't leave me with many.
- Had a very ill family member move in for a while before abruptly leaving for the UK in pretty shitty circumstances.
- Realised in over 2 years since I finished high school literally the only thing I can say I have achieved is getting my license.
Overall it was a fairly uneventful year for me. Reading over that list it sounds like a more negative than positive year, but compared to some previous ones I would say it isn't half bad. Bring on 2010, I am really hoping I get some drive in me to move forward in my life and find a career.

I had a girlfriend for the 1st time in 6 years.
Got dumped 9 months later by said girlfriend, was my longest ever relationship
I did my boss's job for 6 months while he was away on long service leave. Learned a shit load and it was great experience, did wonders for my confidence once I got the hang of it.
A shit load of good friends moved away, to the put where I'm starting to run out and am working on finding new ones.
Went back to university for one semester and quite enjoyed it so am srsly considering some postgrad study next year.
Having said that, am hoping to land a job at AIMS early next year which would eliminate any chance of doing any postgrad study.
Over all I had a great year but still wish my gf hadn't given me the arse![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")

Started with the best summer of my life.
Best summer of my life ended with the worst breakup of my life. Ain't that the fuckin' breaks.
Did a Rotary leadership course. Learnt to deal with people a bit better.
Started my quarter life crisis, which seems to be intermittent.
Went skiing for a week. It was grand.
Walked 100km in 30 hours and raised a shitload of money for Oxfam.
Acquired nearly half a million dollars in assets and now have no money.
Woohoo.

AIMS is the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
I'm a little ol' aquaculture technician, who will hopefully be jumping up to management before too long
Ohh cool...............I saw a documentary about your profession once.....it showed how you save whales that have swallowed golf balls.
lol.
Nah seriously...........I would never have picked that...I thought maybe Australian institute of music or maths or somink.
So is it mostly work with fish or plants or corals or all of the above.....ewww that would or should be an interesting job.

Wow, Unsq - sounds like it truly was an epic year for you, in so many ways. Glad you're still here and sounding positive. You're going to shine brighter than ever.
Looking forward to catching up with you again one of these days.

Hmmm let's see now....2009...
It was a year of nothing for me. No courses completed, no job changes, no engagement or babies (*taps foot impatiently*), no new tattoos or piercings, no real achievments really.....
A few things of note:
That pretty much covers everything...
2010 will see me going back to uni, a much-needed job change, hopefully getting engaged at some point, and trying for a baby towards the end of the year. Good times

A few things of note:
- nearly ruined my relationship, would've been the absolute WORST decision of my life if I had...I eventually got my shit together though and now we're better than ever
- my sister (finally!) got married to her partner of 11 years (and I sang at their wedding!
) - my other sister and her fiancee had their first baby
- my 2 best friends got engaged, to each other :D
- I obtained an OPI nail polish addiction
- continued my battle with alcohol addiction (I think I'm finally getting a grip on it though...?)
- stopped taking ecstacy and took wayyyyy too much LSD for one year...too much fun
- became a BL moderator....then became a senior mod
- 2009 saw me finally meeting some BLers!! I met Impacto Profundo, astrosmurf, ActiveA, UnSquare, Raz, doofqueen, all very cool cats %) I hope to meet many more in 2010!
- enrolled to study Psychology at uni next year

I got back together with my boyfriend after being apart for three months, and things are still quite good.
Applied to go back to uni and finish the last year of my Biomedical Sciences degree. I haven't found out yet if I've gotten in but the uni peeps said it shouldn't be a problem.
Not sure what else, I'll edit if I think of something.
