giving you the best that i got
12/30/2005 = 05:20 PM

I've seen a few people take the first sentence from the first post of each month of 2005, and making it be their year in review.

I tried doing that, but it wasn't comprehensive enough, and missed a few really salient points.

Of course, all the news sources are doing "best of" thingies, none of which I made it into, because I am a teensy amœba in an even teensier pond.

So I'm combining the concepts: making my own "best of" list from stuff culled from my 2005 archives.

Best New Comic Strip Discovered in January 2005:

Dog Eat Doug by Brian Anderson.

Best Wishful Thinking of February 2005:

"How fortunate for some of the people I encounter that mental voodoo, assuming it exists, doesn't work for me. Otherwise, some of them might be walking obliviously round the office and suddenly say, 'Hey, what was that that just shook out of my pants cuffs? ... AAAAUUUGGGH!! MY BALLS!! SHRIVELED UP!! FALLEN OFF!!'"

Best Friends from March 2005:

To be shared amongst all of you, who rallied around me and gave me the strength to pick up the pieces after my friend died so suddenly and so unfairly.

Biggest Waste of Asskissery from April 2005:

My haiku-a-day created for Whateva Sista!, who totally didn't even bother reading them, the ungrateful little shit.

Best If the World Ends Tomorrow I'm Okay With It of May 2005:

A tie between meeting a bunch of D'Land buddies in the Real World, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film.

Best Energy Beverage Fizzy-Lifting Drink of June 2005:

Matches my iPod.

Best Waste of an Entire Day in July 2005:

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling. I didn't move till I'd finished reading. I am Such Her Bitch.

Best Cute Animal Bandwagon that Hello, I Was Already Riding Long Before August 2005:

Penguins. Property of the zoo. Intercourse the penguin. The problem is, I am now a perfectly safe penguin, and my friend is rapidly running out of limbs. They stamp them when they're small.

Best New Snack Discovered in September 2005:

Steak and Worcestershire Sauce-flavored potato chips. Purr.

Best Extraterrestrial Attention-Attracter of October 2005:
