Hey, I'm alive! Hey, guess what time it is?! It's time for...
The Year in Review
January
This was the beginning of not only the year, but of something wonderful... On January 6, 2008, I met in person the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. It was only on a whim that I joined the DnD meetup group and that I happened to recognize a picture of one of the members. It was the same person I had been talking to on OkCupid since December. So I of course asked if he was going to the meetup. He said he was.
He was actually a bit late as he got lost, but when he walked in the door, I really became nervous. Chris smiled and asked if I was Mel from OkCupid and smiled back. Then the DM asked if he could help since it was a big group. So he got to DM my group. And I proceeded to do stupid things during the game. -.- But anyway, we went out to dinner later on and he met my parents and my sisters. Then we just hung out for the rest of the evening until we went back to my house as I was going to be on an anime podcast that night. I asked if he wanted to be on with me. So we watched Howl's Moving Castle together before hand. ...never did watch the end though. ^.^ But yeah, it was really a magical day. We've been together every day since. ...okay, that was really long for just one day in January, but it was a special one. The rest of the month really can't compare. ^^ The other big thing that was unfortunately depressing was the death of Heath Ledger. Not enough sad faces in the world.
February
Another excellent month! Halfway in, I had moved into Chris' apartment. <3 Basically at this point, I was living/breathing all things Chris so there wasn't much to report for this month.
March
In March, I was laid off of my temp job. Blah. However, my temp agency found me another one within a week! Yay! And then Chris found a temp job of his own. Yay!
April
...Haha, just kidding! temp job is gone by mid-April. Mel tells temp agencies they can suck it! However, Chris' job is going well. In fandom news, the trial of thecentury year month begins as RDR books and SVA go against JKR. Because RDR books didn't have anything better to do apparently.
May
Chris and I get sick of the apartments and move in with my parents. Not bad, just cramped in here. The job hunt continues, but not much luck.
June
Stuff and things. Not much to this month really. Job hunting and such, nothing exciting.
July
My birthday! And Chris spends way too much on me! <3 Also, on July 4th, he officially proposes to me. It is also around this time that I finally land a job, yay! At an overly, ultra Christian school... Okay, how bad can it be, right? ^.^ Also we go to see the Dark Knight. OMG WHY DID HEATH DIE?!?!! DDDD: Also, I discover Dr. Horrible. HUZZAH!
August
I start my new job and Chris quits his temp job to go to school full time. I begin to wonder what I was thinking. Bible versions... in their science books. JUST WAT.
September
Work is still WAT. Chris is doing well in classes. We have much fun going to Busch Gardens' Howl o' Scream. I love amusement parks!
October
Huzzah! Halloween time! We spend a month playing scary games from Gamefly. Silent Hill Origins, oh god! Also Chris goes as Steve from Blue's Clues for Halloween. Awesome.
By this time, work was getting better as I got used to it. So it's not so bad.
November
....yeah, the less said on the month the better. However, we did go to Nekocon! Fun was had by all. We even went as Heero and Duo. It was awesome. As soon as we got home, we pre-regged for Magfest.
December
December was so-so. Started off well enough. Chris had a good birthday, even though he was stressed with school work. Took him out to dinner and we just had a nice evening together. Eventually school and work was done for the year as we both have two weeks of break. Unfortunately, a virus ran rampant through the house which everyone got. >.< And during the week of Christmas too. But Christmas came and everyone was okay again. Got good stuff, including a paid for pre-reg from Chris' parents to Katsucon. Yay! Also got Guitar Hero on Tour and the Orange Box from Chris. <3
All in all, it's been a great year. I expect much from 2009. Especially March. ^^
