I'm not big on resolutions, so here's a list of the some of the stuff that Happened this year- all of which is Important (at least at this writing), none of which was resolved.

• 38,500 Quake III frags since the early summer. 43,700 if you count my home machine. Go me.
• I'm Still Not Smoking (I started Not Smoking in August)
• 76 pages of ATC
• Relinquished drivers license (expired 1999) for state ID
• Started a bank account, got direct deposit. Money is piling up.
• Upgraded home machine from beige G3 to G4 dual 450- the only computer to pass through my hands this year. 2005 should see another upgrade.
• Nicotine free, I've started building my library again.
• Hung out with Xeno for the first time in a few years- a few days split between Clinton and Allegheny counties at an obscene monetary burn rate, with lots of booze, poop jokes, and so forth.
• Turned 25. Officially pushing 30. Summed up The Story Thus Far with Memory Lane (still haven't responded to Kyle's email- sorry about that, man!), which is an extremely abbreviated history of Everything that leaves out all of the badevil things and most of the good stuff as well. It is, however, fairly detailed.
• Hung out with Bryan for the first time in a few years- five days on another planet.
• Fulltime at work (effective September, give or take)- slight raise, paid vacation.
• Discovered the wonders of Amazon.com (books!)
• Discovered the wonders of buying stuff elsewhere online (keyboard)
• Discovered the wonders of the discman (particularly useful at the laundromat)
• Moved away from jeans (to dark blue/gray camo Battle Pants)
• Broadband.
• Saw Skinny Puppy in Philly (the only show I bothered with this year)
• Pumpcon (my first con EVAR!)
• Registered to vote.
• Stopped lugging around the powerbook. One battery died, then the power brick that can charge the machine died, then 1g USB pen drives hit the same price (after rebate) as a fourth power yo-yo, and that, as they say, is that.
• Biochemical issues continue to become more pronounced.
• Drew less pr0n this year than at any point in the past eight years. Less sketching, anyway- there's 23 pieces of pr0ncg in the 2004 directory.
• Record low number of ATC and mercury site revisions- two each.
