I guess one of the two major hangovers I had this year. One of them lasted for two days, so I suppose it'll have to be that one.

"learned anything" doesn't quite describe it. I think I have become a completely different person than from who I was at the start of the year. I guess a good example of that is one of my better friends here on the TMF, who told me that he thought I was just an "annoying little twerp" when I first delurked. lol, and for the record I appreciate the honesty in actually telling me that. XD

7.) Do you plan on accomplishing something new in 2010? If so, what is it?

Coming home from working all night beat as hell, knowing that I was about to be back home and crash in the dark and "spaceship-like" comfort of my home, and then wake up later and just relax and game all night while the blizzards poured in and barricaded me inside.

Another one, was a show we played that had a really lame turnout. So we went completely ape-shit and got yelled at by the club management -- our guitarists just started using wireless systems, so they hopped off the stage, and were climbing up guard rails, and running all over the venue we were playing.
