a brief history of 2006

It's been kind of a weird year. This is quick and dirty rundown of it¹ .

celebrated 2 years with the wifest
March:
bought my first car, ever.
April:
quit smoking, under protest
became addicted to wordpress geekery
went to the dentist for the first time since high school.
May:
became an award winning designer
lost a cat
had fun in san francisco, since chicago wasn't any.
well, except for meeting a strange man in daley plaza
started mission101
June:
Moved into the best apartment i've had yet.
Started smoking again
July:
Had some friends over, and took them to canada
August:
took a tour of chicago
lost my job
which kinda erased the possibility of having a decent anniversary
September:
found a better one
October:
Had our first party in the new apartment
November:
the new job made me really like architecture again
December:
weirded out my entire family

Wow, it's like the whole year is a footnote to may. I also saw a bunch of shows, including: stars, deftones, dog fashion disco, the dresden dolls, cut chemist, and in flames.

I think overall it was more good than bad, by a nose. Until i read the wifest's list, i'd almost completely ~~blocked out~~ forgotten the bad stuff.
