I am sure I have missed out loads, wow the year has gone quick! I totally can’t keep up with it and I have a terrible memory! Maybe I’ll add some more stuff to the list as I remember but this will do for now.

What have you done this year?

Ashley did a post yesterday that I enjoyed so I thought I’d do one myself.

Rick’s blog has been updated twice in quick succession, and I am happy. You know, I think you have become more sociable. The fact you actually want to spend more time with a girl says it all. Major Ashley kudos, ‘cos being sociable can — if done with the right people — be kinda fun :p It would be weird knowing you if you didn’t do photography, so I’m happy you took that up (and helped me!), but I am angry at your knee for being dislocated again! Rarr!

Rick! List making is awesome. I can’t believe how much you’ve done with your photography in the space of a year – it’s inspiring (not in a really “ohmygodyou’reinspirationalman” gay way, but in an honest way). Keep up the good work!

And congrats on the pay rise/hot piece of ass
:D
