I thought I'd look at my journal for the past year and see if there was anything I thought would be worth highlighting for a year in review post, and right in the first entry for the year was this quote, which I still think is fucking hillarious - I literally do quote this at work and at home fairly often:
"I make too much money to be inconvenienced like this!"
What a fucking a**hole that guy was. In that sort of way that made him stereotypically stand for all the a**holes out there.
But looking through my journal entries just reminds me of one thing yet again - a year is not such a long time. Those entries don't feel old to me. I could practically be saying "remember last week?"
I'm reminded that I still haven't compiled the comprehensive list of things to do/not do when you're in airport security. I think of random things every now and then, but can't remember if I've already said them. Although, there's one which can't bear enough repeating:
Random tip for dealing with airport security:
*)Assume we will look into your checked baggage. We don't look into every bag, but you save yourself time and grief if you assume that we will look at yours. (Basically if you pack shoes or toothpaste or jelly or syrup or hairgel the machine often tells us to look at it, so no bag can be packed such that it's sure that it won't be checked.)
Holding that firmly in mind, remember these things when you're packing:
A)Don't stuff your suitcase too full. You always run a risk of breaking the zippers or clasps, but you also have a strong chance that we'll accidently damage something when we're stuffing it all back in.
B)If you're going to feel bothered by us seeing your sex toys, don't pack them.
I'm also reminded, that I still haven't continued on my project of typing in the contents of my high school journals - my heavy box of teen angst. It was so miserable I stopped.
Okay, reviewing the past year has begun to bore me, and I only got as far as March. Short attention span? Or do I just have a really boring life that doesn't change much? Uh, yeah, I vote for the second one. Besides, I need to get moving. Stuff to do, which I'm probably not going to do. :P

And I know what you're talking about, about the year just flying past. I was counting out on my fingers last night (er, this morning) as I was trying to get to sleep, how many months it has been since event X has happened... and just felt amazed. Ugh.
