Here follow links to selected entries from my journal over the past year.

I forgot to do this one last year too. Compared to 2003's entry, it will be a bit sparse because I didn't make so many entries in 2005. And those that I did make were generally work-related. Feel free to skip over.


January:
I Started flying lessons.

February:
I featured in a TV documentary and also had a bit of a mope.

March:
I had some work wibbles, but soon got over it. Met a few new people via LJ (rather than meeting the f2f first and then friending them)and also had a personal first (intentionally vague)

April:
My sleuthing skills once again proved useful. I unintentionally cause quite a stir in a discussion on politics.. Finished the Alpha version of my LJ2NNTP reader


May:
I went through a period of actually enjoying my work. Noticed that I'd started to go grey.. UA Meet XIII.

June:
Work took me to London and Newcastle - I got to meet up with [livejournal.com profile] sheeshkebab, having not seen him for maybe 2 years? Time flies so quickly. I remember that summer so well. Went to a carnival/festival thingy in Manchester.. Hmm. Reading that month I notice that I went from Aberdeen to Southampton on adjacent days. I don't know how I put up with it.

July:
Made my first (constructive) efforts to sort out my gripes with my employer. Got stuck in Edinburgh due to G8 fuckwittery. Joint birthday party with [livejournal.com profile] jenbird Got wound up by mayonaise

August:
Had a lucky escape on the motorway. Had a fabulous BiCon. Once again had it re-affirmed that it really is a small world.

September:
Made the decision to quit my job and actually did so. Remarked on pleasure from the small things in life.

October:
Talked about soppy films.
Went to a lecture at the Royal Institution. Worked my last day.

November:
Went to Whitby.
Got annoyed by tesco online grocery shopping. Went to a pub quiz on 5 consecutive nights.
Had an embarrasing dream. More small world syndrome. Looked for places to live in London.

December:
Got a job
Had an excellent BiFest - such a lovely end to my time in Manchester.. Moved to London.
Got wound up by stupid legislation.

Have a great New Year, whatever you're doing. I'm off to http://www.livejournal.com/users/ciphergoth/250435.html, after catching up with Mike and John(WINOLJ).

On google videos I've seen a group calling themselves "Manchester Spinners". I didn't recognise any of the faces, but it's possible they'll know some of the same people.
