I don't feel abused at all, but if they give me that option I will most certainly choose it every damn time.

I'm gonna do the bottom and top five things of 2010 because everybody else is doing it, and I feel left out. Murrr!

So anyways, bottom five things.

5: My diminished mental state.

I'm not sure if it's down to all the stuff I put in my body in my late teens coming back to haunt me or I'm just working myself too hard. But it's certainly becoming more apparent that I'm not a full deck of picnics. It's pretty well documented that I've never really been the most hinged human on the celestial landscape but It's getting worse, and it's pretty scary. I think I may need to talk to somebody. For reals. It's hurting other people now and thats kinda lame.

4: The liquidation of Adventurers Anonymous.

MY DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GROUP BROKE UP! WOE IS ME! But seriously, my core group of friends made these nights the highlight of my week. It was so much more then a bunch of geeks rolling lots of die and shouting things in Dwarven. Unfortunately the real world got in the way with work schedules changing and all the drama that this life brings. My Wednesday nights will never be the same.

3: Smoking

I started smoking again! Sure it looks cool, but I have no doubts about the fact that it is slowly killing me. I feel like I'm letting so many people down. Just let me get through some things and I will stop. Promise.

2: Emily.

Don't get me wrong, I love Emily, I love her a lot. But we are clearly drifting apart in-spite of me doing everything in my power to try and stop it. We've been together for so long and have changed so much. Urgh. I don't want to just walk away from her, she is my best friend. But are we just really good best friends now? Or do we still have "that" spark? Everything I do seems to upset her lately. I don't know where this ride is taking us.

1: SNOW.

Snow is shitty. Our country has no real coping mechanism for when the white stuff falls from the sky. It's dumb! Other countries have been dealing with it much better for far longer. Why not us? I hate it when my life grinds to a halt because of the weather!

THE GOOD!

1: I got a debit card!

This is also kinda bad as I have no real concept of money anyway, so giving me a little plastic card that I can shove into a slot and get stuff for "FREE" is always going to end up in me having some problems with my bank balance. But oh well. It's another step towards independence...again.

2: Slaying some evil Ex girlfriends.

I am a dick to women. Always have been and probably will continue to be so. But I've been talking to some of my most vehement haters and have managed to smooth things over. While I'm hardly on their list of top ten friends, I'm certainly not still hearing them scream "RICHI CRYPT MUST BE DESTROYED!" every time I fall asleep .

3: Luddybuddy.

So, I left her standing alone in the vast wilderness of cyberspace when she needed me the most. Like a dick. BUT NOW: We are back on speaking terms. And this pleases me, for more then just my self gratification over doing the right thing and apologizing. Blah blah blah. It's all good in the hood.

2: Henry!

I have another nephew! He is small and smiley. I didn't click with him at all when I first met him. But now we're cool. We hang out. It's just nice to see the family expanding, y'know?

1: BEING A GHOSTBUSTER.

Oh.My.God. Talk about a childhood dream come true, nothing is better then seeing peoples faces light up when you roll in. Sirens blaring, music screaming, proton packs humming. This is all I ever really wanted from life, and now I have it. It's a very strange feeling to achieve your lifelong goal, and the fact we help out so many people with the causes we work with makes it more then a little geeky fantasy. The best moments of my life have been this year. I am the one you call. I hope we can continue to help people and charities long into the future.
