New Year's Predictions 2010

Check out this post for a review of my 2009 predictions. And for everyone who doesn't know, in college Reyan and I decided to make 10 predictions for the coming year as an alternative to doing resolutions. David joined in shortly afterward, and rumor has it that Mike will be making predictions starting this year. Soon it will be a global phenomenon (ok, maybe not, and note that that is NOT one of my predictions!).

  1. I will finally buy my own car (the corollary to this prediction is that I'll finally have enough disposable income to actually afford a car).
  2. This will be the year that I finally re-visit Denison's campus. I haven't been there since I graduated.
  3. I will once again go backpacking somewhere in the Appalachians (still my favorite mountains).
  4. I won't get sick all year. I was only sick once in 2009, and ironically it was on New Years day (got the flu, non-swine variety). I'll define "sick" as being sick enough to interfere with my day-to-day routine (assuming employment or school). So a mild cold where I'm coughing, etc. but otherwise feel fine doesn't count (though I don't even remember being mildly sick in 2009).
  5. I've recently started a new D&D campaign, which is my 2nd long-term campaign. Despite the fact that the players will not always be in the same area (and indeed, I may not remain in the state for the whole year), the campaign will not die! Those of you who don't play D&D or other tabletop RPGs will likely not understand the significance of this (and those who do will likely predict that this prediction won't come true).
  6. I'll travel somewhere unexpected, and it will be somewhere that I've never been before.
  7. Someone I know will become pregnant.
  8. One of my friends will meet someone famous.
  9. Bex will have a year of bad luck for breaking a mirror on New Years Day.
  10. A well-known movie will either be remade this year, or a remake will be announced.
Happy New Year!

Just like to point out that I got an email from Laura Stone today and she's pregnant. Prediction #7 fulfilled, and only 7 days into the year.

why not the wasatch front in UT or the cascades in the NW?!?

You mean why are the Appalachians my favorite? I like them because they're much older than the mountains out west, and have greater biodiversity. And I don't mind the lower elevations.

In case I can't think of it when reviewing these next year, Clash of the Titans counts for #10.
