Review of 2010 New Year's Predictions

Wow, it's been about a year since I've posted regularly on this thing. Didn't last too long, did it?

Anyways, it's time for the annual review of my 2010 New Year's Predictions. I guess I'll be a little late with the 2011 ones, since I just remembered that I did these a few minutes ago. Oops.

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).
Yes, I'm 1/1, 2001 Toyota Corolla!

2. This will be the year that I finally re-visit Denison's campus. I haven't been there since I graduated.
Yep, I finally found people to go to Big Red Weekend when I'm actually in the area! Went with Jimanda, Den, and we saw Relia there too (apologies for the gratuitous use of mutant couple names)!

3. I will once again go backpacking somewhere in the Appalachians (still my favorite mountains).
Actually, a pretty bad year for backpacking as I only went once (how the crap did that happen?). Still, it was at Dolly Sods, which is indeed in the Appalachians, so prediction confirmed!

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).
HA! Not only did I get sick (possibly flu) right after my job ended (which also happened to be right before Christmas), but I had Lyme Disease this summer. So that's a big, fat FAILURE for this one.

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).
Yeah, it's safe to say that it's probably dead. There was brief talk of picking it back up now that I'm back in the area, but we'll probably be starting something new. It did last a decent amount of time (at least for our group).

6. I'll travel somewhere unexpected, and it will be somewhere that I've never been before.
Yeah, I definitely need to get out more next year. I'd never been to the Ironton area before, but that was re-locating for a job, not traveling. The only other places I went this year were Dolly Sods (which wasn't unexpected, because I've wanted to go there for a long time) and Chicago, where I've been on several occasions. Lame.

7. Someone I know will become pregnant.
Well, one of my brother's friends got pregnant this year, but I didn't know her before she was pregnant so that doesn't really count.

8. One of my friends will meet someone famous.
Reyan, did you meet Keith David this year or last year? He counts as famous, right?

9. Bex will have a year of bad luck for breaking a mirror on New Years Day.
Lol, I completely forgot about this one! Anything bad (or even mildly annoying, since he's a cat confined to an apartment) happen to Bex this year?

10. A well-known movie will either be remade this year, or a remake will be announced.
Uhhh, can we say Tron? Lol, this was pretty much a freebie though, with the rate they're re-making shit. I'd also like to take this opportunity to mention that a new Buffy movie was announced, but Joss Whedon is NOT involved, nor are any of the original cast, and WB is just trying to cash in on this recent vampire craze by exploiting the rights to the series without the genius behind it (Joss). I encourage you all to BOYCOTT IT!

Wow, 4/10 (unless Reyan can confirm a famous person and/or Bex's luck). I think that may be a personal worst.
