Introduction.
I can't believe the year is over. I'm glad the year is over, but still can't believe it. I wrote the title for this blog a couple of months ago, and I thought that I would put my status updates from the year together. Then, things happened, and I didn't ever get around to it, and other people started to do the same thing. I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon at first, but then I remembered that I have no shame, so jumping on bandwagons doesn't really effect me. So, I went back, did my copy and paste thing, and then I ran into my next problem. I, over the past year, had compiled over twelve pages of status updates. TWELVE PAGES. That's gross. Since I figured that no one would be able to go through a dissertation of "Christine Hammond does this" "Christine Hammond thinks that" (let's face it, twelve pages is a big commitment) even if they wanted to, I broke them up into categories. So, here they are. The best of '09.
Christine Thinks
I remember when my mom first got a Facebook, she said that she read my status updates every day, and that she noticed that all I do is pontificate briefly and send it out into the world. I thought about it for a second, and I realized she was completely right. Truth be told, I'm not that interesting. If I had to write about the things I was actually doing, I wouldn't ever write a status update (and let's be honest, I love doing it. Judge if you must, but one just doesn't pull twelve pages of ANYTHING out of thin air without a lot of time and thought). So, here they are. My daily pontifications.

Things That Actually Happened
