I got in a four way tie-breaker and had to chose before it'd display the results. So I chose the fish. Natch.

Actually I'm a bit surprised to find sociology up there: as an academic pursuit it's like having your brain flogged to death with dental floss..

fishboy's year recap (late as always)

Instead of rounding up my achievements for 2005 (which, let's face it, wouldn't make for a very long post) I'm going to list the things I've managed not to do in the last year:

  • I managed not to die skydiving. I'll be giving the grim reaper another chance this month hopefully... Geronimo!
  • I haven't gotten a job I like, but on the plus side I managed to not kill anyone I work with all year. Despite grievous provocation...
  • I didn't bash any wogs.
  • Nor did I pay to use the cross-city tunnel.
  • I wasn't arrested on sedition charges for calling John Howard a lying spineless manipulative cunt. I'll keep trying on that one, maybe if I painted it on the Sydney Opera House...
  • I triumphed at not growing any tomato plants (if this were an achievement list I'd add that I succeeded in growing a garden full of healthy happy snails and lush weeds)
  • I didn't break any body parts at karate all year, not for lack of effort by certain 4th Dan black belts.
  • I didn't manage to see very many movies I liked, and didn't manage to like many of the movies I saw this year.
  • I didn't win the struggle to bring my book-buying compulsion under control.. I also didn't manage to buy enough bookcases for all the new acquisitions.
  • I didn't get pulled over by the police during the (lengthy) time I didn't have a valid drivers' license. Come to think of it, I still don't have a drivers' license..
  • I didn't get eaten by sharks on the Great Barrier Reef.
  • I'm a winner in the not-getting-any-more-exercise-than-I'm-forced-to stakes. And the not-using-my-gym-membership-since-the-first-month game too.
  • I was a thumping success at not blogging very much.
  • Similarly I've been an absolute master at not sending email or letters.
There are too damn many things I've not done this year.
I'd better stop there before I get morose at how crap I am and end up not posting this.

Addendum: So far this year I've been superb at not actually publishing the posts I've written. Will try harder to hit the right button in future.
