The Year That Was: 2010

As we come to the end of the year, I look back at the incidents in my life and those of my friends.

Feb 2010: Femmo said she will be gone for a week to improve her IQ up to 90. She has not yet returned.

Mar 2010: A friend went to her mayke (mother's place) for childbirth. She went a little early (before her pregnancy was confirmed). She is still there.

Apr 2010: A friend promised (by mistake) to walk in rain everyday for the rest of her life.

May 2010: A die hard communist friend told me that her child didn't resemble her. I said maybe her husband cheated and maybe she wasn't the real mother. She went and accused her husband. And... Well the rest of the incident was very ugly.

Jun 2010: Friend's mom returned to Calcutta from US. Her father, who in the mother's absence handled the kitchen portfolio, handed over custody and responsibility of the kitchen to her mother.

Jul 2010: A friend went to the beach to get tanned and came back whiter than before. She plans to sell this wonder cure called Albulgu to dark skinned people.

Aug 2010: A friend got her driver's license in Australia after a record 83rd attempt. She is a shining example of how our perseverance can frustrate the Motor Vehicles Department.

Sep 2010: A friend went on serious dieting. She is writing a book on dieting which will find favor with people who want to gain weight.

Another friend started taking tennis lessons. I explained the importance of proper breathing while serving; whether we should breathe before or during or after serving. She has been double faulting ever since.

Oct 2010: I informed the Polish parliament of the consequences of the indiscriminate use of the letter Z. Even now, cities like SZSZSCZCZNIN show scorn towards the new Z reduction policy being promulgated. Embittered by this, Switzerland and Norway have refused to join the EU. Friends from Poland showed solidarity with me by actively avoiding the use of Z. Dieki.

Nov 2010: Juice paid $100 to an escort to get math lessons.

Dec 2010: A friend got a job as a photographer. Details of what she would pay her employer are being ironed out. I explained to her the theory of money. That in any transaction the person who enjoys the transaction always pays and the one who supposedly doesn't enjoy gets paid.

Blondie friend baked a cake for her best friend. Subsequently they are not on talking terms.

Bjubos explained to me that Julian calendar (followed by Orthodox Christians) lags Gregorian calendar (followed by most everyone) by 13 days. So orthodox people get Jan 1st on Jan 14th, if you know what I mean.
She told me her sons come and stay at her house every weekend. She visits her parents every weekend. She said she hasn't met her sons in a long time and wondered why.

Hmm. Just a normal year.
