2005
Some things I did in 2005:

Alora and I played at the open mic a ton of times.
I filmed "The Clown Quartet", "A Short Film About Toast", and "Abernacky Brown Does the Hokey Pokey".
I explored my feminine side.
I saw They Might Be Giants at Borders and gave John Flansburgh my CD.
I released "Damn Skippy" to the public.
I hosted the very successful (if technical difficulty-plagued) Hooray Radio.
Emmy and I got interviewed about Potter Puppet Pals in "Movie Magic" magazine.
I had several songs played on the Dr. Demento Show.
I saw Weezer.
I visited Sarah at RISD.
I went to my older sister's wedding and played a song for her.
I went on an RV trip with my family to Niagara Falls in Canada.
I went to the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince midnight book release and talked to real life Potter Puppet Pals fans who were awesome.
I saw Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood live, and then got to meet and chat with them personally.
I turned 19.
I filmed "Remembering _______" (that's still a HBP spoiler.)
I won at least five things from claw machines.
I got my first cell-phone.
I found a cute little mouse named Pooky who didn't live very long :(
I passed the GED.
I saw Henry Rollins.
Altf4 and I released "Ebaums World Dot Com" and it was very popular.
Alora and I played a fantastic sort-of-big gig at Plain Street Studios.
I had one of my songs ALMOST used by VH1 (and I ALMOST got $1000 for it.)
Altf4 and I released "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" and it was very very very popular.
I sold almost 300 CDs.


Not a bad year!

Yes it was a fun year. You also learned who I am, which basically makes me feel super special when I see all those who comment on your journal. We, well you, need to do Hooray Radio sometime soon again...and plan it so I have absolutely nothing else going on. :P Cuz last time it was really annoying how I had to leave and you'd gone to sleep by the time I left, which isn't your fault at all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	carvinkeeper12 2006-01-02 05:45 am UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, you forgot being a voice in Kepple's thing and making your journal not take anonymous comments. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The other night on the phone, my boyfriend had me listen to an awesome song he had just discovered. 'Twas The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. I was all "HAY IT'S NEIL! YAY!" for I am a fan. Fun times. Also, congrats on the good year. (Reply to this)
