Posting this early so I can spend the rest of New Years/Eve with my family.

Anyway, first, I'd like to wish everyone a happy 2009. Let's see how it treats us in comparison to 2008.

Now then, onto the message. I'm not sure how it went for everyone else, but for me 2009 started out awful, but got surprisingly good later.

I'd like to say a few things to a few people though.

1. Read my rant on the internet. This is half plug, half important thing I think; I personally think I made a good point, though that's up to opinion(but looking at the comments, I'm not the only one who feels so), and I'd like to see what others think.

2. Don't tell me every detail of what your doing or did today. I can appreciate some of it, but people who tell me what they did, when they did it and how, honestly, I don't need or want to stop whatever I'm doing to give a one-word answer to your description to someone you befriended over the internet of how you told some friend of something when you already told me it happened earlier in the same discussion. Not naming names, but you know who you are.

4. Laugh at yourself. I see too many people who can't take a joke. Seriously, it's all in good fun, I do it often, really, don't take yourself so seriously. Your no more important than those next to you, don't act like it's blasphemous to joke about you.

5. You people need more independence. Seriously, in nearly every chat of all-BZPers, there's always been a leader. Be yourself, don't listen to others on your choices.(I know I joined a namechange fad. I was tired, and it's a nickname, not my thoughts.)

6. Don't say "This", "Is" and "Madness" to anyone in the same sentence.

7. To those complaining about Obama wining; shut it and listen to McCain; "And I hope you will join me in wishing Senator Obama the best".

8. To those going "omgbamawoot"; shut. There's a certain point where being happy becomes being a poor sport.

9. Approve me more.

10. Cool off. I've been told this myself, I figure I'll pass it on. Sit back, take a drink, eat something, put on some good music or comedy, and enjoy the moment, don't get caught up.

Now some personal messages in specific to people;

Wrack - Be less of a fangirl to non-Halo-Microsoft. And yes, you are. You've bashed OS X and Linux with no backing over AIM, and have bashed both consoles that aren't a 360.

bfa - GIVE ME YOUR MACBOOK. NAOUGH.

EW - Be funnier.

Kex - Read #10 and #4. Nothing personal, but you do have a bit of an ego.

Robo - Quit hogging CoTRPG power.

Omi - Keep being awesome and don't leave like Lluvio said to that one time.

Any and all fanboys/fangirls - Get a life and see things from multiple angles.

Simulcast - Get that album out and send me a copy. Digital or material, either is fine.

That extra second of 2008 - Please mutate into an extra hour of 2009, because I really think that'd be awesome.

Anyone I missed who wants something from me - PM or IM me and I'll do it.

With that, happy 2009 to everyone.
