End of Year Meme
This meme sounds like a lot of fun.
1) Harken back to your archives.
2) Collect the first sentence you wrote every month for the whole year.
3) Entertain us.
It is borrowed from A Snail's Eye View who is in Melbourne, Australia, who got it from Tortoise Trail in Tuscon Arizona, who got it from Somewhere in NJ, who got it from The Hawk Owl's Nest in Piscataway, New Jersey. To avoid it going on too much longer, I'll only list any remaining links in chronological order as far back as I can go.
Birds Etcetera, West Virginia
Reject Null, location unspecified
Hunting for Mr Right, Florida
Polyopia, somewhere on the East Coast, U.S.
What the hell is wrong with you?, Big Ten College Town, Midwest, US
Faux Real, West Lafayette, Indiana
