my 100th post!

I'm celebrating my 100th post with a meme I found here. Here's what one is supposed to do:
1) Go into your monthly archives.
2) Collect the first sentence you wrote in each month.
3) Publish them together for amusement and fun.

I'm not so sure about "amusement and fun", not with the sketchy, sporadic blogging I do, but let's see...
January:
I've started a project for the new year (the "Girlsown re-read", I've been calling it).

February:
I'm so tired.

March:
I'm sick again.

April:
Yesterday I woke up, went to the local coffee place to pick up cocoa and breakfast, went to work for 13 hours, and went home and directly to bed.

May:
I went to a wedding about 10 days ago, and afterward I roadtripped for a few days.

June:
Last week - ten days ago, I mean - I was flipping channels, because I'm always impatient when watching TV (especially extras-filled American Idol episodes).

July:
I had to read Margaret Peterson Haddix's Among the Hidden for a book club.

August:
Last week I went to a used bookstore and bought a Marion Zimmer Bradley book I'd never seen before: Survey Ship.

September:
I'm still working my way through Clarissa, and it's still fascinatingly dull.

October:
I'm sick (it's depressing, in retrospect, to think of how many posts in the last year have said this).

November:
Below is a Science Fiction Book Club list most significant SF novels between 1953-2006.

December:
I picked up Autumn Term by Antonia Forest the other day, because I wanted a book to read over lunch (handy, working in a library!).

To follow up on those stories: I'm less sick and burned out than I was earlier this year (though the cumulative effects of working so hard for so long are still with me, and I'm thankful that I'm taking a four-week vacation from work in January). Coincidentally (because I've been reading very easy books this year) the Girlsown re-read has bogged down at Tom Brown's Schooldays - I think I'm not interested because he's not Girlsown at all. I wanted to read it because it's such a standard Boysown story, if that's a word, and I've never read it. This is a bit of an epiphany, actually - I've blogged about my interest in all-female communities elsewhere, so I won't expand on it here. But of course that's another reason (aside from exhaustion) why I haven't been as interested in Tom, but I've still been interested in the GO re-read in general. Hmmm.
Clarissa, while still unfinished, is much more interesting (it got more interesting somewhere around the middle of vol. 2) .
I've known the friend who got married in May for 30 years, and I'm still not reconciled to her having a new last name.
Currently, I'm reading a Chalet School book, as well as the new Alex Rider, Ark Angel.
