What happened in 2010 minus the news worthy events?

by Katie Heffring

January 2010: T’was the birth of a New Year – bliana! The stars shone brightly every oíche as we all nestled in our wee beds.  The winter’s snowy flakes, a size of a dollar they were, melted on me tongue like sugar, it did.  T’was the month of hot toddies and blaincéid te.

February and March 2010:  Blast from the past brought the son of Doc Brown.  Hips, dips, trips, and fancy sips, we rode the magic shag carpet and got our kicks. But he was no Marty McFly.

April and May 2010: Abducted by aliens.  Bought a guitar.

June 2010: Best month of the year.  Fancy free fun, fringe fun, frolicking fun, fun friends, flowers, fantasy, fearless, flamboyant, footloose, fortunate, favours, flavours and other f words.  What about you?

July and August 2010:  I set forth and made way across the seven seas to the land whence my ancestors came.  A change in the winds and then a mighty storm threw me aghast into the lowly arms of a very rare yet ferocious beast.  I took no heed! And with brrrrrazen fervor, bested the zealot, mind and heart.  My power restored once again.

September and October 2010:  Not only the leaves fell…

November 2010:  …and then Buttercup, she says to Humperdinck, “You can’t hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love, and you cannot track that–not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it–not with a thousand swords, and when I say you are a coward, that is only because you are the slimiest weakling ever to crawl the earth.”  So true!

December 2010: Rebelled. Resolved. Reunited. Rested. Reassured. Righted. 2011 – To rise.
