End of the year POINTS! [More:] We could collaborate on a massive year end POINTS for New Year's Day (I just love POINTS when I catch it, I don't know if there is a reason it stopped) but here's a start for now due tomorrow afternoon:

For the year and you must state said thing you are counting:
2 point for every new factoid that stuck.
10 points for any long term project you accomplished (long term meaning at least two months)
50 points for any goal achieved
10 points for each new hobby
10 points for each new person in your life that you like
20 points for each new person you must endure on a regular basis
2 points for every book that you truly enjoyed
2 points for any movie that stuck with you
5 points for finding new favorite music
2 points for a new regular website
50 points for something you kicked/changed/stopped
10 points for each new skill learned
5 points for any thing you read/watched/endured that you really would not have done were it not necessary
2 points for things done out of obligation
5 points for telling obligation to go bite it
10 points for each really good laugh you got
2 points for every time you said no when it was hard
5 points for every time you said yes and it was hard

Wow, I could just go on and on.
Don't think too hard or it will take forever. Just do it quick and pick the stuff that stands out, is my recommendation, but maybe you want to go for maximum POINTS!

Also, think about things for a New Year's POINTS and we can all work together?!
ethylene, my little brain does not have the memory to even try to compete in this Points game. If you move on to something that I can handle, like how many blue things are on my desk today, I'm your bunny.

I kept wanting to add stuff and stopped myself. I really didn't think there was anyone around, and if they wanted to bother, they would. It's really about whether or not you want to bother, for whatever reason.
Who can tally up a year? Mary Lou Henner and people with that particular memory OCD quirk maybe, there are only like 14 of them, but I figure if you stopped smoking and it was really hard or learned how to knit, etc. that would stand out.
I mean, I suppose I could ask how many textbooks are in your house or how many bottles of booze you have, but I asked about stuff I was interested in right then.
I could just as easily make a different one:
1 point for every bag/case/carry all/luggage piece/etc. that you own.
1 point for every different kind of alcohol in your domicile.
1 point for every book/magazine/reading material you are currently reading.
I point for every song in heavy rotation by you.
1 point for everything off-white in sight.
1 point for a random quotidian detail.
Details needed to gain points.

It's 4:20! I no longer smoke pot! Damn!
I could come up with different points all day.

I'm game. The first one would be simpler than the 2nd one so let's see.

2 points for a new regular website: (all via rss) Askamanager.com, Already Pretty, Of Another Fashion, DIYdiva, Decor Hacks, Simply Recipes, Fashion It So, Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home, Coffee and Porn in the Morning = 18 pts

10 points for each new hobby: I restarted yoga after 1.5 yrs away = 10 pts

50 points for any goal achieved: New job! With pay raise! = 50 pts

2 points for every book that you truly enjoyed: Meljean Brook's Heart of Steel, Cindy Spencer Pape's Urban Arcana series and Gaslight Chronicles series, G.A. Aiken's The Dragon Who Loved Me, Eve Langlais's The Geek Job, Eve Silver's Body of Sin, Gwen Hayes' Second Son of a Duke, Sharon Ashwood's Frostbound, Anne Bishop's Twilight's Dawn, Cat Adams' Demon Song, Elisa Paige's Stealing Time, Courtney Milan's Unlocked = 30 pts

10 points for each new person in your life that you like = 2 new coworkers and new boss's boss = 30 pts

10 points for any long term project you accomplished (long term meaning at least two months) = the sweater it took me a year to knit because it took me forever to buy the double pointed needles = 10 pts

so 148 pts. Not too bad considering my horrible memory (the books are tracked between my library account, librarything and calibre).
