Hello, and welcome back to my blog of unfortunete events. 2005 was an ok year. It went out smoothly, I didn't die or catch on fire or anything. Let me recap what happenned by months, like what my friend r9 did to his journal.

January – My 7th year of bad luck was finally ended when I broke a mirror back in 1998. And I started going to Campus Life. Its like a little Christian thingy at our school. I enjoyed the bible verses and prayers. I stopped going during April. And I had enough money to buy my favorite rock band's CD, Alter Bridge: One Day Remains.

Febuary – My great great grandmother died. I still miss her.

March – Kinda a wasted month. I was mostly rehearsing for my upcoming play.

April – Easter, Spring break, all that good stuff.

May – I posted my first account post on GameSpot as the registered name, edgemeister. Rooster and Appalo were playing this role playing game. The next day, I performed in a play called, Little Shop of Horrors. Most schools have this play. It was performed at Broadway and is also a very good movie. I was the protoganists "father", Mr. Mushnik so feel free to call me Mr. Mushnik around GameSpot if you want to annoy me. I got eaten by a giant singing plant. Then I joined the biggest level GTA Union, the GTA Legends Union.

June – I graduated. Rooster wanted to burn the school down. For graduation, I watched Mr and Mrs Smith in the theaters. Its still my favorite movie. That movie theater owned! It had a DDR machine.

July – That one day with the fireworks and everybody gets drunk and people coming from across the border selling fireworks. Whats it called again? Oh yeah. Independence Day.

August – I found out Rooster got in big trouble and wasnt allowed to use the computer anymore. O well, his loss.

September – I started high school! It was awesome to see some old friends from like elemtary school. I made a lot new friends too. I also thought it was like a new beginning for this loyal edgemeister so I started a new account with the name that'll always live with me, Thumbs Up Master.

October – GameSpot shuts down.

November – Um…that one day where you eat a dead bird, watch football, family gets drunk and usually gets in fights. Whats it called again? O yeah. Thanksgiving.

December – My B-Day started off the month. I turned 15. Then I got a lot of cool stuff for Christmas and The Thumbs Up Club was formed @ GameSpot.

January – Well, I'm typing this.
