A lot of things happened to you that year! That was a nice sum up :D

I felt sad to know that you spent your birthday alone... You seem to be such a sweet girl and I thing it's unfair! But it was good to see that you still managed to have a good time! Always positive ^__^

I hope 2011 will be awesome!!

Anyway, take care and stay warm (:

Wow, an eventful year!! ^^ Thanks for sharing! That's a really good idea, summarizing the year's events in one post - gives you a better perspective of all your accomplishments throughout that period. ^^
I feel for you with the lonely birthday - mine was this past week and I spent it with stomach flu (still recovering)...fun times. :P But hopefully this means 2011 can only get better! :D
