Was 2010 a good year for you???

I've had better, but I've also had worse. My aunt died, but I haven't seen or heard from her in seven years, so it isn't like I lost somebody close. She remembered me in her will, which is how I found out.
On the other hand, I didn't die, so I guess you could call that a great year.

I could've sworn I'd already replied to a thread like this, but maybe it was elsewhere.
Anyway, I'd have to answer that 2010 was a very good year for me, esp. the second half of the year. I made some significant changes, ones that I'd been working on and building towards for some time, so it was good to officially enact them.
As things stand, I don't think I've ever felt happier or more in control over my own destiny (the two being heavily intertwined, naturally). So I'm hoping that 2011 continues on in the same way. Fingers crossed, and all that.

2010 sucked arse for me... aside from being second full year I was unemployed, my longtime pet kitty passed away just before Christmas. Nothing good happened to me this year, and it was pretty much the same as 2009.
The ONLY good thing that happened in 2009, was being led in, and participating in, a chant of "So say we all" by Edward James Olmos himself, at the San Diego BSG concert... that literally made my whole 2009, but everything else sucked.

You probably did; there was a similar thread here recently.
2010 was pretty good. 2009 had been a mess: a broken ankle, an ending relationship, financial problems. But in 2010 things had been settled; I had an apartment I liked, had my privacy but also got together with my parents and siblings enough so I didn't feel isolated, and was financially stable. I had a nice vacation in Wales, some conventions, some groups to meet with, picked up good books and DVDs, etc. So overall in 2010 I've felt like my life has been comfortably worked out.
Well, I found a permanent full time job, so that was good, but everything else was a bit crap.
Mixed i think.
Lost my job in the summer due to me trusting others too much but got another one after 6 weeks.
Still single and it slowly bums me out (still insanely jealous whenever my best female friend even mentions another guy.. she knows how i feel about her but we haven't talked about it since i came out front with it and she may believe i'm over her which i'm not
).
However relations with my parents are as good as they can be.. enough of all the drama of years past. They have accepted that i live my life and that's it.
So it could have been a better year but it also could've been much worse.

2009 AND 2010 sucked.
HERE'S TO A BETTER 2011.

It was ... hectic? Eventful? A totally mixed bag? 
All has so far turned out for the best, though, and I'm starting 2011 feeling cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. (I turn 30 in 2011, too, which feels sort of major.) We'll see how it all goes ... I wish you all the best in the coming year.

2010 was a mixed year for me, I suppose.
After being unemployed for much of 2009, I finally found some full-time work, although the pay kind of sucks, and lately I've been starting to hate certain aspects of the job. I really don't want to continue doing it for much longer, but unfortunately I have no other options at the moment.
I needed to cut down on my expenses, so I moved out of my one-bedroom apartment and into the second floor of a house that I was sharing with four other people, one of whom turned out to be a horrible, horrible bitch. She was quite literally the worst person I've ever met. Fortunately, she's gone now. Currently there are three other people I share the floor with, and I don't have any problems with them, so I guess that situation improved -- now if only the landlord would do something about the terrible internet service.
Socially, things are as crappy as ever. I don't have any close friends, and I haven't had a single date this year. Not that I've had lots in the previous years, but a dry spell of this length can be really frustrating.
All things considered, I have my health, a job, a roof over my head, and no one in my family is horribly sick or dying, so I guess I can't complain too much. Still, I feel as though there's a lot of stuff missing from my life. I don't really have any direction, or anything to look forward to.
Meh, whatever. Maybe 2011 will be better.

2010 was a very good year for me. I saw some great baseball (both in the brand new Target Field, and in both NYC parks), which is always a plus. I was even at the game where A-Rod hit his 600th home run. 
^You are basing your 2010 on baseball?
Well, if we're bringing sports into it, I will remember and Charish this 2010 Giants team for a long time, if not the rest of my life. They had the Tagline "It's Magic Inside" for the 2010 season. That and Kuipe's "Torture" slogan couldn't be more true this year. It was just an awesome moment not just for Sports, but for the City of San Francisco.
2010 was not a great year. Five family members died, including my hubby; four family members of colleagues; and one former colleague.
But I have survived it, and it is somewhat to be expected when one reaches 61.
If work doesn't go south I will be okay. It would be nice if daughter finds her way, for her sake as well as mine.
May 2011 bring all the best to all on board

And to you, AO51.
I had an okay year for me. I got my car paid off finally, and started on working on getting more bills paid off. I got a new computer monitor (well, used from a friend, but I'm happy with it ), and a new wireless router. Finally moving ahead into the future... haha
