The Bumblebee Protocol: January 2011

Greetings Salutations and Good Morning!
Welcome to The Bumblebee Protocol
Brought to you by the nearest Band Name Generator (Story coming soon!)

At the end of every year I complete a small survey to document the events in my life however boring or trivial they may be during the course of 365 days. It seems to vary year by year, even though I've only been keeping track for the past 3 years. I found the survey on MySpace so I borrowed the questions and the format of the survey. You'll see what I mean by format when you read below:
