Finishing off my life re-lived series, it is time to look at what I have seen to be the most important influencing factor on my life in 2007.

Not surprising for many people, I am awarding top spot to.... (drumroll) ...my Ego.

Firstly, my Ego is so big it deserves its own entry on lifeofsuch. In fact, it almost deserves its own website. Well, maybe not quite a website... more like an institution, possibly the 'crazy' kind of institution.

Yeap, my ego takes out position number one on the life re-lived series. How does my ego take number one?? I shall explain...

This year, I really started trying hard to craft my writing a little better. Granted I still have rambling streams of verbal diarrhoea, but I am attempting to make things a little funnier, a little more edgy, and a little more... um... readable I guess.

This year, my site was featured on the front page of cssmania.com. It got an overall rating of 8 (I think), and on that weekend over 2000 people visited my site. Two thousand in two days. Sure, it has settled down to an average of 20 people per day (Who NEVER say hi!) but it was a thrill for me seeing the stats jump like that. Makes an old dog feel loved.

I also wrote in a small uni magazine called 'RE:' this year... and was 'published' in a sense. The website is coming soon at remag.tv Also good.

So as far as lifeofsuch and my writing goes, the top award for my life re-lived goes to my ego. And if you don't like it, talk to the hand.

The top three again?

1) My Ego
2) Being fired... twice.
3) Teaching all year.

They have been the biggest influences on the life of such this year. On to 2007!
