Went to a Down Under Festival in Atlanta and met an Aussie singer.
Went to a Highland Festival in Atlanta and met an Irish folk band- Stonewall.

Keith Harkin- Don’t Forget About Me
Forget about east...forget about west
Go where the weather suits you best
Forget about north...head for the south
Sunshine is there all year around
I don't know where my heart is leading me
Forget about wisdom...head for the coast
Help me forget the things that seem to hurt the most
Just don't forget about me
40. How will you be spending New Year's Eve?
I didn’t have any plans except for seeing Taken 2 with my dad on New Years Day. Since I’m writing this in January, I ended up snoozing through Wild Target with a huge headache and going to bed at 11. Good thing I didn’t have any plans!
Wow, I like LJ's new select tags option. I really need to be on here more. I hope all my LJ friends are well!
Here's a pic of my new car, just for you guys. :)
