2007 in review
Tomorrow is the last day of 2007 and because I am working then going out [yes, you read right, I'm going out] I won't have a chance to post again before the new year.
2007 has been a pretty awesome year, quite possibly the best year of my life. I went to countless gigs including My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is, Billy Talent, Saosin and Brand New. For the first time in a long time I felt confidence in myself. Jen and I bonded and became even crazier. I went on My Chemical Holiday, met My Chem three times and discovered who I was. I've been pretty happy too. Caitlin arrived in September and suddenly my Batman and Robin act became the Three Musketeers - three times the crazy, three times the awesome. I quit Dusk and got a job at Dymocks, the bookstore. I read thirty books [31 if you count rereading HP7], my favourites being Harry Potter 7, the Twilight series and The Catcher in the Rye.

I only hope 2008 has as many wonderful moments as 2007.
Tomorrow night Caitlin, Jen and I are getting frocked up and partying in Newtown beginning with dinner at a thai restaurant. Part of me suspects it will end with us drinking vodka and watching Wayne's World, but that's still awesome in my books.
