2008- The Year of Changing into the Exact Same Person.
The following is the last line or paragraph (wherever context was needed) of the first entry of each month of this year. I didn't realize these things could be so telling, but apparently my life is pretty thematic.
January-
Atonement was fantastic. Juno was great. Both highly recommended.
I got pearls from Joe for Christmas.
My hair is getting dyed somewhat red, and I fear it.
I'm legit excited for the semester to start.
I want to bat 1000 and get another 4.0
Let the games begin.
February-
Joe comes tonight :)
So do all the ocny girls :)
Keara comes tomorrow :)
Superbowl fiesta loca Sunday :)
That will do... for now.
March-
**NOTE: IT'S ABOUT TO GET SAPPY**
I am so completely, securely, entirely in love with him. We didn't get to go to Binghamton this weekend, and we literally sat around and did nothing, which did not matter at all. He is wonderful. Every second I am with him confirms how long we should have been doing this in the first place. He treats me so well, knows me better than anyone, and never ever gets boring. I have no doubts whatsoever about this, and I'm not afraid. I love every second of it.
April-
The only time my life truly flashed before my eyes was not when I got into my car accident.
In fact, it was when I thought I left my cell phone in my jeans and then washed them.
I really need to get out more.
May-
Sidenote, big ups to the hometown.
The Monroe movie theatre is opening on Friday.
I didn't think I'd live to see that day.
June-
I love walks around the pond in heels with a huge bag on one arm and my boy on the other.
I love cafe gelati and yellow tongues from italian ices.
I love half pitchers of sangria from hacienda that convert into my cup for the night.
I love mornings that involve being half awake and spooning til noon.
I love sitting outside on dusty chairs with shirley temples entertaining my puppy.
I love boys who sit at my bedside all night and kiss my forehead when I get a killer migraine out of nowhere.
I love little hand squeezes of possession when random guys talk to me.
...the past three days never should have ended.
OH AND I LOVE THAT MY BOY IS A CBS EMPLOYEE AND NOW GETS ME YANKEE TICKETS YAY!
July-
Looks like plans for the 4th involve going to Keara's in Westchester with some Marist kids, and I can't wait. They are the friends that always made the most sense.
August-
I need to move in with Joe before my family kills the last of my zest for life.
September-
I need binders.
I am very independent lately.
I recognize the importance of alone time.
I am less afraid.
October-
Nothing much else to report, except that coaching again was a really good decision. Aside from bringing in some much needed extra cash, it has always been a place where I felt needed and appreciated. I walked into tryouts a few minutes late on Monday, and they had already begun stretching and such when they saw me. I don't think I've ever been received like that just for walking into a room. And so what if they're 12 and 13, it feels the same. We haven't had that good a turn out for tryouts since I went to school there. I wish I could make a career out of this. It wouldn't feel like a job. I think that's what your career is supposed to feel like. Oh, well.
November-
Also, I love the trick or treaters this year. Best costumes: 2 girls showed up dressed as their grandmothers, and their grandmothers were dressed as them. I saw an 80 year old woman in a Hannah Montana hoodie. Sometimes people don't disappoint. I was sort of sad that I didn't get to go to the village with Kel and Jenn for Halloween, but I'm close to being done with the whole concept of it anyway. It's too cold to be that slutty, even for me. Yeah, I said it.
December-
“…Or just be yourself, if that would help
Or sink completely into someone else
You dreamt of mountains but sometimes a hole
Is more comfortable.”
Telling there at the end... very telling.
Here's to a new year?
