I really love it when a friend makes plans with me and then flakes. It's my favorite. Especially when he doesn't even call to cancel, he just doesn't call at all.
That's okay though, I found two other Seans to hang out with! I went over to Sean and Mackey's place in Culver City. We watched Saved by the Bell on DVD and goofed around. It was fun. I need to hang out with those boys more.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"Now I'm staring at the sun, waiting for it to explode. Because a day is gonna come, don't know when but it will come and then we will finally know a way out of here. And I will throw away this wrinkled map and my chart of stars and compass, cracked.... I'll cut out my lover's tongue and sing of a graveyard gray and a garden green and then we won't have to worry no more. No we won't ever worry again about how this song or story ends, about how this song and story will end." -- Bright Eyes
Doing that survey made me think about my year. I moved twice in one year. I had dissappointments and victories, and I had points where I thought I had no place left to go but to rot at rock bottom. But I think I've learned that there is always another day that can only get better and that I can't always expect to get what I want. I've also learned that if I put my heart and determination into something, I can achieve it (NYU). This year has been a truly dynamic one.
