2007 in review
It's a tradition of mine to do these once a year. I usually do it near the end of the year but since I didn't even start my New Year's Resoultions until the first of February...I figure all bets are off.
2007 in review
Take the first sentence, or first few sentences from each month's first real post, and that's your 2007 year in review.
January -Note to self:
1.) Stop asking people how they're doing. You work at a doctor's office. People are either sick or are there to see a psychiatrist...you will not get a positive response.
2.) Don't speak to the podiatrist. CrEEEEEeeepy.
3.) Make sure to grab someone and kiss 'em like whoa. It doesn't matter who this person is. You don't have mono anymore so use those lips, boy!
February -I don't know how it happened, but I seem to be doing a repeat of last January...and I feel like such a horrible person because of it.
Ugh, feelings suck.
Problem solved. It's amazing how things work out when you TALK about them and grow a pair. Maybe I should do this "take the initiative" thing more often? Hmm... :)
March -I'm beginning to think that all the professors in the Spanish dept at Kent are total douchebag Nazis
April - *upon seeing The Pursuit of Happyness for sale*
Me: "I didn't know Starbucks sold movies."
Natalie: "Ugh, they're turning into a convenience store."
Me: "Yea, pretty soon they're going to start selling tampons and condoms.
Natalie: "Haha, I was waiting for you to say that."
Me: 'Hi, I'd like a Grande Cinamon Dolce condom please."
..or maybe I should go with a Venti? haha
May - Candyman by Christina Aguilera may, in fact, be the most fun song to dance to
...ever
June - As I was listening to the Partridge Family on the radio earlier today, I realized something: If I grew up during the 60's I would have been madly in love with David Cassidy and Davy Jones. Like those screaming rabid pre-teen girls who always attacked that seizure-inducing school bus, or Marcia on the Brady Bunch. But you know who I wouldn't like? Donny Osmond. I do have class, ya know.
July - Well, it happened. I kept joking about it but i never really thought it could.
I met someone. My first night in Salamanca. He was the sweetest guy. We spent every night together, getting coffee, walking in the parks...and he left back home for Boston. I´m a bit devastated, I won´t lie. I´m trying to look at it in a good light, being glad we had that time together...but that´s not how my grieving process works. That comes in time. Now I´m just sad and remembering...
August - So, with 8 days left in Spain I have somehow managed to overdraw on all my credit/debit cards. Um, in other words: I can´t withdrawl any money...and I have a 5 euro dollar bill to me plus some odd change. Hmm...this may prove to be a problem.
Woops.
September - Being back is proving to be harder than I thought. This is the sixth week being back and I’m still struggling. The summer for me was beyond perfect. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. I loved it and it felt so natural and “right” to me. At the risk of sounding too "I can go the distance”, it felt more like home than what I call home now.
October - I spent a large portion of tonight in my room. I lit some candles, crawled into bed and just let my music wash over me. I've been super stressed this week and have been feeling more than the usual bit of lonliness that I usually have. Basically I'm frustrated as hell, and I think because of this some lyrics stuck with me more than others. They don't have to do with a single thing or event, it's just a culmination of everything, really... and hey, just be glad that there's nothing from Dashboard here.
November - On an impulse the other day I picked up the album "Raising Sand" with Allison Krauss and Robert Plant. All I have to say is WOW. It's strikingly beautiful. Yes, strikingly. There's this quality to it that I can't describe, suffice to say that it's one of the rare albums that I can listen all the way through. And one that I want to listen to all the way through. A perfect piece to listen to sprawled out on bed, with a candle flickering in the background. It's fantastic. Two thumbs way up from Eric :)
Plus, it totally eclipses Britney's new cd. Sorry mama.
December - Ok ok, so I'm unreliable and shouldn't be trusted when it comes to setting times or dates. Yea,yea,yea. If you know me, this shouldn't be all that surprising but I still apologize.
