Soo
A little late, but in honor of my friends who regularly post their years on livejournal, and since I haven't posted in a really really long time (possibly not once this year, can't remember and can't be bothered to check right now), i'm doing my "end of the year" recap... except this time it's the entire year. (except without good or bad checks next to it, that just gets too complicated at certain points):
-Rang in the new year hanging out with Addison eating Chinese food and playing video games.
-Started Therapy
-Went to California and met my biological father.
-Brand New/Manchester Orchestra Concert (awesome!)
-Found out how shitty post-relationship drama can be
-Started painting regularly
-Fixed/Finished my first tattoo
-Bought Ticket to Rocky Votolato then gave it to a friend cuz all the people I was going with did not have tickets and didn't feel like going alone.
-Went to Orlando for a week with my godfather and cousins (rollercoasters, woot!)
-Finished Therapy
-Watched a roller derby match for the first time
-Keg Race up in Golden
-Randomly ended up getting a scarification
-Got my second tattoo
-Was in my cousin's wedding.
-Was introduced to the fun that is Karaoke at Tavern 13
-Went to El Paso for grandma's 70th
-Left for Sicily
-Arrived and realized I couldn't speak Italian worth a squat.
-Went to a Beach Party to celebrate the beginning of summer and met a girl
-had a crazy week with said girl before she had to leave
-Slept through the first match of the world cup, woke up in a terrible mood
-Started working nights at the hotel
-Spent my birthday by myself on a beach with a samich, cookies, and a bottle of white wine. (and rode there and back on a bicycle complete with basket and bell)
-Did nothing (literally) for most of two months... left the hotel less than 20 times all summer.
-Went on a boat day trip to some fishing villages on some Islands off the coast of Marsala
-Came back three shades darker.
-Went to England for the first time
-Got pierced in Chelmsford
-Got to hang out and go shopping in London (yeah, I said it)
-Got pierced in Camden
-Came home and realized I could speak Italian
-My uncle Victor passed away (en paz descanses, tio)
-found new apartment, moved in, and started working at Whole Foods
-Finally got to see Old Soul (Twin Peaks)
-Somehow ended up partying 4 nights in a row, starting with a housewarming party, then followed by 3 consecutive halloween parties, ending with spending halloween itself at The Church.
-Went to the Harry Potter midnight release with a friend who was actually willing to dress up with me.
-Won a free turkey on Thanksgiving in a raffle at work. (woot! I supplied part of my family's Christmas dinner with that)
-Missed my mom's birthday because I forgot what day I was living (Not WHEN her birthday is) and my family didn't invite me to the dinner that night because they forgot I no longer live with my parents (you can see where I get it from).
-Absinthe... wow
-Walked 20 blocks or so at 2:30 in the morning while blazed because I had to go pick up my cousin from a club and he was too drunk to figure out which way South on Broadway (or where he was on Broadway for that matter).
-Had an interesting night involving karaoke, tequila shots, and a Burger King parking lot conversation until 5 in the morning.
-Went out with friends for a birthday/new years celebration at Bar standard, got ridiculously wasted, danced as though I actually knew how to (even though I don't), and then stumbled home to bed (approx. 2 1/2 hours into the new year).
All in all, a pretty awesome year, albeit exhausting and tumultuous.
