ONE!! DAY!! MOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!! Sorry. That was just a little Les Miserables reference for all you musical geeks out there. Oh, and it’s Bethday tomorrow. Hug me.
I keep wanting to post some insightful, poignant musing about growing older and everything I’ve learned over the past year, but nothing’s coming out. Maybe tomorrow. For now, let’s just do a recap of fun things that have happened since I’ve been 27. It’s been quite a year, I tell ya. I have:
- literally walked at least 100 miles
- mapped out plans for at least three different stage musicals
- given animals a break from my intestines
- given my intestines a break from animals
- gone out on dates (and/or informational meetings) with more guys than any of my previous years (maybe all my previous years combined…it’s sad, really)
- had some INSANE dreams
- learned to pole dance
- gone on yet another extremely last minute trip to NYC
- spent New Year’s there…again
- taken on more than I thought I could handle, and survived
- watched people have more than any person should have to handle thrust upon them, and survive
- retired the letter jacket (mostly)
- taken a lot of chances
- written a lot…A LOT
- attended a VERY eventful farm party in Holly Springs
- hosted many a film/food event
- planned out film/food events through this time next year
- hosted a Rockin’ Roller Romp (which we need to do again SOON)
- gone to…hang on, let me count…like a bazillion weddings
- spent Independence Day in our nation’s capital
- seen license plates from EVERY STATE here in the Triangle
- discovered Flight of the Conchords, which changed my life
- come up with TWO book ideas
- raised over $2000 for breast cancer research, educational programs and aid (and still going…give here)
- helped the dirtydish to go monthly!!
- watched as the dirtydish died a slow, atrophying death
- begun working in earnest to bring dirtydish back!!
- got fake-engaged
- got the most incredible blisters EVER
- decided to do the thing that got me those blisters again, like the crazy person I am
- coined the term “anyhoe”
Wow. Seriously, I’ve been busy. If you’d like to share any other memorable moments from the past year, feel free. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? That would make me so happy…especially if you won’t be available to hug me tomorrow. Or even if you will. LOVE!
*Special thanks to Whitney for helping me remember all of these things. For your entertainment, the first six things she listed were:
- you became vegan
-
and then you stopped eating all animal product foods
-
and then you didn’t eat cheese anymore
-
and then you went totally off chicken–like cold turkey… or cold tofurkey
-
and you also stay away from milk now
- and you no longer eat the things you used to
Thanks, buddy.
