Pointless

IN 2008...

Did you get a bf/gf?
Yup, towards the end of '08.

Did you make a new friend?
A ton. I met some amazing people my last quarter of OU and at Uno's.

Did you go to a funeral or wedding?
Shannon Power's wedding...it was awesome.

Got drunk?
Yes. I go out for a beverage more now that I did at OU ... irony?

Lost your voice?
I don't recall. But probably not as I was not involved in a musical, choral, or sporting event this year.

Had cops arrest you?
Nope. I evaded them.

Had someone tell you that they liked/loved you?
Yes. More so this year than years past.

How has '08 been so far?
Great, and then bleh, and then awesome, and then ok.

How old do you want to be when you die?
Old enough to see the effect I've had on the world.

Held hands with anyone lately?
Yes.

Where will you be two hours from now?
Shopping for post-Christmas presents. Hanging out with Laurel.

Who slept in your bed with you last?
Hmm, my bed is a twin and resides in my parents house, so probably Laurel.

What were you doing at 9 am?
Sleeping happily.

Think of the last person you told "i love you" to, did you mean it?
As I was leaving the house a couple days ago, I threw it at my family.

This time last year, can you remember who you liked?
I don't think I liked anyone in particular at this time last year. Of course, I had my consistent college crushes.

Two days from now this time, where will you be?
Cincinnati, barring some awesome, impulsive adventure! Either way, I'll be somewhere in next year (Ciao 2008!).

Is anything annoying you right now?
Yes: my unsettled stomach, lack of energy, and man-situation.

Do you think anyone has feelings for you?
I certainly hope so.

Have you ever ridden a horse?
Yes. I look forward to riding one in the near future (yay Sama)!

Seen an attractive person today?
Have you seen my family? Yeah, I pretty much win.

Last time you wanted to punch someone in the face?
Man, when don't I want to punch someone in the face? I feel like that has to be one of the most satisfying acts, a good punch in the face.

Are you anything like you were at this point last year?
Very similar, but certainly different. I thought I knew what I wanted last year (grad school), whereas now I've accepted that I have a bit of exploring to do. Also, I have a much healthier self-image now.

Have you lost contact with someone you wish you didn't?
Actually, I think I've stayed in contact with the important ones. Maybe not as good of contact as I'd prefer, but still in contact.

Who are your favorite people to talk to when your down?
Charlotte will always always make me smile, and Sean has a way of making you feel warm and fuzzy no matter what. Laurel makes me feel better just because I know she'll always be around no matter what.

Do you wish things were different with a certain girl/guy?
Yes, and I'm working on it with little hope (just enough to keep me hanging on).

Are you good at hiding your feelings?
Yes, but I do my best to not. (What does that accomplish?)

Do you hate being alone?
Sometimes.

Would u prefer to be single or in a relationship?
Well gee golly, that depends. If approached by one whom I would like to be in a relationship with, then in a relationship.

Are you in a relationship?
I don't think so, but maybe.

Do you like anyone at the moment?
Unfortunately.

Do you miss anybody?
Charlotte! In France! And Sean! In Oregon! And Laurel! Down the street! Come over and watch Firefly with me!

What would you do if 4 girls/boys liked you at the same time?
Flirt, but if I actually wanted to pursue someone, I would make it clear to the others.

Who is the 1st person to know when something is wrong?
Laurel.

Do you hate when people smoke around you?
Yes.

What color shirt are you wearing?
Orange

Will this weekend be a good one?
It's anyone's call. I work all weekend, which could be great since I love my coworkers.

What do you want right now?
To get moving! I want adventure in the great, wide somewhere!

What's the best thing that happened to you in 2008?
Sean, Charlotte, Laurel

My Adventures into Mediocrity

OMG, what has this girl been up to?, I'm sure you wonder.

Well, the answer to that is "nothing much" and "a bunch" all at the same time. My life remains pretty basic: working at Uno's, hanging around with the Uno's crowd, saving up some money for my invasion of Italy (they're never going to see it coming). But I'm keeping things interesting: I went to visit Laurel in Chicago earlier this month and I'm planning a trip to Portland to visit Sean. So that's my story.

Christmas was nice this year -- I enjoyed the family time (and the food). Santa brought me a luxurious faux-down pillow, an electric toothbrush, a bellydancing hip-scarf, and socks! Gotta love that fat old man. I'm also enjoying my bff Laurel being home. We've gone out, we've stayed in ... it's always more fun when the LMFs are together. But I'm pretty blessed overall -- I have wonderful friends. (You know who you are).

It's been so long since I've updated that to be more specific would be silly. Fortunately, I don't have anything else to report, so no one is missing out.

And I'm out.
