[ the times, they are a-changin ]
Here it is.
1) Was 2005 a good year for you?
The best year of my life.
2) What was your favorite moment of the year?
The week of the meteor shower. The day Mina kidnapped me and we watched Caitlin die. Pizza at Sicily's at the end of junior year. Junior prom. Winter Break show at Magoo's. Battle of the Bands. The world's best waffles at Heather's house. Thrift store shopping with Liza, Christina, Michelle, and everybody else under the sun. The Ong birthday part with picwhoring, Xtreme Croquet, and way too many hot dogs. Summer insomnia. Homecoming, and Heather's afterwards (haha). Float. Getting nominated for queen. Movie nights at Michelle's. Figuring out what was in New York Pizza. Every moment at Panama ever, pretty much. Senior picnic was amazing, a truly perfect day. Heather's car accident (pretty funny, actually). Link Crew training and going to Carls Jr with Brett and Trent and hearing what guys talk about when girls aren't really around. "Are you a freshman?". Missing the last Runforit show on campus so Michelle and Liza and I could go to In N Out (good priorities whaaat). Going to the pool with Heather and Brett and then sleeping on her trampoline afterwards. "We are out traversing the town." Whipped cream fights with John (hahaha). Shopping with Jenn at Nordstrom's for Sadie Hawkins. All the away messages with Jess. Diving team. Eric's Halloween party. Not So Silent Night with Liza and Matt, as of this coming Friday. Caitlin's pudding party. Mina's car. All the good times at Heather's house like when I baked and frosted an entire spice cake while the Mormons got carded buying root beer. Football games. Marshmallows. Haight and Ashbury with Liza and Christina. Hardcore shows with the Mormons. Unity shows and Magoo's shows and Panama shows with everyone I love.
January 1, December 31, and every day in between.
