2009 IS ALMOST OVER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

Were you involved in something you'll never forget?
quite a few things. i'll always want to run away to italy... PM week 2009 was one of the best ever<3 and i will never forget the 2008-09 etownian staff. casey's memorial was unforgettable in a different way.

Tripped over a coffee table?
hahahah probably. i'm thinking in our living room in the apt :P

Did you dye your hair?
nope

Came close to losing your life?

Do you have any regrets when it comes to your friendships? 
i don't do regrets. and i'm a lucky, lucky girl to have the friendships i do.

Did you change at all this year? 
yeah. it's been... a heavy second half of the year. i didn't really think of it that way until now, but it really has. but i'm only stronger because of it.

Did you change your style? 
eh, not too much. i did the whole one-shoe/rolled-pantleg thing for awhile, but definitely not by choice hahahhaa

Did anyone close to you give birth?
my cousin michelle just had an adorable little boy named nolan : )

Was 2009 a good year? 
it had high points and low points. overall, absolutely it was.

Do you think 2010 will top 2009?
i'd like to think so, but it will also be terrifying... until i find a job. hahaha.

Kissed in the snow?
aww i didn't. there's still a week or so left, though-- and plenty of snow ; )

Had your heart broken?
nah

Done something you've regretted? 
forget regret<3

Painted a picture? 
hahaha mm i don't think so. if i did, it was probably way ugly.

Wrote a poem?
yup, quite a few

Visited a foreign country? 
italy<3 i kind of want to live in venice and/or florence. or assisi. sigh.

Cut in a line of waiting people? 
hahaha um i don't think so? who know, though... i have been known to be a bitch :P

Told someone you were busy when you weren't? 
uhh. i don't think so. that doesn't even make sense to lie about haha

Cooked a disastrous meal?
oh, absolutely. BUT i also cooked an awesome meal (well... boiled? with pre-cooked ingredients?) over the summer hahaha. soo... even?

Lied about how old you were?
no, i don't think so... no need :P

absolutely. i'm ridiculously fortunate.

Met great people?
yes : )

Stayed up until sunrise?
not QUITE till sunrise, i don't think haha

Cried over the silliest thing? 
oh, definitely. i mean, i think almost anything is silly to cry about, but that's because i hate being vulnerable :P

Had friends who were drifting away from you?
yes, but i'm really trying to reconnect. and have, in lots of cases, which is nice.

Had a high cell phone bill? 
i don't think so; i only ever text on it & i have unlimited haha

Had a fist fight?
hahahhahahahah no

Gotten sick?
oh, of course. nothing more than a sinus infection, though, thank god.

Became closer with a lot of people?
yes<3

Lost someone you loved? 
....this summer was so bizarre. i absolutely did-- and do-- love casey, but we haven't spoken in a couple years. at first i felt like i wasn't allowed to grieve... like i had no right to feel grief when her best friends and her family were going through something i couldn't even imagine. i still don't understand how or why it happened, but the amazing strength displayed by everyone who knew casey and the inspiration she imparted have been a comfort over the past 5 months. i still think about her every day, and i wish we'd still have the chance to catch up over coffee.

Did something that affected you in many ways?
oh, of course. i can't even count them all.

Did something you wish you didn’t? 
no, i'm not in the business of second-guessing. even peeing in lake placida.... even breaking my ankle i don't wish i could take back.

Did you meet the 'love of your life'? 
who knows? only time will tell... maybe i did : )

Had an amazing summer? 
it was very, very fabulous in many ways, and incredibly sad in others.

Did something horrible to a close friend?
no. i hope not.

Cheated on someone? 
no wayyy

Did Something LIFE CHANGEING? 
PMs make me a better person every day<3

Met an amazing person? 
lots of amazing people : )

Was it a good 2009?
overall, it was. it kind of paled in comparison to 2008, though, which is unfortunate... but it can only go up from here : )
