I'm searching myself briefly to figure out what I would say today, on the last day of the year. I've decided to go back in time and find out what I said ten years ago and compare it to today.

This was the first time I had been to the Catalyst in years and years. I saw Chevelle there a few times in my late teens. Going back flooded my heart with nostalgia for a while, ( Read more... )

Ordered the silly new gold iPhone. Sang Love Shack with two friends at a bowling alley bar for a birthday. Trying to get better about making short, positive updates that aren't all private and weird and hidden.
