c'est la vie
january
i moved to new york in the middle of this month. my brothers wedding was around the corner. nothing worth talking about happened, really- except maybe this was the month b. & i started to become friends again. the periodic telephone calls that were mostly of dead silence & familiar giggles.
february
i flew home for a few weeks this month. i made a five day stop in orlando & met a. at a concert. we became instant friends & i'm so happy he is in my life. my brother was married on the 25th. i spent most of my time attending wedding parties & saying hello to "friends" & relatives that i had not seen in years. i also became incredibly sick & was made better thanks to br. & his late night conversations along with the cups of coffee he'd bring over late at night.
march
i returned to new york with b. deleted out of my phone. for some reason, he had stopped talking again, & i wasn't bothered by it. i was working at the travel agency from 9am until 6pm. i spent most of my nights on bowery. wide eyes & open arms, i was in a different world & loving it.
april
my grandmother in greece passed away. i flew over for her funeral. i didn't know her at all, so i felt terrible about being the only one who didn't shed a tear. my best friend celebrated her birthday & for the second year in a row, i missed it. feeling terrible, i sent her a care package in the mail & sang to her over the telephone (i would later make her birthday up to her by taking her out until the wee hours of the morning in florida). i started dating j. who, is not only a photographer, but also 6 years older than me. i spent most of my time at his apartment, for it was in the center of manhattan & i liked the view. my brother bought me a plane ticket to visit him & my sister-in-law in north carolina- i had a nice time. m. went with me to see the shins on the 22nd; that night, i became friends with the (female) lead singer of the brunettes. we sat at the bar & she told me about her best friend back home whose name is also anthea.
may
this month i celebrated greek easter & had dinner with a family i could hardly understand. they made soup out of fish guts & i would not eat it. i think it offended them, & for that i apologized. i also celebrated my 19th birthday by meeting chuck palahinuk, going into williamsburg, & then back to bowery to listen to a bunch of bands. L. called me on my way to the book signing & i remember my skirt almost falling down in union square because it was too big. it was windy & hot this month. a man on 5th ave. told me i had "great tits." a. & i started a band called when nyc met la. we never did anything except talk about how great we were, which made us laugh. j. took photographs of me this month & also told me i was his "special girl." i was mad at b. for forgetting my birthday.
june
my mom & aunt came up to new york to visit me. i was so excited to see them; we went out every day & every night. i left home & stayed with them at the hotel. b. & i were talking every now & then, but nothing wonderful or worth noting, i guess. i saw vanessa carlton play at a tiny club where everyone was sitting on couches & drinking wine. it was a brilliant show. j. & i broke up, but on good terms. i missed him & i heard he missed me, too.
july
b. & i were talking quite a bit, & getting to be very close again. it made me feel good; especially when the events of last year were brought up & he'd say 'i still cared.' my brother came to visit, as well as my father (believe it or not), & we went to a few yankees games. i also ended up making another trip back to north carolina & went to a few bars with n. with my return to new york, i was working in the mornings & still running around like a mad man at night. j. & i ran into each other on prince st. & we kissed. i felt nothing, he wanted to get back together. b. was on the brain.
august
i spent most of this month packing & saying my good-byes to those i spent time with in new york. i moved back to alabama on the 26th, & on the 28th made my way to birmingham. everything was rather rushed & i became stressed due to all the moving i did within three days.
september
katrina hit, & with that went the disappearance of my father. he was missing for nearly a month until he decided to call my brother & tell him he was okay. i ended up missing a month of school & work due to my return back to mobile. b. & i were talking for hours at a time every day. it was nice & he made me feel really good about everything.
october
i returned to birmingham, trying to catch up with school & starting work. in the mist of all of this, i was trying to find time to see people, but never did. i've been feeling horrible about this ever sense.
november
way too stressed from school & work, thanksgiving break is what i needed. i got to see my mom for the first time in a few months- we went to north carolina to spend thanksgiving with my brother & his wife. aside from the week off at thanksgiving, nothing this month happened (aside from work & school)
december
this month hasn't been going well, at all. midterms are kicking my ass with no time to study due to the crazy hours i work. however, i am doing my best & i suppose that's all that counts. b. & i are no longer speaking, i suppose & yes, it hurts. but i've gone through this before & i'm finding it easier the second time around. anyway, i hear third times the charm- so we'll see what month next year we 'get back together.' i'm looking forward to christmas break, as well as going home & back to durham.

all in all, 2005 had it's ups & downs.
i'm hoping 2006 will be better & more exciting.
