twenty-four finds me

and another celebration of the anniversary of my birth has come and gone. in an attempt to justify my existence I have compiled the following list of my accomplishments from the past year.

lose 10 pounds over Christmas break

be wrestled to the floor by my baby brother (despite my modest size advantage)

visit Canada, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic

start double bass lessons

neglect to ever practice my double bass

use the word “Bunbury” as a verb

make a complete fool of myself on numerous occasions, with witnesses and written records to prove it

rearrange my room for better feng shui

be told that if I have what it takes to look like Napoleon Dynamite

enter a new year without making a single resolution

reread Strunk & White Elements of Style

severely hamper my ability to enjoy complete commitment-less freedom by signing two 2-yr contracts (for phone and for a future job)

use the words “sweet” and “rad” on regular basis

keep going well over a year without ever adding any design elements to my blog

ok, do you still live in University housing? If so, the feng shui resolution is kinda funny.

Did I get through this time? I've been censored...anyway I'm totally jealous you got to travel overseas. It's been 2 years since I've travel over the ocean :(

Thanks for the Happy Birthday wishes, Sarah. I'm not sure which Sarah you are, but I appreciate the thought. And a happy birthday it was. I was given my favorite things:

*coffee
*a Barnes and Nobel gift card
*books
*random t-shirts from Goodwill that advertise obscure products or some community event from long ago
*food, glorious food
*cash

So, as you can see, it was a lovely-jovely b-day.
