... Can't feel your breath for the wind
So, happy birthday to me. :o) Nothing too exciting... I went out last night with
Janel,
Jen,
Chelsea,
Jordan,
Dria, Ed, and Mike--Cheesecake, and then we went to see
50 First Dates. Worked today. Exciting, hey?
So, I decided that I should do some sort of funky entry. Something birthday-esque and exciting. Anyways. My 22 favorite memories of the past year. Since today's my 22nd birthday an all. Yeah...
- The random "burning legs" incident in Fort Macleod with Laurel. There were a lot of vanning incidents, but that one is definitely close to the top of the list!
- The poster-hanging and tree-decorating experiences with Logan. It's funny--they've almost become the same thing in my mind. Two diffeternt incidents, but they were so similar that they deserve to be just one thing.
- Jen's visit in April, especially the random Denny's night, the trip to West Ed, and marvelling at melting snow and green grass.
- The week I readjusted my schedule so that I was going to bed at 5:30 or 6, and sleeping until 12 or 1. I was home by myself, and there was just enough peace and solitude to be exciting.
- Bringing Linus home and watching him grow up and do all the cute little things that kittens do when they're really tiny. And, watching him grow into a sleek, elegant cat, not just a psycho kitten.
- Going to Vancouver with Janna to see Espresso; going out for drinks with Lucia; and the wide, wide range of conversations that took place in the 20+ hours we spent in the car.
- Christmas in Saskatoon, and Christmas at the farm.
- Dragging Laurel into every paint store in Red Deer to pick out house colors.
- My showcase, and the way everything fell into place. Everything went so well in the end, and all the little details came together, even though I didn't know if it would.
- The 20% ear piercing discount in Red Deer. Nothing like living life on the edge...
- Lynsae and Jereme's wedding weekend. It was one of those things that was just fun, and it was really, truly an honor, in the truest sense of the word.
- Going to see Fame!. Wow. I need that kind of relaxing weekend again. I needed that kind of time to be pampered and taken care of, just for a few days.
- Making it snow for Once Upon A Christmas. That was one of those random things that was just so weird, but hey, I made it snow, and that was the coolest. It was validation, of a sort.
- Buying the pink sponge rollers I had when I was little, and making my roommates put my hair in curlers for me.
- Doing NaNo for the second time, even though I didn't finish the novel. I was Calgary's ML, and I spent a lot more time on the boards, hanging out with people and getting to know them more than I did in 2002.
- Falling asleep during countless movies and TV shows, and never managing to stay awake for more than half.
- Light switches, squishing bugs, molten wax, hot stoves, peanut butter Oreos, milk cartons, and Hazel, except not spelled like that.
- The pink dancing chicken scaring Linus (and Jordan, for that matter).
- "My blood is not reckless!"... "It's so... MANLY!"... "I love this woman!"
- All the flat tires on the way to church. Which, of course, are only entertaining in retrospect.
- "Who else lives like this?!"
- Clay and Josh being banished to the car, and singing along to them every time we drove anywhere.
Wow. That list took a long time. Longer than I thought it would. I thought it would be easy to come up with 22 good memories. It was; I just made some of them more general, which made it harder.
Anyways. I'm going to bed. I have to work way too early in the morning. Again.
