peace out, 08.

2008 rocked my face off. Seriously. It was good, it was bad, it was even ugly at times. But looking back on the year as a whole, I'd say it was a good one. I had the time of my life on a boat and in the Bahamas with my favorite lady friend (sorry Melissa, that would be my Mom...)I took ridiculous photos that I'm still laughing about. I made friends for life. I also made a pledge to do it all over again in 2009 :) I celebrated my birthday with friends and family and the freakin' Cape Cod Times. I was able to give back to my parents a little bit, and I hope they realize how much I appreciate everything they do, even if I don't tell them. I'm working on that last part. I made time for the family that I still have with me and mourned those that I have lost. I did a lot of reflecting on things and I'm starting to learn from my mistakes. I'm making progress. I spent entirely too much money on soap and not nearly enough on beverages with my friends. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed a few afternoons at the Chart Room getting tipsy with some awesome chicks, but where the hell did the summer go? I went to quite a few concerts and drank quite a few brewskis. I celebrated my baby brother's 21st birthday with tacos and chicken chili and guacamole (TACO FEST '08!) I cat-sat a few times and have come to accept animals of the feline persuasion. I got rearended by a drunk driver and damn near peed my pants. I watched Juno approximately 184 times. I met Hanson, twice.

What will next year bring? I'm not quite sure yet. School. Another cruise. Family time. That's what I've got so far. I'm working on it...

As for tomorrow, my plans are pretty much the same ones I've had for the last 8 years. Get my party on with Shawn. Probably drink beers, play Rock Band, and go to bed right after midnight. It's crazy to think that he's been my midnight smooch for that long. Speaking of traditions and such, happy belated birthday to Chases ;) Alright, I'm out. Catch ya in '09.

i think it was unnecessary to publicly broadcast your smooch-preferences on the interweb. now all i'm gonna think about at 12:01 am is you shacking up with mr. chase.

next: i'm glad to see my name specifically in your year-in-review post, as it should be... even though it was to DENY my role as your favorite. altough "lady-friend" kinda makes me think of prostitutes, and i would prefer NOT to think of myself NOR your mother in that light.

just sayin'.

good luck with rockin' 2009 as much as you did '08.
