My year in brief.

We're still a couple weeks away from all the annual wrap up shows and lists and whatnot that will be pouring down upon our heads from media outlets everywhere, but I thought I'd get a jump on the competition. I've gone through a serious series of transitions and new things this year. Pretty much nothing in my life is the same as it was way back in January. Here's 20 highlights, or lowlights, you decide.

1) Thanks to some lessons, I can now ski. And I like it. I intend to do some this weekend in fact.
2) I finished my Masters. Whoop!
3) I've lost 13 pounds!
4) I paid off my car and got my X's name off the title.
5) I got an IUD and stopped having my period! Joy! Rapture! I have not had to buy tampons since March.
6) I went on a cruise with my Mom.
7) I vacationed with Friendster Guy in Ogunquit.
8) I passed out in the bathroom at work.
9) I posted Before pictures of myself on the internet. I should probably take some After, or at least In Transition pictures taken.
10) I bought Crocs even though I had solemnly swore I'd never do so.
11) I got measured to determine what size bra I'm actually supposed to wear.
12) I read a crapload of books. I was keeping track but then life got hectic and it was a list I didn't feel the need to keep up.
13) I hosted Australians at my apartment and made plans to return the favor in 2009.
14) I discovered my father should not be allowed to attend sporting events. Or if he does, he must be muzzled.
15) I bought a Playstation and learned to rock out on Guitar Hero. Hmmm...we haven't set it up on our new HD TV yet. Looks like I have a project.
16) I talked to Barak Obama.
17) I got a new nephew.
18) I quit my office prisoner job to become a personal trainer.
19) I moved in with Friendster Guy.
20) I finished my Christmas shopping.

I've had a heck of a year. Phew.

This is a great idea! I might borrow it down the road if that's okay.

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu

Everything old is new again...

It's been 10 years since last I posted here. Ten. Years. I guess it is true that things on the internet never disappear. I'm honestly shocked I was able to log in. A quick update: Friendster Guy and I split up, amicably, 2 years ago. Since then I've dated 3 gentlemen, the most recent of which lasted a year but once again, ended. Amicably. I'm excellent at breakups apparently. I have just reentered the world of on-line dating and was thinking how I used to chronicle my exploits here. A lot of things have changed in the interim - texting, Facebook being open to all, the ubiquity of camera phones, a new generation of dating sites/apps. But, a lot of things haven't. Men are still...men. The technology may have changed, but the people behind the scenes are still the same. The main difference is that I'm now 15 years older. Maybe, just maybe, I'm also wiser. And maybe, if I cross my fingers really hard, so are the gentlemen I end up meeting.
