I can’t tell you how happy I am right now. Do you know how long it took me to find these little buggers?! TOO LONG! They’re called “nut cups.” Awkward, right? Well, for the past month I’ve been scouring the internet at baking supplier websites, amazon, weird little skuzzy websites, etc. for what I thought were “cupcake liners.” Needless to say, I was surprised to see them called “nut cups.”
1- Did you kiss anyone?: Yes
2- Did you date anyone?: Yes
3- Are you going to kiss someone when the ball drops?: But of course!
4- Did you lose any friends?: Not the ones that matter.
5- Did you gain any friends?: Yes sir — although they do all work for Work Co., so I guess I’m testing the waters as far as true friendship goes, right?
6- Did you do something new?: I graduated from college and started a real job! Holy crap! Look mom, I have benefits and a dwindling 410K!
7- Did anyone important to you die?: No
8- Did you change?: Yes, I think very much. I think in a way, I’m a more shallow person. Well, maybe that’s not true. I think I’m not good at communicating anymore. I feel like 70% of what I say is horse fodder. I feel like what I do say and what does get listened to, mostly has no real meaning to the person listening. I also feel I’ve become increasingly insensitive towards people’s feelings, which might be why most of what I say goes in one ear and out the other. Who knows. 2009 is going to require some serious self searching and lots of change.
9- Are you happy with the year over all?: Overall, yes. I wish I could have been a little more proactive about getting the CPA. Hawaii is Hawaii and I actually don’t feel all that bad.
10- Whats the best thing that happened to you?: I found Yelp and I started my own food blog. Both are pretty amateur projects, but they’re both something I really enjoy.
11- Did you fall in or out of love?: Definitely in
12- Are you happy the year is almost over?: I’m not happy that the year is over. That just means I’m getting older and that sooner or later the topics my coworkers talk about nonstop (e.g. buying a house, getting married, having kids) are going to be topics I can relate to. Euw. I am happy that I’m going to Philly tomorrow with my best friends and my boyfriend. I’m happy I get to wear a cute dress and curl my hair. I guess if I had to end it any way, this would be the right way to do it… you know, stuffing a Philly cheesesteak in my big wide open trap.
13- Are you going to change something about yourself next year?: Oh man, I’m so going to try.
14- Do you think 2009 will be a better year then 2008?: Yes
20- Did you go on a summer vacation?: I did! I went to Oahu and I had a grand old time! I also ridiculously tan. It was probably the most tan I’ve been since I was in grade school.
21- Did you lie to your parents?: No
22- Did you get into a fight?: Lots of fights
23- Did you leave the country?: Unfortunately no, but there’s always next year!
24- Did you have a good birthday?: I had a great birthday!
25- Did anyone in your family get married?: Nope, counting down the days til my cousins get engaged.
26- Do you think you grew?: Grew in personality, no. Grew just a tad in the chub department, but I’m working on that so that shiz gets under control.
27- Did you dye your hair?: I did a whole slew of things to my hair. I was light brown which oxidized into a nice ugly orange. I went blonde for the summer. I dyed it jet black a few times in between. Just today, I got brown highlights all over.
28- Who do you think you were on the phone with the most?: Probably my mom.
29- Did anyone sing to you? Well or badly?: A sings to me on a constant basis. I have a ridiculous amount of remixes made personally for me. XP
30- Did you sing to anyone? Well or badly?: Yes (badly), I got into a karaoke swing with my fellow new hires in Morristown, NJ and then brought it home to Boston, MA.
31- Did anyone tell you they loved you?: Yes, lots of people! =) I’m a very loved person.
32- Did you ever go to the hospital?: No thank god.
33- What did you drink and eat the most?: Brisk Ice Tea and probably sushi.
34- Did you change your top friends at least 8 times?: I guess this was for MySpace of facebook?
35- Did you change your profile over a million times?: No, but I did change my picture to reflect the proper hair color.
36- Did you change your default at least20 times?: Maybe that’s the question for my answer for 35? If so, I don’t think I changed my picture that many times.
37- Did you get a tattoo?: Yes
38- Did you vote?: Yes
39- Are you going to make a new years resolution?: Yup, pass that fucking CPA exam and lose 10 pounds. Both are already in the works.
41- Think you’ll date someone in 2009?: Sure, if A feels like going on dates.
42- Where will you be when the ball drops?: Philly
43- Do you think you will make new friends in 2009?: Most likely
44- Are you hoping to meet someone special in 2009?: I already have!
45- How do you feel, another year has passed you by?: Honestly, kind of sad.
Yes, you’ve read correctly. Today is my first official day of “working from home.”
It just started snowing an hour ago. I can’t wait to be stranded inside tonight and tomorrow!
I’ve been suprisingly productive. I finished both of my big projects and now I’m working on some ongoing things that I’ll have to finish up after the new year. I also managed to book it to Dunkin Donuts and grab an egg and cheese on an english muffin and an iced coffee without having it affect my work schedule. What what!
Now I kind of want to take a nap. I still have two and a half hours left of billable hours though, so I’m just pushing through some of my tedious work. Boo.
To procrastinate further, I’ll tell you about last night. Twinnie and I went to the Natick Collection yesterday to do some last minute Christmas shopping before the snow hit. So we were just strolling along and out of nowhere comes Leon Powe, his wife, and child. I nearly had a conniption. Because Leon Powe isn’t a starter, there wasn’t any sort of mass hysteria. HOWEVER, because my sister and I are insane, we both were skipping around, snapping phone pictures of this amazing and very tall man.
LEON, WE LOVE YOU! Then we kind of let him go since we wanted presents, not restraining orders. That’s my story. I also got milk tea and a chili cheese hot dog with A, but that’s not nearly as exciting as seeing an NBA player.
The end.
Well, turns out I do have a solidified plan for NYE this year. A few brief words with Jae has materialized into a group of us road tripping it down to Philly. I’d say that’s pretty intense. Not going to lie though, I’m really excited. I’m not excited to pay a lot of money for a ticket, but hey at least it isn’t $200+ for New York City.
Sunday (12/21): couch delivery
Monday: drive to NY
Tuesday: City with twinnie and Ray, drunk dinner with the besties
Wednesday: study, help mommy cook, family time, midnight mass
Thursday: Christmas the shiz out of the day and I guess I’ll study for a few hours
Friday: study
Saturday: study
Sunday (12/28): study
Monday: study
Tuesday: study and pick A up from the bus station
Wednesday: drive to Philly and proceed to have a dance party
Thursday: drive back to NY, play with A if he doesn’t leave right away, study, family time
Friday: study
Saturday: study
Sunday (1/4): come back to Quincy
