My Personal Top Ten Moments of 2009
Mark Buehrle’s perfect game and the Chicago White Sox game I attended for free with box seats tickets from Jessica, with Christina and her parents. [These were both awesome enough to be separate, but I wasn’t actually at the perfect game, and they were like a week apart, so they’re combined]
LWE Madrigal Dinner. Because of seeing Michael as the Steward and because of almost...
2009: Wrap-up!
I don’t know why, but I feel compelled to look back on this year……I’ll try to stay chronological, but I make no promises.
The last thing I did in 2008 was decide not to go to Northwestern. The first thing I did in 2009 was accept that.
January was…Arizona. It was tons of fun, although bittersweet, and definitely a learning experience. It was my last time conducting...

I logged on to my xanga for the first time in what seems like five years to see if I posted any resolutions last year. Nope. It’s depressing. All I can say is that I’m so happy that I don’t feel like that anymore.
I want to share something with everyone. I made it happen. For a while, I sat around and felt sorry for myself; I sulked. Nothing got better until I decided that I wanted...

I don’t really wanna be at EB’s tonight. But I said I would.
I can’t wait for Ginny’s. Mostly just excited to play the game of things! Well, and there’s the fact that I love the people who will be there….that’s always a plus.
If I could, I would go back to school right now. But I can’t because my dorm is closed.
My father and sister are exactly alike…and I will never, ever forgive either of them. I can’t.
As much as I love I-House, I wish I’d made the move to Southside…then I wouldn’t have to put up with this nonsense, not now, and not over spring break.
If I don’t get the...
Heading for a terrible day in Geneva.
That’s not in Wisconsin, btw.
Interesting fact about me #8
When I’m getting ready to go somewhere, I will most likely be listing to my playlist of rap/hip hop/pop music. It’s is called “Mo-Town Thugs,” which is actually just a term used by an old teacher to describe the town I’m from.
It was me.
No, you don’t know.

Interesting fact about me #7
I do not like numbers that are multiples of 5, aka numbers that end in 5 or 0.
For instance, I cannot set microwaves, alarms, or any other kind of timer for a multiple of 5. If I need to wake up at 9, the alarm gets set for 8:57 or 9:01 or something similar. I also cannot eat foods that I know were in the microwave for times ending in 5 or 0. If I know my Mom put something in for 3 minutes, I...
I just sent off two of my poems…
to someone who will read them, and possibly incorporate them into his music……

I needed this and now it's gone.
Now I’m just upset. I hate computers sometimes. I have been writing something all day, and it’s a really slow process because it’s so personal and so sensitive. I made a lot of progress, but I was nowhere near done. Now, everything I wrote is gone. Deleted.
I really just want to cry and throw things at walls and punch things.

So unbelievably excited. 8D
I just found out that the weekend I was downtown, one of my favorite bands was too. Why am I just finding this out now?!
Now that I have Christmas money that I don’t feel guilty spending, the dress and coat that I wanted are no longer available. Bummer.

I am highly disappointed.
So, I just heard this year’s DJ Earworm mashup, the third annual in his ‘United States of Pop’ series.
It sucks.
I didn’t like the 2007 one, because I didn’t like many of the original songs. In 2008, I enjoyed probably just over half of the originals, but I loved the final mashup. 2009 was just a giant disappointment. I liked most of the original songs, and I...
Ohno.
It’s starting again. I can feel it.
How can this be? With how great things have been lately and the promise of the next two weeks…
Why is this happening?
I still feel great, really happy…but I can feel it starting again.
I wish I knew how to stop it.

Oh my gosh. Fantastic Christmas! I mean, Christmas is always fantastic, but this is probably the best one in a few years.
I love Grant’s fiance. Love her. She’s really cool, and I’m so happy for them. I met her before, but this was the first time I got to talk to her really. They’re having a renaissance themed wedding and she is hand-making all the outfits in the wedding...

Interesting fact about me #5
I am right-handed, and I do almost everything right-handedly. However, I cut with my left hand, as in that is where I hold my knife. I have been told countless times that I’m doing it backwards; however, I think this has less to do with which hand I cut with, but more to do with the fact that I don’t trust my left hand to put a fork into my mouth and not other parts of my face.

Interesting fact about me #3
I have a chronic skin disease. It can show up anywhere on my skin, any time, go away, and come back as it pleases. I usually tell people it’s not a big deal, but it really looks, itches, and hurts worse than almost anything else I’ve felt.

I just recorded a video tutorial on how to wrap presents for my friend Mark.
I am actually really good at this. Maybe I will be a successful teacher someday….

Dear Criminal Minds,
Please do not play songs that I have a history with at the end of an already-emotional episode. It will just make me over-emotional and cry-y fashooo.
