dear 2007,
i am writing to wish you good riddance. you have been a waste of a year. my 27th on this earth, and nothing redeeming about you. ok, maybe a few things.
good things that happened in 2007:
1. got a job i really like, despite that whole inflating grades thing.
2. went to savannah with jan. rad city.
3. went to costa rica with mom. rad country.
4. saw bright eyes.
5. saw brand new. twice.
6. reconnected with the man of my dreams.
reasons 2007 was a waste:
1. first year since 1995 where i was basically sexually inactive.
2. got my heart smashed by a dude i thought was a good guy.
3. became a hermit.
4. lost a job where i really liked the kids.
5. did not see sloths in costa rica.
6. ventured into the dating world and did not like the journey.
7. missed brand new. twice.
8. spent most of the year stoned so as not to have to feel.
9. rent increased.
10. cable bill increased.
11. spent valentine's day alone, but with mike.
12. lost did not return.
13. one tree hill did not return.
14. gained at least 10 lbs.
15. spent too much time feeling sorry for myself.
so, 2007.. you have really way more cons than pros. seriously. you brought me a lot of heartache and loneliness. one could argue that i brought those things upon myself, but really, you were just a sucky, sucky year. the suckiest year of my whole life. 1995 was pretty bad too, but at least i was thin and there was some sexual activity.
maybe i needed you, 2007, to grow as a human. i feel it fitting that i am sitting alone in my apartment for yr departure. i have learned to love being alone. i'm good at it. turns out all i really need are some friends, namely jan, and my gorgeous cat.
so good riddance 2007. i welcome 2008 with open arms. i'm strangely excited for it's arrival. i will start a new journal tomorrow. i will learn to budget better and save money. i'm healthy. and there is potential with a man that i respect and admire. i'm counting on 2008 to be my best year yet. and even if it isn't, it can't be worse than 2007.
goodbye. and as i said, good riddance!
