It’s a new year. 2006 was something I didn’t just get through, I survived it. And I’m really proud of that. 2007 here we come:

1) I will make more intelligent choices and think things through more than I usually do.
2) I will quit smoking if it kills me.
3) I will stick with my personal trainer until I have the body I want.
4) I will save some money for god’s sake.
5) I will have great sex.

07 will be a year of freedom for me. I am finally growing up. I no longer need to be in a relationship. I am making the money I need to live and pay bills and rent. I am becoming more responsible. I am appreciating my family more. I am becoming more intelligent and I will use it wisely. I finally have a realistic vision of who I really am and how others see me. I am dealing with my problems in a healthy manner, and I am no longer afraid of a little pain in order to serve what’s best for everyone (Jesus, look out). I know what I want as an artist, and I know what I don’t want or need, and I know the difference. I’m 26 and already in control of my own life. These are the things that will propel me through the new year and bring me into adulthood, and will allow me to leave an era of my life behind that no longer serves my purposes. Hacha. There it is, and here we go!

Time to reflect!!

Drinking Buddy of The Year?
You’re kidding right! Of COURSE it’s Harmony! Adam and/or Brad could be if they weren’t pussies, though. heheh

Lifetime service award – Longest friend
Harmony. She never ceases to inspire me, push me, love me, impress me, guide me, trust me, drink with me, and put up with me.

High Point of the year?
Probably Thrill Me and/or Somebody Loves Me

Low point of the year?
I have had a LOT this year… but I think the absolute lowest was over the summer during The Breakup. God that was HORRIBLE. Just got dumped by someone I put myself in the financial and emotional poorhouse over and stuck with the whole rent, had NO money, had NO anti depressants, drank 24/7, started smoking again, cried alot, screamed a lot, and the ex was spreading awful lies about me to EVERYONE he met (still does), and lapsed into Self-Pity mode, which I DESPISE. I suppose it has to be good character research for SOMETHING though!

Best holiday?
Probably July 4th.. during a rough time, yes, BUT I got to see my best friend from ohio and go with her and Harmony to Navy Pier ALL DAY and then went on the Booze Cruise that night! It was truly a beautiful day that ended perfectly and I just wish i had enjoyed it more fully.

Anthem for 2006?
I Will Survive – god this entire year was all about survival.

Any regrets?
I regret getting evicted.
I regret not being honest with myself.
I regret not paying my mobster landlord for 3 months.
I regret the whole Adam/Daniela situation that I put us in.
I regret getting back together with my boyfriend. We love each other but it will never work and we knew that the first time we broke up.
I regret starting to smoke again.
…and one or two other things that I’m not going into :)

Best Night out?
I agree with Harm on this one. It was our shopping spree day followed by a wonderful dinner and a night of drinking with great friends.

Worst Night out?
That night Adam made me eat a mayonaisse-and-peanut-butter sandwich.

Best Band?
Foiled Again. I love those guys!

Best concert?
I probably enjoyed Karen Mason’s Davenports concert more than anything.

Best New Relationship/Friend?
Jess Godwin

Best decision made all year?
Finally ending the destructive relationship for good.

Best new album that you have got?
Rufus Wainwright’s CDs

Most proud moment?
A tie – Going to see Somebody Loves Me at Columbia, and opening night of Thrill Me.

Most reliable person?
Harmony by far.

Best job of the year?
Technical Director at Davenport’s

Best Film?
Devil Wears Prada

Favorite quote of the year?
Becky stole all the directions so no one can go home. She doesn’t want any of us to leave!

Rate 2006 on a scale of 1-10(best)
Winter – 5
Spring – 2
Summer – 1
Fall – 2
Winter – 3

Plans for 07?
Get in shape, quit smoking, Blue Moon, a whole new life.

Best Vacation?
Ohio for Thanksgiving.

Worst Vacation?
Ohio for Thanksgiving.
