that said, here are my 2010 new years resolutions!!!
1. go to the rainforest
2. find a band who needs a saw player (obviously join said band)
3. get my DONA (doula) certification
4. spend a weekend in portland
5. go to canada
6. learn basic construction skillz
7. write one letter every week
8. take a real vacation
9. ride bike to capitol hill
10. move out of wallingford/north seattle
11. read more...
12. take a burlesque class
13. take a spanish class
14. memorize every country on world map
15. stop buying cigarettes
totally reasonable list, no? i especially like it because i've already finished #1 & #8, and i'm on my way to #11 (which is subjective, even though i said i wouldn't do that anymore...) & #12.
the year started off a bit shaky. i'll spare you the details, but it involved a lot of crying, fake eyelashes, and spending midnight in line alone at the bar, balloons falling from the ceiling, with a stranger named george who had pity on me and bought me a shot of whiskey while everyone around us hugged, kissed, and sang auld lang syne.
since then, things have drastically improved and i have a good feeling about the year. i finally went on an actual vacation. watched salmon spawn in the hoh rainforest, sat in the hollow trunk of a giant tree, saw real vampires in forks (whose tourism has increased 600% since the twilight books were published!!), skinnydipped in the pacific at midnight, climbed a giant sand dune, drank scotch with ben's parents, maybe got stung by a dead jellyfish, went to the tillamook cheese factory, and read 3.5 books.
i was away long enough to realize that i'm not used to spending time with just boys, i am a shameless cat lady, and it's hard to go an entire week without bad romance.
