2010: A Review

No real complaints. I read over 20 books which is at least 8 more than the book a month resolution I made.

I tried bikram yoga, which I gave up on after two sessions in my week trial, but I got a great deal on 25 sessions for the next three months so there's that.

I didn't get a tattoo, but I have decided on what I'm getting and I figure a year to mull over it, isn't the worst thing I could do.

There's also multiple other things that I won't go into, but lets just say I pushed the boundaries of my comfort levels, including, but not limited to getting black out-puking-pass out drunk on two different occasions. [Although for some I'm sure that's just old hat]

I'm starting 2011 rather broke, but not something to worry about for the time being. I do want to get a tattoo, and I do want to write a story than a notebook of thoughts [although I have almost reached 18,000 words in that regard].

However, I'm not going to start the year proclaiming that 2011 is going to be the best year ever! [multiple exclamation marks]. That is fruitless. I want 2011 to be a good year, as much as anyone wants the next year to be a 'good' year, but that isn't how it works. It's like wanting to have the 'best life ever'. It's just not going to happen without a little bumps on the road. There are good days and bad days, and how you learn to deal with the bad mixed with the good marks your feelings about it.

Looking on 2010, there are plenty of moments that I want to remember, and many I would rather not. But I've learned to make a funny story out of my weaker times [passing out on my birthday for one]. I could also say that this year has been more stressful than I would have liked and for that I'm happy to see it go as much as I'm going to miss it.

So, I started last year off kissing four boys and ending the night in a strip club. This year I spent it with some old friends and although a bit tipsy from the wine, still content.

2011 will be as good as I let it be.

  1. Has your former missionary boyfriend returned, and if so, are the two of you still friends?

  2. He has, and I saw him briefly so he could get his things. I'd say we're friends in the loosest form of the word, but now he's going to school in Alberta.

    And although it kind of sucks, I was reminded of the reasons why I broke up with him in the first place, which was infuriating, so that might make a friendship rather difficult.
