Year's end meme!
Dec. 17th, 2009 01:33 am01. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Studied abroad; met my soulmates (romantic and non); rode a camel; climbed a dune; rolled down a hill in Scotland; made out with a gay boy... this list could go on and on...
02. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Didn't make resolutions last year, but I did have areas of focus that I focused the HELL out of! :D Already set some goals for next year!
03. Did anyone close to you give birth?

It is really amazing how quickly this all came together for me. I know it's not like I didn't make it happen, but it was just so much... I don't know. I will never be able to forget the feeling in my stomach when I accidentally walked into that Study Abroad Fair, like I had a third hand actually reaching out from my solar plexus toward the UK.
I know that amazing things are going to happen while I'm abroad- it's just this ineffable, incredible knowledge in my bones- and I am so wonderfully grateful for this opportunity that it brings tears to my eyes sometimes- and if you know me, you know I'm not big on the whole crying thing. But it's really and truly just... literally awesome. :O (<-- awe face)
BTW I fully expect a welcome-home committee waiting for me at the airport ;p I'll be feeling needy, I'm sure!

A Plea for Music
Nov. 28th, 2008 04:29 pmHello all you awesome people on my friends list!
I am in desperate need of new music. I like a lot of stuff- I'm willing to give an album several listen-to's before I dismiss it- and about the only stuff I don't like is anything overly negative or needlessly violent. Plus, poor musicianship makes me cringe (I can hear pitch fluctuations within 1/50th of a half-step).
So, any suggestions?
Thanks!
