As I look back on 2007, it hasn't been all to bad. I went to a lot of concerts a few plays. Met some fantastic new friends. Nothing much in the relationship department this entire year. Their were a few encounters with guys, dates, drunken hookups, or cool people I met. Some of them forgettable none of them entirely too regrettable. Had an affair. Not much of one. Next time I make sure the guy is rich and married so I can use blackmail

I went to School for radio. I felt like I spent a lot of money, for something that I have no interest pursuing. However my practicum with SONiC 102.9 and doing the intern army thing was a great time. I also learned about how much I LOVE doing promotional work.

I drank so much coffee and a truck loads of tea in random cafs reading books writing notes in my note book or attempting the crossword puzzle. I read SO many different books this year but the ones that Stand out are
-The Brain That Changes Itself
-The Petty Details of So and So's Life
-The Way The Crow Flies
-Fall On Your Knees
-A Complicated Kindness
-The Historian
I read more, but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

So I got to rock out a lot. Mostly because of the intern army gig. Those orange jumpsuits are Good Times squared! So these are the ones I went too not necessarily in any kind of order
-Meatloaf(a friend from Fort Mac, wimped out asking a girl he liked to go, I just saw him randomly after work and he said if I wanted to go. Who was I to say no?)
