January 2011
I have champagne
Better get dressed and go out.
The only important thing to do on New Years really is to hit that 12am mark.
That'll teach me
to insist I work my schedule.
It’s OK. Theres still plenty of time.
December 2010
I remembered
what I was doing 3 New Years Eves ago.
It was too terrible to remember.
I got snowed out of my road trip to see Electric Six play their hometown of Detroit.
(which btw theyre doing again tonight if you’re in the area)
Ended up with this creepy dude who called me last minute to go out.
Shoulda known that was a bad idea.
He wasn’t creepy till we got out.
Then he was totally...
My new years resolution
was going to be to find out what the hell it is I’m allergic to.
I seem to have it narrowed down to a chemical common in moisturizers, makeup and possibly conditioner. Strangely enough, it is not fragrance or pigment.
I just ordered a bunch of natural soaps and moisturizer samples from the Chagrin Valley Soap and Craft Company instead. It’s cheaper than the co-pay at the...

Last Year
I spent New Year’s Eve dancing with a guy I didn’t know who smelled of White Castles, living in fear that he might try to kiss me with his onion breath. He never did.
The year before I didn’t even try.
Stayed in packing for my move to Columbus on the 3rd which was a better new start than counting down to midnight I thought.
The year before that I don’t even remember...
New Year's Eve
Still haven’t found “THE THING” to do tomorrow.
There might not be one.
I’m kind of OK with that so long as I don’t have to go to work in the morning.
My last boyfriend was a hot hot jerk.
My new guy may not be as hot but he’s also not as jerky.
which is probably a lot more important.

Dawn: What are you doing for New Years Eve?
Coworker: I'll be in church praising the lord.
Dawn: HaHaHa
Coworker: ...
Dawn: Oh! You were serious!
Posted a pic of my cat
Since he doesn’t look orange and blurry no one “liked” it.

Catching up
on things that need to be caught up on.
Not to mention attempting to live a life that provides people around me some sort of anonymity.
My tumblring is suffering for it.

I had a migraine?
I never get migraines hardly ever anymore. I get them when I bake with chocolate and when I’m stressed. I’ve been way more stressed than this for like months now… I hope it wasnt the Christmas drinking that brought that on. Cause I intend to do some New Years Eve drinking coming up here real quick.

Gotta work tomorrow
Enjoyed this little taste of freedom.
Glad this one isn’t a full work-week either.
New Years Eve Sucks
Dawn: We should come up with something to do for New Years. You've got someone to kiss at midnight this year. That almost never happens to me.
New Guy: Yeah me too. You're right.
Dawn: You don't have to be all... bahhh... New Years Eve Sucks.... bahhh... this year.
New Guy: Can I still be like that anyway?

My Best Friend from High School
Just after I summed up my 2010 in both long and short forms, my phone rang and I ended up chatting with my best friend from high school and catching up for several hours.
Discussion ranged from how “kids today” are in their early 30’s to us, How thankful we are that girls didn’t pretend to be lesbians to impress guys when were young so that we didn’t have to make...
The Mayfly Project: My 2010 in 24 words
New apartment, LOST ended, assigned new job sucked, drunken summer, found another, Rock and Roll Road trips, done with RTB, Lucy died, new kitty.
2010: The long version
Can’t sum up my year in 24 words without taking a minute to look back and remember all the things I’ve done and been through. I did a lot of cool stuff but I lost almost all the vestiges of my life before I moved to Columbus 2 years ago at the beginning of January. In fact I lost almost all of the vestiges of my life when I first moved here too for that matter.
I started out 2010...
I love socks!
New Guy: Hi! I'm back from Christmas with my family, thought I'd give you a phone call.
Dawn: Oh hi! You just woke me from my traditional Christmas nap. How was it?
New Guy: It was Christmas with the family. It is what it is.
Dawn: Did you get socks?
New Guy: I got socks!
Dawn: I LOVE socks! That's so awesome that Christians have a holiday just for socks.
New Guy: I got just the socks I wanted.
Dawn: Jews have a holiday just for eating fried food, but I think I'd rather get socks.
New Guy: I eat fried food all year round.
Dawn: So we're all done now?
New Guy: No there's still New Year's Eve.

My plans for the rest of Christmas
include Macaroni and Cheese, Sons of Anarchy and watching The Flash jump on top of Oreo repeatedly because no matter how much she hisses at him and walks away, he still seems to think she wants to play with him.
I hate
all the tumblr memes these days.
There. I said it.
