Most awesome overheard cell phone conversation ever, spoken by the guy walking behind me in the library parking lot today:
"If you're such a Christian, why are you badmouthing people? Why are you being such a brat? You're supposed to be a big Christian and all you're doing is running your mouth about people. If you're such a Christian, why do you watch Desperate Housewives? Why do you watch Grey's Anatomy? Why are you having premarital sex? Because you're just like most Christians: you're full of it. 'Ooooh, come to my church, we have a rock band and a coffee bar!' If I want coffee, I'll go to Starbucks. Is this a church or a social event? You people are so full of it. I don't need God; I have a Harvard education."
Agree or disagree with his points, it was still hilarious.

A full year late
Well, I don't have much to say except that my graduation process is, at long last, in full swing. I have registered for, set up, and paid for my practicum. I have filled out my graduation application, which is due by Friday (thanks Erica!). I haven't mailed it yet, but I am hoping I can fax it from work. If not I will mail it on Wednesday, and then all I'll have to do is my actual practicum, which starts on Thursday. It looks like I may get a degree after all. I'm sure I would have made a good Pizza Hut employee/stripper (the only two careers you can have if you drop out of library school), but I'm gonna stick with this for a while and see where it takes me.

And our star shines like a miracle
Happy new year!
Well I rang in '08 last night with a bunch of awesome people and the perfect amount of liquor (silly-drunk earlier on but sobered up by bedtime). It really was the perfect end to a year that has been quite good to me, and it hopefully set the pace for a year that will be even better. I am looking forward to a couple of vacations this year and to moving in with Bill at the end of the summer, and aside from that all I can hope is that I get to spend as much time as possible with the people who make me laugh until I [insert embarrassing noise here].
Here are my top five highlights of 2007:
5. Getting Promoted - I was afraid it would never happen, but I did in fact get a promotion, and I'm much happier now than I was in my old position. Now I can look forward to my next new job, which will hopefully be post-graduation in May.
4. Feist Concert - I had a blast at this show, that's really all there is to it.
3. The Birthday Party - My mom: "Your birthday party?" Me: "No, mom, THE birthday party." I got momentously tipsy, got cake smashed all over me, and danced till I was literally red in the face. It was quite a celebration for my two favorite Fucking Birthday Twins of all time.
2. Nickel Creek Concert - I had waited forever to see Nickel Creek live, and I finally got my chance this summer at their Farewell for Now Tour (basically the See Us Now Or Live With The Regret Forever tour). I had second-row seats (OMG!!1!) and somehow, miraculously, it didn't thunderstorm on us despite the bajillion degree weather with like 100% humidity. It was quite the evening, and the first thing I have ever gotten to cross off my "to do before I die" list. Yay!
1. San Diego Trip - San Diego was a great place to visit. We managed to squeeze in SO many activities and restaurants, and the weather was amazing. I was stoked to get to spend so many days hanging out with Bill, and I felt like we were super grown-up flying across the country by ourselves and renting our own car and whatnot. Not to mention flying out on the cheap thanks to Skybus. The whole thing was just absolutely perfect, I don't even know what to say.
So there's my list. There were a million other great moments of course, and I'm thankful for all of them. I honestly have NO idea what 2008 has in store for me or where I will be a year from now. I hope that I'm happy, and I hope that you are too. Thanks for hangin' with me.
