JANUARY 2006
1. Who kissed you on new years?
Wow, Tom did.  Surprising how much can change in a year...

2. Did you have a new year's resolution this year?
I'm sure I did.  I make some every year and I sometimes follow through on them, but rarely because I actually was like, "Yes, I must do this because I said so in January."

3. Does it snow where you live?
Yes, thank God.  I heart the snow like none other.

4. Do you like hot chocolate?
Um, possibly more than normal people should.

5. Have you ever been to Times Square to watch the ball drop?
No, but it would be cool to see that one day.


FEBRUARY
1. Who was your Valentine?
Cara!  The best Valentine ever!  We went to the Musicbox and saw Casablanca.

2. When you were little, did you buy valentines for your whole class?
Fuck yeah!  Didn't everyone?

3. Do you care if the groundhog sees its shadow or not?
Not really, either way it doesn't matter.  It'll still be cold come April.


MARCH
1. Are you Irish?
25% so.

2. Do you wear green on St. Patty's Day?
I do to avoid being punched.

3. What did you do for St. Patty's Day in 2006?
Uh, I think I went home and ate corned beef sangwiches with my dad, watched a movie, and tried to finish a Guiness but failed.

4. Are you happy when winter is pretty much over?
Haha, winter's never over in Chicago.


APRIL
1. Do you like the rain?
I love the rain because then I get to wear galoshes and step in puddles without fear.

2. Did you play an April fool's joke on anyone this year?
Uh, not really no.  At least I don't think so.

3. Do you get tons of candy on Easter?
No, I don't think we did anything except eat a fabulous ham.

4. Do you celebrate 4/20?
No...why, should I be celebrating?  I think enough people celebrate 4/20 everyday, which goes to my own celebration points.  You know, they bleed over or something.

5. Do you love the month of April?
Eh, it's over-rated.


MAY
1. What is your favorite flower?
Well since I'm a girl, roses, but also lilies and orchids.

2. Do you like the spring?
Kind of...I prefer fall over spring for a transitional month.

3. Finish the phrase "April showers":
Create problems in May, because May feels the need to one-up April.

4. What is the first color you think of when you think of Spring?
Lilac purple...why is that?


JUNE
1. What year did/will you graduate from high school?
2005 baby!

2. Did you do anything fun during this month?
Um...you know, I'm not sure.  I'm sure I did.  I think I went to the Eagles of Death Metal concert in June...


JULY
1. What did you do on the Fourth of July?
I went to Cory's family's party, then beelined to Chicago and had an awesome dinner with Jordan and watched everyone's fireworks from his window.

2. Did you go on any vacations during this month?
I think I went to Long Beach, NJ in July for my uncle's wedding.

I at least attempted to.


AUGUST
1. Did you do anything special at the end of your summer?
Fucking Lollapalooza!

2. What was your favorite summer memory of '06?
Even though this doesn't pertain to my life right now, being proposed to by Jordan.  Just that moment was so....picturesque.

3. Did you have a sunburn?
Yes.  I got it from going to the beach every day when we were at Long Beach.

4. Do you go to the beach a lot?
Not really in an overall sense.

1. Did you attend school/college in '06?
Columbia College, the finest institution around.

Well it was an awesome day at work, I'll tell you that.

3. Have you ever been kissed under mistletoe?
Nope, although I've tried to be many a time.

4. Get anything special last year?
For Chirstmas?  Uh, I got a bunch of movies, I remember that much.  I'm sure I got something really cool, but I can't remember.  Probably because it was too cool for comfort.

5. Want anything special this year?
External speakers would be awesome so that I won't have to use these crappy laptop ones.  Or a button-making machine, so I can be cool with all my buttons.

6. Do you like cold weather?
Hell yeah!  I just don't like being unprepared for cold weather.

So, I have a lot of band-relating things coming up that are all extremely exciting.

Westfield is playing a show December 17th with Wait for Vega and everone's coming!  There's going to be strippers and llamas and unicorns and everything!  No seriously, everyone should go because I've wired their houses with explosives and will blow up the house of anyone who doesn't come.

Real Gentlemen are recording a show for Columbia College (with the help of the talented Cody) on December 5th and are recording their demo on January 28.  We'll most likely be selling copies of the demo soon for $5 a pop.

Huzzah for band-niss!

So, it's almost 3 in the morning and I'm bored, so I'm writing this pointless and rambling blog entry. 

At the moment, I'm watching My Best Friend's Wedding.  I heart that movie!  I want an awesome gay British friend/co-worker and then we can hang out and do fun things like attempt to break up my former love's wedding.  Except I don't think I would do that to anyone.  I'm not like that.

I'm going to bed because I have band practice tomorrow morning.  Yippee!

So yeah, this is my MySpace.  I've finally succumbed to it and gotten one.  So sad for me.  I fought the good fight for so long.  Oh well, it doesn't seem too terrible.
