one half wants me to go, one half wants me to stay

faves of 2004

resolution: try new things.
in fact, i think i like it so much, ill keep it as a resolution. im very happy that i went to my first club, swung at the batting cages, went back into the ocean after an 11 year hiatus, drove around getting lost, and so much more!

hangout spot: beach
this year, the beach and i got closer, especially because of my daytime excursions and swims/wadings.

movie in theatre: garden state
i thoroughly enjoyed the main message: everything is apart of life and its better to be living through all the crap and joy than to be numb. besides, the soundtrack was amazing.

album: transatlanticism by death cab for cutie
this album described how i felt this year. musically it was compelling. lyrically it was powerful.

movie on dvd: eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
what can i say? i am a sucker for vulnerability and this movie was pouring with fragility and frailty. dizzily enthralling.

adventure: lisa k's birthday surprise
wouldn't you love getting lost on the 91 only to wind up somewhere for a few minutes in death silence just to rush back to a carl's jr to change for a surprise dinner? exactly.

purchase: white jack purcell's for $5.99.
duh!

book: dont sweat the small stuff
reminds me to be simple. flexible.

vacation/trip: to the bay area in may
it was the only trip i completed. doh!

drink: slurpee/fruity breezy thing at d&B's
slurpees make me happy because they remind me of the joys of childhood. and that drink was tasty from d&b's. if only i could remember what it was.

eat: tiramisu from steamer's cafe
yummy. best ive ever had.

holiday: valentine's day/memorial day weekend
vday: i was surprised out of my backpack after my spanish class. mday: it was interesting. and scary. and sweet.

class: conflict resolution
so applicable to life. so helpful.

lesson learned: communication takes courage
a lot of it!

ill be back later. i have a date with a sassy girl!

this fire is out of control
