i never keep new year's resolution. come to think of it, i never even proclaim any that i don't keep because i know i won't keep them, so why bother? well, that is about to change ( i hope) i really have a lot to look foward to in 2007. here is the short list: 1. a busy new quarter at school to include: dj training (starting tomorrow! eek! wish me luck!) a pop culture class, a photo class, a music class, and a radio class. also,at san jose city: a tap class!!! 2. one of my best friends is getting married, and i'm the maid of honor, so i want to look gooooood. 3. a change in zip code may be on the horizion. 4. eliminating the debt that has been crushing my freedom. 5. i'm going to see justin timberlake on janunary 11th!!!!!!!!! 2006 is ova! a killer year both in good and bad ways, but emotionally, i welcome it's end. i hear that how you spend your new year's eve is a reflecttion of the year to come. i will be in san francisco partying with good friends, and

google tells us what "may is...."

1) national get caught reading month 2) the real deal 3) aquitted of all charges 4) so weird she's not even in the town of strangeville--she's the queen 5) well, cute may is my friend. she appeared to me out of nowhere in a small black box theatre and told me her name was tobi. she has been there for over ten years. during the highest highs, the lowest lows, the strangest, the geekiest, the scariest, the silliest. she has been there through it all, and now it's come time for her to spread her wings. a new city, a new state, a new home. but i know she will remain the same may. so good luck my darling To-May...or is it May-bi? i will miss you and our pop culture geek out festivals :) "The New Year" So this is the new year. And i don't feel any different. The clanking of crystal Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

some friends and i braved the cold (it was like, 50 degrees out. for california, that's cold )on friday night to walk around christmas in the park in downtown san jose. basically, everyone and their grandmother decorates a tree and they have all these cheesy, slightly creepy, outdated, anamatronic displays, not to mention overpriced food and novelty items. However, it's a san jose tradition. it's the same thing every year, but we keep going. a friend of mine gifted me with the new amy sedaris book, i like you: hospitality under the influence . It's a guide the thowing dinner parties that i can't wait to start reading :) i finally finished the complete series of six feet under , and i am still in awe. that show has deeply affected the way i view death, and this year, i needed that. the characters and storylines drew me in completely, and the last few episodes(especially the last 10 minutes of the finale) had me sobbing. considering it's so cold, and because i a

(ps. clicking on a pic will direct you to a larger version of it) this time of the year always brings back fond memories of the best job i ever had. say what you will about working at the mall, i've never had such a fun time at work in my life. working at spencer gifts (yes, that store. the one with the funny t-shirts that everyone finds impossible not to read out loud) There were many reasons, especially between august 2001 and may 2002 that it was the greatest job in the world. 1) my boss was the coolest 2) my co-workers were so fun. we actually became friends. 3) that store is just a lot of fun. sure, it has it's not- so- fun moments (inventory, anyone?), but all in all who wouldn't like a job where you get to play all day? i guess i just want to say thanks to all my spencers peeps. i miss you guys. your legend is hard to live up to, and hopefully sometime soon, we can all get together, have a few drinks, and talk about old times :)
