Yesterday I turned 22 (+5). OK, OK fine. I turned 27. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate my 27th birthday with me!!! It was definitely a day filled with the three things a woman wants most: chocolate, wine, and naked men!!! Here's how...
Today was our department's Christmas party. Yes, yes, I know that Christmas was a while gone by now, but we're busy people damnit. So a bit after noon we took the rest of the work day off and headed to Quartino for lunch. We had three...
2007 was both the best and worst year you could ever imagine. OK, so definitely not the worst year ever, but at the same time I feel kind of shitty that I didn’t suck it up and accomplish the two biggest things on my list. I’m still living with the parents and I’m still single 🙁 Other than that though I had one of the most amazingly awesome years you could ever imagine! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make my year so sweet! Highlights definitely include Nadia and Bryan’s wedding, the Illinois road trip, Warped Tour exhibit at the Rock Hall, the Krystal Square Off, meeting Kurt Halsey (and him recognizing me!), and meeting Pat Bertoletti (and him remembering me!). Oh! And the Kwik-e-Mart…and my birthday…and skiing…and cicadas…and well…I guess a whole lot more!
Despite the fact that this year I also completed my masters in writing, I think i probably can sum up the year best in the 10,328 photos I took…
(Don’t worry, I didn’t really post here all 10,328 photos. But sorry they go so fast, I had too many!)
For those brave ones, below the cut is a recap of my “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” 100 in 2007!!!
In the last month of 2007, I completed eight more things on my list of 100 things to do in 2007, bringing the grand total for the year to 55 and surpassing my goal of doing half! I had wanted to try and shove a...
I think I am in contention for the worst gingerbread house ever made. See, I lack the two qualities necessary to succeed in the gingerbread house making world: patience and precision. My dough was too crumbly. I didn't bother to try to make even, straight pieces....
My November progress towards my list of 100 goals for 2007. 28. See at least 3 plays When did I get so laxidasical about theatre? It took me eleven months, but in November I saw House's "The Nutcracker" and "The Sparrow." Two down, one to go. 30. See...
What do you get when you put two scaredy cats on top of the Sears Tower, the tallest building in the United States??? A bit over a year ago I was in Austria talking to CanadiaJason(eh) and he was asking me about Chicago and where I...
How did I do this month on my list of things to do in 2007? General 18. Go to Bromann Park I have a park?!?!?! 20. Go to a haunted house Best haunted house ever. Arts 24. See Blue Man Group Blue Man Group is still as awesome as ever...
Yes, we drove ten hours to Chattanooga and ten hours back to Chicago to watch people eat hamburgers for eight minutes. Yes, we are weird and wacky and insane. Yes, it was totally worth it to see the Krystal Square Off IV hamburger eating contest...
I woke up at 5am on Saturday morning surprisingly awake. I think it was kind of like when you're a kid how you can wake up on Christmas morning before anyone else and be completely ready to go. Except instead of waiting for Santa Claus...
