A Year in Bullet Points

I am nearing the end of my 25th year of life. Here are some things that happened during it. I:
  • Lost as much weight as I gained
  • Grew at least three more inches of hair
  • Experiences some proliferation of gray hair
  • Grew zero inches in height
  • Cut my thumb to the point of scar
  • Traveled across the country twice
  • Got all As
  • Saved the life of a kitten
  • “Fell in love all over again” (Ross’s words) at least twice
  • Got a ridiculously high score in Wanted
  • Got a raise
  • Made out in three new states!
  • Wrote a Masters thesis
  • Laughed at an 11 year old when he farted in class
  • Gained at least 3 (possibly 4) new cousins
  • Completely abandoned my yoga practice (shame on me!)
  • Voted in two elections
  • Met and fell in love with San Francisco
  • Never started trying to learn how to play the guitar
  • Saw the best live show of my life (Page France)
  • Saw the worst movie ever (Thumbsucker)
  • Survived a ridiculously inappropriate situation at work
  • Wrote an article about subversive teaching I can probably never admit to in a job interview
  • Got called a dirty Communist (by my boyfriend – repeatedly)
  • Made some new friends
  • Rekindled my love affair with knitting
  • Learned to hate Ronald Regan
  • Threw jellyfish at children
  • Survived another year is soulless suburbia
  • Continued to lead a happy and fulfilling life.

When did Ross say fall in love all over again? Was he talking about Nintendo?

Sounds like a busy year! I'm glad that 25 was good to you--maybe that means it'll be good to me.
