It's New Year's Eve ..day! The end of 2008..wow. What a year. I guess what stands out to me most this year would have to be my multiple trips to the USA- to the Gorge, Ellensburg, and Ephrata; to Seattle, twice! I saw Chiodos as usual, and Escape The Fate. Max Green walked right in front of me @ Sodo, but I wasn't prepared to say anything so I just watched him walk by. (He's short!) I fell in love with Seattle. Yes, it's towering, and tall, and nothing like our spacey downtown Vancouver, but the vibe is so different. I love Pike Place Market, the boho feel of the promenadelong the water.. Yep. Seattle is great. I love Washington, really. It feels like home. It's green and the air is fresh, and it's not as compact and my northern west coast. On another note, I'm almost finished reading New Moon. It's not as slow as I anticipated, from what I was told. True, Edward is physically gone for most of the story, but when he rejoins.. It's perfect. This story will make you fall in love, and write and speak differently, and wish you were inhuman lol, and love ten times harder. It's so awesome. SO! In light of my near-finished reading of the second book in the Twilight saga, here is a list of the full and new moons for 2009, courtesy of [link]

Okay, there's a 2010 there too. Wow, the Olympics are coming fast. So, my plans tonight: don't break my ass walking home. Pick up noise makers and party hats, get Kahlua and champagne, and edibles. I'm excited to ring in the new year. I haven't decided on my resolution(s) though.

Let me give it a shot:
1. Let go. Let my mom be as she is, try not to validate her.
2. Get my FREAKIN N!! God, how I need my liscence.
3. Travel more. (Road trips!) NOTE: This requires the N.
4. Tentative: get a new tattoo?
5. Exercise more. Yoga + something else, or more yoga, but still, something else too.
I think I might add to this later, but this was a good place to start.

Things to look forward to in 2009:
Aug- Warped Tour!
Nov- New Moon movie!
..can't think of much else so far.

Happy new year!
