I Don't Feel Any Different

The clanking of crystal.

Manhattan.
Two thousand eight. It sounds so ominous.

Let's take a moment to reflect on my two thousand seven. Look back before you look forward (etc.) I can't even remember how I rang it in. The events were as follows:

franklin ave, the cities every weekend, hot tubbing in cedars 94, taste of minnesota, dg feed, dg formal, relationship-single-faux.dating-together-not.together-single, chicago, new york, alone for spring break, watching stars, middle river, a very sweet v-day, leaderquest, the mayo clinic & a.f then banana republic then maybe the daily, jose cuervo, barbie hoes, cheap vodka (karkov, silver wolf, etc), miller high life, uv blue, xmas sweater parties, cry, cry cry,

and laughter.
