Holidays and the year in review Thursday, January 1, 2009

Highlights of Christmas/New Years:

• Gifts and cards sent to many friends far away
• An epic journey to Port Townsend
• A mellow Christmas with Rob's family
• Winning the Milk soundtrack on Christmas day because I knew that James Franco was in Pineapple Express, just prior to seeing Milk.
• An odd, late Christmas with my family
• A couple of days at home in Beaverton with Rob, PJ and Cubby
• Another, less epic drive to Port Townsend on December 30th
• A windstorm and power outage viewed from what felt like the top of Port Townsend
• New friends
• New Years Eve bonfire and explosives
• Not much sleep New Years night
• A very tired morning and ride back to Portland today

2008 feels like it passed really quickly, but I don't think it actually did. I took my last couple terms of college, I graduated. Rob and I rebuilt our relationship from the ridiculousness that was Budapest, we moved in together and moved again. I had a couple jobs, I didn't get fired from any jobs. I made some new friends, I lost touch with some old friends. I made a lot of art, and I had a lot of new experiences. I planned a con.

I think 2009 is going to be good. It's looking good so far. I'm excited.
