2010 Recap... mostly thank yous.
This was the most polar year of my life, and after being inspired by Valorie’s post, I’m going to try to recap it.
Chapter 1. For those who know me, know the gist of the story.
I was the very definition of heartbroken. It took months of taking positive inventory of my life to feel better. In that time I met people who restored my faith in humanity, and fortunately for me, none of them were rapey. Michael C, Heather, my parents, the girls, And then there was Shalom…
He is the very reason I am eternally grateful for tumblr. He was pretty instrumental in getting me back on my feet through constant patient reaffirmation that things will get better. He is the definition of a great friend… and since we have established we are bizarro world versions of each other, I’m really saying I’m a great friend. Fuck you shalom, I’m awesome.
Chapter 2. I decided to say yes to everything thrown my way. I took a lot of chances that could have ended up in a shallow grave in the San Bernadino mountains (next to the good witches bakery), but instead ended up meeting slew of new people I would have never met otherwise.
Chapter 3. Valorie! We got along on the internet AND in person… which is strange since I don’t get along with anyone so effortlessly, let alone another girl. Shortly after meeting in San Francisco came Disneyland, Comic Con, San Diego, and Labor Day weekend watching the horror of ICP’s Big Money Hustlas. She’s an awesome person and I’m very happy she’s finding the same luck at meeting new people who aren’t assholes. Although know that any of them cross her, I will have to kill them.
Chapter 4. … and then we have Jay. This year was going great on its own, but Jay is the icing on the cake. I inexplicably found myself in a relationship with a guy who makes me feel stupidly in love every day. A guy who with each passing day makes me feel like I’ve found the guy. For that reason, I happily deal with the time zones and distance… and will wait patiently for the day he ends up here so I can scratch his back and tell him I love him in person on a daily basis.
I’ve learned a lot this year… and I found that being positive and taking chances has helped me the most. Also soaking a white sweatshirt in Oxiclean overnight will remove a wine stain. Also Albuquerque is a shithole.
The end.
