Looking back...

It can be odd, sometimes almost haunting, to look back on the year that has just recently escaped us. Ever since I was a young lassie...only about 8 years old, I've done an "End of the Year Review", including all random info from the previous year. Yup! ALL the deats', including my often-used slang, beloved books, magazine spreads, and random activities having taken place in my life....here we go, say hello to bits of my 2009.

January 09'

Love those Kane-esque checks...so Dorothy and Toto, but more applicable on a day other than Halloween.

Quote: "Get your kitty kats
ready for disco dancing!"
--Georgia Nichols diaries...love em'.

February 09'

 Ohh! A joke for this month! What do you call a French man in sandals??

Eh??

 Answer: Phillipe Philoppe.

 Haaahaa! That made for an entirely funny month of love...

March 09'

March was a good time. It's SPRING! It's FRESH! Nick and I celebrated our 1 YEAR! :)

Awww..and prom. Love love love it. :) We went for the beautiful 50's...and Outback Steakhouse. Hmmm. I love sweet potatoes and dancing to Lady Gaga.

April 09'

I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when April finally arrived. We had so much snow. So little fun, as the roads were constantly closed. I immediately started drooling over pastels, light fabrics, and every happy floral under the sun. Yeah! The sun! The sun wasn't available for the past 4 months...ugh.

Quote: It brought back a lot of memories - not of things I had done but of

things I failed to do, wasted hours and frusterated moments and opportunites

forever lost because time had eaten so much of my life and

I would never get it back...

--Hunter S. Thompsons, The Rum Diary

I got pretty obsessed with Thompson as I was writing my final thesis for my Philosophy class...I still look to him as a hero.

May 09'

Getting soooo ready for school to be over...REALLY ready! But even MORE ready for the new GREEN DAY cd! Ahhh! I swear, I wanted to be Mrs. Billie Joe Armstrong for a really really long time...21 Century Breakdown was absolutely amazing. Flawless. Round of applause please, for the boys.

Oh goodness. I am DYING as I read this in notebook #5...I had just found out that I had gotten into Spokane Community College for Running Start...I wrote a song about the Sasquatch, our mascot, if you can imagine.

"Yeah buddy! Imma' baby SAS-QUATCH! Imma' baby SAS-QUATCH! Imma' BAY-BEE SASSY-QUATCH!"

There's a nice dance-break after that, then a very colorful synth solo.

Ha...'quatch' is a really wonky word.

June 09'

"We are proud to be priviledged to carry

on the torch of the

National Honor Society."

Yup, that's what us nerdies chant...erm...I mean, recite, during our induction ceremony to NHS. (While holding up big candles too..very official.)

July/August 09'

This month was CRAZY with producing the summer edition of the zine. Cover by Nick! This turned out to be our biggest and most popular edition of the year. It rocked, what can I say. :) It was also crazy with Fading Anchor shows. Have I never mentioned them? Oh yeah, sorry mates, I was in a band this summer. Nick, a friend named Zack, and I all ganged up toghether as some punk-obsessed, guitar-playing teens called Fading Anchor. Loved it. A few great shows this summer...

The whole gang!

September 09'

SCHOOL! AHHHH! Now THAT'S what usually goes through my head around the fall season. That, and the fact that the VOGUE really truly does come in September! Running Start kicked off amazingly well! Lesson learned: Always bring a cardigan. Some classrooms are warm, others feel like a freezer. Lesson learned: Don't wear heels when its disgustingly rainy outside. Cold feet...literally. Frozen.

I really started to develop my....erm...'vision'...during the days I was in college. Seeing that mass of students with completely unique styles was amazing. Love it.

And that's where it all began. The blog. Flower Pony*. Bingo bango.  Here I am today.
