2009 was the year:

i started wearing my bangs back.

i stopped wearing make up.

i realized I mattered.

happiness mattered.

i started the long journey of having hair longer than miley cyrus. (i'm well on my way)

i blogged!!

i downloaded 6 different versions of "how he loves"

i started listening to arcade fire, the clash, MGMT, bon iver and kid cudi.

i stopped listening to chris brown. (he can not transform me.)

honey was best served with refresh tea.

i read christy miller for the fifth time.

i stopped reading cosmo.

i didn't take many photos.

i did make lots of memories.

i made new friends.

i lost old friends.

i cut an asshole out of my life cold turkey.

i only made contact with the asshole one time after cutting it out.

the farthest place i travelled was ontario. how disgusting is that?

i got over a never-ending crush.

i eventually went back to the never ending crush. (to be fair, my eyes were opened, and i was human)

kanye west became a douche.

justin beiber became the cutest thing alive. (aside from the PUGGLE PUPPY i really want)

i had my heart crushed.

i realized three days after having my heart crush that it indeed was not crushed.

i rode on a boys motorcycle other than my dads. ohlala

i learned to watch my words.

i got an iphone. (all that money i saved from not buying makeup)

i wore heels all the time.

i realized how stupid i am when i mixed up north and south on a map.

a lot more happened this year (obviously.) but these are what had an impact on me....or these are what i can think of at this exact time.) it was good. really good. and the next year will be good too. i'm going to do lots. and it'll be neat.

cheers.
