2011 recap

Things have been going so well! I have been busy busy busy with work, school, hangouts with friends, trips out of town, that I haven't really had a chance to recap 2011, which was, hands down, the best year of my adult life so far. Returning to STL was by far the best choice. I am happy here, but I am still on track to achieve perpetual summertime.

2011 +

30th bday celebrations with Chicago friends, then trip to Vegas with Karen for OWTH

Road trip to Louisville with Chi party animals and all around great friends for Krazy Fest.

Crazy party weekend in Chi for Marked Men Memorial Day weekend.

Bought a racing bike. It is a male frame, but I refer to her in the female, and her name is "Ex-Girlfriend."

July 4th party weekend in MPLS. Including pedaling around the city, swimming in lakes with Sam, drinking in private under bridges, awesome shows, delicious veg food.

THE GREAT EAST COAST ADVENTURE! Susan and Roy visit friends and family in DC, Philly, and NYC.

San Diego for AFV. I think I'm in love! Perpetual summertime, you will be mine!

Fest X. Nothing more needs to be said. Before I left to go to the airport, I told the other office girls, "If I die in the streets of Gainesville, I want you all to know that I was happy and I regret nothing!" HAHAHAHAHA!

Cincinnati for a cray NYE show at Southgate House. I pray there is not footage/pics of me dancing and singing like an idiot up by the stage posted online somewhere. I woke up beer-soaked, bruised, and my glasses gone. And I wouldn't have had it any other way.

2011 -

Two minor anxiety attacks in the summer. But I got over it. And I GOT OVER IT!!

Wrecked on Ex-Girlfriend on Thursday, August 8th. Dislocated elbow and two broken arm bones. Was in a crazy bionic arm brace for 8 weeks, gnarly bruises, but I'm all healed.


2012 has already started off with a bang.

On the drive home to STL, stopped in Louisville and got delicious vegan brunch buffet, went to see a great show at Firebird, hooked up with Lars.

Have hung out with Lars a few times since. Its nice.

And I have things to which I am already looking forward:

Going to MPLS this coming weekend (because I'm crazy!) for a sweet 30th birthday celebration.

Then I'm going to PDX for an animation showcase and to visit a new city and meet up with old friends.

Then I plan on going to Chi for my bday.

I have also been lifting and training a lot. I am going to start racing when the season opens in March. Will go sign up at the shop after work on Tuesday.
