I won't trivialize my year..
..by trying to summarize it. The worst things in my entire life happened in this year, to both myself, my family, and several other families, but they were matched by the abundance of the best things that I have ever experienced.
I can’t expect 2012 to be as majestic nor to be as lyrical. But as we watch the presidency turn, the advancement of a new leader in North Korea, the Chinese...
Anonymous asked: This new invention of calling you in order to talk to you directly is novel. I plan on doing it more often. Also, hearing your voice is way better than a text message.
My Current Pandora Channels:
Mike & The Mechanics: For my daily 90s fix
Solo Piano Music: To make me feel classy
Taio Cruz (and Jason Derulo): To feed my trashy club music habits
Florence and the Machine: For when I need something rapturous

Ben is making me watch Percy Jackson.
This movie is abyssal. Pierce Brosnan can’t even redeem it.
Ben and I are watching HSM2
First of all: memories. Second of all, there are several people in real life who are actually people from this movie.
Troy Bolton - has the voice and facial expressions of Tyler McCourt
Kelsie Neilson - Taylor Turner
Sharpay - Ben Smith

The Smiths
Got matching Irish-themed Rugby Shirts for Christmas. I don’t even care that I didn’t get the cologne I wanted. We are officially ridiculous. Joy to the world.
Happy Birthday Penny Pare!
Today is my aunt’s birthday, and as usual, Ben and I will be going out with her to get sushi this morning for her party tonight. After the five o’clock mass this evening, we’ll head two streets over to Wabun for our traditional Christmas Eve/ Penny’s Birthday Party. Ask anyone who goes to the party; this is the best day of the year.
Penny means more to me than words can...
Golly.
I am so proud. That’s my girl.
And the songbirds are singin, like they know the...
That awkward moment...
…fiscal conservatives insist that you spend spend spend your money at big box stores…
…and then they go on television to let you know that you are spending money that doesn’t really exist, that you are personally responsible for $30,000 of our trillions in debt, and that you should live within your means….

Last Night
I have only been swimming 50s at practice (two lengths of the pool) over the past week and a half, in order to perfect my stroke. I have not swam more than a 100 since last season.
Last night was our first meet and Coach put me in the 500. It is the longest event, (20 lengths of the pool). I swam it last year in every meet but I was also training between lanes three and four and doing...
Let's just make out and call it a day.

HEY! I have taken some pictures over the last year or so and if you follow the link you can take a look. If you would like to give someone one for Christmas, just let me know and I will print one for you. And, if you would like to contribute something to the artist (myself) so that he (me) may buy something for his beloveds (aunt and parents) as well, he would be overjoyed.
#merrychristmas.
Today, Tyler was explaining to me that playing the trumpet is all in the lips. I told him if he knows any instructors, I would love to learn. But seriously, I want to join the orchestra.
Thought Organization.
Who is Cable?
I have been having extremely vivid dreams recently. Since I got into college, sleep has been happening most regularly and with it have been visions of grassy dunes covered in tangerine-colored sea flower bushes, and patches of white tulips. The path, which was worrisome, opens into a seashore with only a few families on it, and a long, picturesque concrete wall.
Another, from last...
