    celebration.
    I was lucky enough to celebrate the new year twice this time. The first was a loud mash up of 2 of my best friends, popular dance songs, dancing drunk, and kissing strangers at midnight. The second included 5 good school friends who trekked from all parts of california to my brightly colored victorian walls where we dressed up and went out to eat and rang in the "new year" with pjs, empty wine bottles, scattegories and pink champagne. it was a lovely convergence of college partying and middle school sleepovers. the nicest things about both nights was they made me feel loved. and that's a rare and beautiful feeling.

    Music is what feelings sound like.
    I was looking at my itunes library which holds almost 6,000 songs, most of which I have acquired in the last 5 years and it reinforced what I have always known, that I breathe music like air, that for me the gift of a newly discovered song is one of the best gifts you can give or receive and for me, I look to music to supplement what I don't get from life otherwise. I turn to music to give me feelings of euphoria, to allow me to feel infinite and complete. That being said, sometimes I listen to songs because they remind me of someone or something or because I just want to dance. I've been reading articles on the "song of the decade" (mr. brightside, crazy, crazy in love etc) so i decided to compile my top 15 songs of the decade. it turned out to be a lot more challenging than i thought, but i tried to pick ones that weren't just phases; ones that had a significant and lasting impact on my life. and so, my top 15 songs of 2000-2009 are:

    absolutely (story of a girl)-nine days (2000)
    oops i did it again-britney spears (2000)
    lose yourself-eminem (2002)

    collide-howie day (2004)
    you're beautiful-james blunt (2004)
    somebody told me-the killers (2004)
    stronger-kanye west (2005)
    how to save a life-the fray (2005)
    chasing cars-snow patrol (2006)
    paper planes-m.i.a. (2007)

    coming to an end
    so around thanksgiving i felt like i should write an official i'm so thankful entry, but honestly i wasn't feeling it, so i thought i'd write it now. i am. thankful. i am thankful. 2009 was one of the most challenging years of my life; i learned how to live without a lot of my friends and i got my heart broken, but at the same time i branched out, i lived in a house by myself and learned how to set up things like electricity and power, i turned 21, i had a really influential relationship with a boy, i was perspectives coordinator, i finished a semester of senior year of college and i'm thankful that i got to do it all surrounded by people that i really care about. so for all the people i had in my life before who i love a years worth more now, to all the new people i met and learned to adore and even those who i've grown apart from or lost a friendship with, you all helped me have an incredible 2009. so, thank you.
