New Year

It's a new year! Yay! I must admit that I feel Valentine's Day is bullshit and the Christmas season better than the actual Christmas Day. However, I love love love New Year's Eve. This most recent New Year's was a great one for many reasons. Let's look back at this shall we?

DADT was passed, friends of mine married, divorced, graduated, had babies, and kicked ass. Julian Assange is a hero to some, douche bag to others, and even a terrorist to a select few. It's been a big year.

So, what have I learned this past year?
1. It's crazy awesome to make douche bags in class look like total jerks with your insane brain!
2. It is not crazy awesome when douche bags interfere with an event trying to end domestic volence...
3. Tyler Perry always manages to promote stereotypes as he breaks down others...
4. I have THE best friends in the world
5. Rape is still incredibly misunderstood
6. Freedom is a really weird novel
7. Jersey Shore is horrifyingly addictive
8. I need to use my glasses more
9. Walk through the uncertainty to find peace (it's the ONLY way)
10. All pain is the same (I learned this after losing my dog)
11. Sometimes we need to let go (of the past and old friendships or old versions of ourselves)
12. Telling people how much they mean or have meant to you is always a good idea
13. Watching Oprah always helps
14. Being intentional is the best personality trait someone can have
15. Stretching my mind is when I feel the best
16. Life is unpredictable and that's okay
17. Everyone has a story worth hearing (Except Bill O'Reilly)
18. There's nothing quite like watching old movies for two days straight
19. I'm never alone (not in a stalker way)
20. When I drink, I am not a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, even though I may think I am at the time (there are pictures from a wedding to prove this)
21. Weddings aren't so bad (if I'm not the one walking down the aisle)

Here's to 2011 when I hope to see gay marriage legalized, my graduation, and all sorts of ass kicking. My New Year's resolution is to never say one negative thing about my body this year (I am horrified that I allowed myself to do so EVER). Anyone else? Anything you all learned?
