2005 is SO last year!

mood: excellent

We are now engaged in the 70th hour of 2006. So far it's been pretty good... At least on par with 2005. Way, way, waaaaay better than 2004. I'm sure some people would agree with me. Others, probably not. Alas, it seems, I am rambling.

In the spirit of optimism, I give you:

A Random List of Things That Kicked Ass About 2005,

In No Particular Order

1. Airplanes. Airplanes rule. They make you go places... Places such as Italy, and France, and even The Fatherland for about 55 minutes.
2. German stuards. Sure they have girl stewards (or stewardesses, if you will) but the man ones are the most hardcore. One of them lifted my spirits on that boring eight-hour flight by giving me alcohol - on the condition that I refrained from singing dirty songs. Good man! Cheers!
3. One word: Gelato.
4. Italian leather purse makers that sell you gorgeous red Italian leather purses for a thirty-five euro discount because you're Canadian and very cute. Yay!
5. The town of St. Paul de Vence and it's making me realize that - oh my goodness! - nine years of French class weren't all in vain! (I translated a menu for my companions, ordered a ham sandwich and a gingerale, found the correct change, and asked for directions without missing a beat! Damn I'm good.)
6. Walking on the beach in Nice. And telling everyone that "I have good toilets". Haha.
7. Paris, France. I love you. But so does everyone... you floozy. (But I still love you.)
8. Waiting. Hey, what can I say? It kicked. And so did going to Bradford, Ontario for the Sears Regionals. Who knew?! They have a Wendy's and everything! ...Happy carrot festival, guys!
9. Mikey, you may not be drama president but you certainly are the King. w00t! Long live you.
10. Cool drama girls! Oh my God! They exist! They are wonderful!
11. International Anneliese Day went pretty good... But this year's will be better ;-)
12. Peer pressure. It lead me to my Pretend Internet Boyfriend. He is sweet and cool.
13. Totally goin' white wedding style for Formal! You know you liked it.
14. How two weeks of sleep deprivation = an 85 in 4U English. Loves it!
15. Canoeing. Always a pleasure!
16. No more Whoremonger! It's like he's died and gone to... ;-)
17. That phase I went throught where I did like 18 quizzes a day to find out how cool I am and posted them all on my blog. Yeah. I'm cool!
18. Hillside. It's like three days of amazing sex. Mostly safe sex, but with the odd hillbilly.
19. Chillaxin' with Suzanna and Mark at the Bruce Peninsula National Park. Good times.
20. I have a cool tutee which automatically makes me that much cooler.
21. My Halloween Dance. It was fun. And it was mine. And it rocked. Because I am so good. Oh yeah. Uh huh.
22. Russian friends who made work less boring ;-)
23. The fact that I'm not fat yet kicks total ass.

Other things rocked too, but not enough for me to remember them right now. One thing that didn't rock so much was dental surgery. This was a mean year for dental surgery... first my wisdom teeth were forcably removed from my body, and then, as if the dentist didn't steal enough money from our insurance already, oh! I had a root canal! A ha ha!

Peace out brothas.

Ta Da!
