i can't believe that the 365 days that made up 2008 are gone already. my mom said "time seems to go by faster the older you get." and although i only turned 28 this year, i believe her. i'm gonna sound like a cliche for about 5 seconds and say that this year was such a blur. i had some pretty great times and some wonderful memories from '08. my only regrets are not hitting the gym more and not going on more dates (or not having a bf relationship this year). thankfully, my friendships thrived and i'm closer to my family than ever. 


before i get to the things i liked, i'll start with a few things i hated in 2008:
-the writer's strike
-sarah palin
-one of my best friends moving to st. louis
-fox news (nothing new)
-the new york giants winning the super bowl
-the ongoing war in the middle east
-michael phelps (and the mania that followed)
-pushing daisies getting cancelled
-losing my 401k
-airline surcharges for anything

things i don't know if i loved or hated in 2008:
-mike huckabee's fox news show

things i loved in 2008:
-flying to las vegas and hanging out with my aunts
-election night in nyc
-barack obama being elected president
-chuck
-"I'm f*cking matt damon" (and ben affleck follow up)
-tim riggins
-the stadium tour at the now "old" yankee stadium
-buying a black macbook
-summer weekends in fire island
-dr. horrible's sing-along blog
-rooney/locksley concert at irving plaza
-the dark knight
-seeing the SATC movie with my friends
-summer softball games
-the britney spears comeback
-going to south padre island with my family
-pushing daisies
-seeing new kids on the block at madison square garden with my friends
-anderson cooper
-my mom's visit to nyc for mother's day
-tina fey as sarah palin

best online conversation ever.

*ed note: i sent an invitation to my friends and colleagues for a holiday party i'm throwing next week. i also sent my cousin the invite because we don't get to socialize very often, and i figure if he can stop by we can at least chat for a few minutes. in said invite, i mention you can bring whoever you want, including a few of my favorite celebs...except michael phelps (i think he's a douchebag). the following is the online conversation we had immediately after said invite was received.

cousin: why you have to hate on my boy Phelps?

what might be the best olympian of our lives
me: hhaha. he's a douche
cousin: false
me: i watched his 60 min interview last night with anderson cooper
cousin: and?
me: i dunno. i just never got on the phelps wagon. i never caught the olympic fever
cousin: a cooper is a dbag
me: no way dude
cousin: he's about 5'4" and once tried to hit on a girl I was dating in the subway
me: are you serious? he's gay?
he's gay i mean.
that's not possible
cousin: ???
me: andy cooper
gay
cousin: then he just got friendly with her in a crowded subway
me: cause he's a friendly awesome dude
cousin: it was apparently really awkward
me: hahaha
cousin: I'll def make sure and tell the next girl I talk to randomly in the subway "don't worry I'm a friendly awesome dude"
me: nothing but love for the coop
HAHAHAHAHA
btw, this is the best conversation ever. you have made my day.
cousin: you just like him because he's part of the liberal machine
me: now you sound like your dad. or aunt gracie.
cousin: not at all, I can't watch Fox news. horrible.
me: i will admit, i would love to work for ac360. sort of a dream of mine.
cousin: I don't even know what that means
me: his show on cnn. anderson cooper 360. i'm a dork.
cousin: I'd rather work on the dog whisperer
me: i live the dog whisperers life. i do'nt need to work on that show
