The Last Decade: 2008 & 2009

Chelsea — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:16:23 +0000

Throwback to the last decade. In case you missed them, check out 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007. Unfortunately, we’ve reached the end. :’( but not forever. There are still many more decades to come (I hope) and plenty of photos to be had.

Side note: why is it that the year I have the nicest camera of my life I take absolutely zero good photos? Ponder that one. Until next time, adios.

The Last Decade: 2006 & 2007

Ah, back to the last decade. I still cannot believe I’m old enough to say that. How nice it would be to be young again. I did 2003 through 2005 last week and now I’m moving on to 2006 & 2007, both of which were very fun years. I did lots of traveling and made lots of new friends.

The Last Decade: 2003 – 2005

Following my The Last Decade post, I’m following up with years 2003 – 2005. Aw, high school, how I do miss thee. No, not really. I hated high school with good reason. Enough talk, time for photos.

As a side note: I just love this carnival picture at the end of the 2005 montage. I think I’m going to put it on my wall now. That is all.

Things to do when you turn 21

Chelsea — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:34:22 +0000

My birthday just passed two days ago and this was a big one, the big 2-1 to be exact. So the question on everyone’s mind is ‘what are you going to do now?’ So here is my 21 things to do when I turn 21.

Enjoy my first cocktail LEGALLY!
Get into my new house and make it home.
Attend a burlesque show.
Gamble, I always wondered what the draw of those slot machines was.
Get one of those oh so stylish red wristbands when I go to ‘all ages’ events even if I don’t plan to drink.
Get my own car insurance because hopefully my rates won’t be so high if I’m over 21 with a near perfect driving record – one speeding ticket and a parking lot car accident that wasn’t reported.
Rent a hotel room. I can’t think of too many hotels in Vegas that let anyone under 21 rent a room so now that I’m of age I can! Hotel Party!
Speaking of parties, I will try that whole party whore thing. I think there is some expectation of you when you turn 21, particularly if you live in or around a party cities like LA, Vegas or New York. When you turn 21 you’re supposed to be a party hound and do nothing but party. Not my thing, but I’ll give it a whirl.
Feel smug the next time someone asks for my ID.

Travel to San Francisco and see what I’m missing so much.
Go to one of those high-end nightclubs that are only considered ‘high-end’ because it is located on the roof or it has some massive balcony that is potentially very dangerous for intoxicated young folk.
Celebrate my birthday for the rest of the year.
Fearlessly walk down the liquor aisle at the supermarket.
Actually buy liquor from said supermarket.
Stay completely and entirely away from the computer for 21 hours.
Strip club, strip club, strip club. I could have done this after I turned 18 I suppose but who actually wants to go to a strip club sober? Not me.
Let 21 people hug me <- This is a big one for someone with mild haphephobia!
Skydive, possibly from 2100 feet? Yep.
Befriend a total stranger.
Sit in a lounge, again LEGALLY, and enjoy live music.
Drunk dial my ex’s, my Mom and George W. Bush.

Favorites of 2008

2008 has come and gone and now that we are well into the new year I think it’s time for me to recap some of my favorites from the year.

Favorite Movie: This is going to be super cliche but The Dark Knight. I saw a lot of great movies but Health Ledger’s performance was absolutely superb in this one and I loved his character. He was just so darn clever.

Favorite Album: I think I bought one album throughout the entire year. Nope, make that two. Neither of which I’d actually call a favorite. So you’ll just have to settle for my favorite song: Hinder – Without You.

Favorite Book: The books I read throughout the year had quite a theme. My favorite this year was Undead and Unworthy.

Favorite Lesson Learned: Parking lots can be more dangerous than the streets or highways.

Favorite Photo: Just something I took for a contest I was entering.

Favorite moment: The day was April 17th. The time was around 9 p.m.

Your turn! Tell me your favorites of 2008.
