I'm trying to think of all the stuff I did in 2008. It's hard to remember things from early in the year now....
Jan: I taught yoga to my mom's bellydance class. Also I bellydanced for the historic Symes resort in Hot Springs. I caught up with some people from high school, and there was alcohol of epic proportions. I discovered the joys of drunken Battleship and Asshole. and racquetball. I beat an HHP major multiple times, yus.
Feb: I went to battle of the bands and picked up a hot date for V Day, holy cows, as Roo would say. He got rid of me pretty quick, I think. But he has reasons, believe me. Saw the final performance of Sharktopus...people were crying lol...and more local shows. I stopped trying this semester, apparently. I did lots of really bad things that month. AWFUL. kind of like how I switched from present to past tense there. Awful.
Mar: Umm...not so much better. My brother brought some people over to my parents' house when no one else was there, and basically they stole a lot of really expensive things and a large sum of cash. But let's forget that and move on. Oh yeah, and my Zune got smashed while ballroom dancing in Walmart, and it didn't get fixed for eight months. Very, very tragic. But anyway, MOVING ON...
Apr: I SAW EVE 6. I left for CDA with some gas money and a ticket. And luckily I found my super awesome friend there and we went camping on his gparents' farm. I thought I may have had to drive round trip in one day. Either way, it was liberating. and AMAZING! fuck.
May: Semester ended, I moved back to Polson and looked for a job a lot. No one hired me all summer. I cleaned out our hot tub and gardened and weeded a lot...I was bored. Also, there was one night of swimming and a giant slash bonfire at shore. with napalm.
June: Went to the Redwood Forest and the west coast for a week and a half with my family. Couldn't ask for more.
July: For the 4th...hahaha, how much detail should I get into here...I took a road trip with Eui and Issa to see people hang from hooks in their skin...but it was so much more, in a different way than you'd expect. It's a long, strange story. All you really need to know is I beat a canadian at air hockey. And later, for other crazy reasons, Eui and I even almost had to hitchhike back home. Anddd....I saw Kal Penn at an Obama rally. Only like 20 people showed up so we pretty much got him all to ourselves too.
Aug: Warped 2009. Bands of note were The Human Abstract, AVA, Rise Against, All That Remains....yeah. Not quite as satisfying as 2008. Mark didn't even show up either. Unsatisfying. Some crazy shit happened on the road/at the hotel though.
Sep: Back to school. Housed Pat til his bus came on the way back from the Maryhill longboard championships. He won the balls to the wall award. Saw Rancid and Less Than Jake. I partook in a zombie pit! Tim Armstrong also gave me his pick at the end. I was warm and fuzzy. And also, sweaty and banged up. THAT was satisfying. Later, I passed out for the first time ever. IN CLASS. I had to stab myself and squeeze blood out of my finger. Oh, and Rock Against Racism in caras park.
Oct: Grandma Palmieri died. Saw Trivium, The Human Abstract (again), and All That Remains (Again). Umm...scariest shopping cart ride of my life.
Nov and Dec, finals and holiday type things....good times...and rum.
