"...Every Day that the Sun Rises" |
MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2009 @ 04:28PM |

It was Christmas evening and I was in the car on my way to Melissa's house. As I passed by Happy Donuts, the shop was understandably vacant except for one person sitting at a table by the window. Maybe he/she was waiting for someone or something, but in that brief moment sadness swept over me. Even if my Christmas was not eventful, even if it was simply spent sitting around at home or playing Scrabble, I am ever grateful I was not alone.

My Fear is Greater than My Anticipation |

I never noticed until today when I looked back on previous posts that December 22nd is the exact date I changed the layout last. Fascinating, isn't it? Purely coincidental, too. The concept for this next layout was a little different before, but I wasn't satisfied with how it turned out. With a little bit of help from a feline friend, I tweaked the concept a bit and kept the essential format the same. It used to be much blockier and awkward, but it flows much better now. Thank you! There are a little less than two weeks left of winter break. So far, it's pretty much been a combination of malls, movies, presents, and some random hanging out. Although there is little rain, it has been fairly cold; but then, I think I'm rather sensitive to the cold. Anyway, Christmas has always been my favorite holiday for some reason. The weather, the lights, the gift-giving... It just makes me feel more festive than towards other holidays. It is a pretty big money sink, but I suppose it's worth it. There's something about thinking of gift ideas meant for specific recipients that simply feels good. With Christmas comes New Years! To say that this past year has been interesting is an understatement. The year began in Monterey and even though I've always liked the place, who knew it would inspire my future aspirations? Every year contains some big event or several firsts, but this year has been crazy (for lack of a better word). In 2007, I graduated from high school, got my driver's license, and was introduced to mountain roads. In 2008, I played with clumps of snow without having to leave San Jose, impulsively rekindled a friendship that didn't end well, went fishing, went to Carmel, visited the Academy of Sciences, and won one of those giant plushes you never think you'll win. In no particular order, a summary of this year... 01. Was coincidentally groupmates with an old friend 02. The word "deer" is now automatically associated to Valentine's Day 03. Went past the Lick Observatory and through the mountains to see what lie on the other side 04. Decided that coniferous forests are among my favorite terrestrial biomes 05. Visited the college I'd wanted, since high school, to go to only to change my mind as the year progressed 06. Wrote and mailed my first letter since elementary school 07. Observed families of geese from birth to maturity 08. Summer has never been so full of cousins in my life 09. Talked to people that significantly changed the rest of the year and a portion of my life 10. Gray to black to gray 11. Saw Matt Nathanson live 12. Saw Death Cab for Cutie live 13. Added someone to my miniscule list of friends 14. First laptop 15. Emotionally felt like a high school student again 16. Saw a Great White Shark 17. Very slightly learned how to shoot a basketball 18. Seriously upgraded the fish tank to have live everything 19. Lost two rings 20. Moved I've been wondering what 2010 will be like. What decisions, big and small, will I (or others) make that'll determine how life carries on? Here's to hoping your holidays are bright and the new year will, overall, be a good one. -Tiffany |
