A reflection of my brain from a peculiar angle.

All RIGHT, so I've got my mixed absinthe drink going, and it is THAT TIME... Time to post the obligatory End of the Year lists to feed my OCD!!  It's particularly cool this year, since the first decade of the new millennium is coming to a close - in just about 40 minutes, for me!

Before I get to that, I just want to say how good this year has been for me. 2008 sucked, and I wished more than anything for a mentally healthier year for myself in 2009 - and that is what I received.  I'm so much more satisfied with myself than I've ever been. This year, I ended up making several general decisions about how I live my life, how I relate to others, what's important to me, and who I want to surround myself with.  This summer was about expelling the excess bullshit from my life.  This winter was about stripping away most of my fears, insecurities, and doubts.  I feel really good, and I'm damn confident that I can carry that feeling into the new year.

In 2010, my life needs to get to a new level. To help that happen, I'm going to be doing all of the following: applying for more local jobs and more national internships, going to more media-related events on UA's campus, talking to strangers, reading more often, living at the library at least a few nights a month, scaring myself for no reason, and keeping up the habit of loving myself. 

I feel a VERY good year coming on.  <3

And now... NIKKI'S OCD LISTS AND MEMES!!  Hehehe...

( ... Now DANCE, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!! )

Also, I'd like to add that my recap of The Monster Ball in Atlanta IS coming... I'm just still recovering, lol. Tomorrow after work, hopefully. <3
