2007 Archives

January 2007
I go through my annual bout of depression and beer pong, and I send G a picture of my boobs in a tight shirt. Awesome.

February 2007
Oh my God. The self-introspection because of my upcoming birthday is almost embarrassing. To break it up, I tell a story about how I once slept with a preacher man.

March 2007
There's a funny story about a drug dealer. I got through yet another round of breaking up with Charler (again). shamus explains how I can't find the right man because of phonetics. Most importantly, we talk about pampering like a princess and fucking like a whore. And lots of pop culture.

April 2007
Pookie turns 30. I run a marathon and an insane schedule. Girl time in LA. Lots of boys.

May 2007
I should be embarrassed by Memorial Day and tales of the f*&k room, but I'm not. I set summer goals. I also explain to you the four possible avenues after you end a relationship, because I am good at ending relationships.

June 2007
THE BEST FIRST DATE EVER. And my inability to behave like an adult makes Pookie proud.

July 2007
Ferris has a birthday that includes a pilgrimage to Big Jim. shamus visits and it is both dirty and not dirty. I get emotional about missing my college friends. Oh my GOD, and more partying with Asian girls.

August 2007
We bring you SMOS!!! Also, I take an awesome hike with my boys and probably never will again. And then there is this INSANE trip to LA that may be the best weekend ever.

September 2007
I'm all over the place this month. It's good reading if you kind of like the crazy version of me.

October 2007
And so I took this trip to Uganda...

November 2007
I'm really, really, really thankful - which I exhibit with mass drinking.

December 2007
Paul & Kari get married. And I go slowly insane as the holiday eats me alive.
