2007: My Year in Review

Ok, so it's January 4th already, and I'm just now reviewing the past year, but I'm lazy. Deal with it. And also, I've been dealing with trying to define a still undefined relationship, even after a "define the relationship" conversation (I'll explain later), which is a great big poop sandwich. Thanks for understanding. Here we go...

January: I met a really cool guy via Match.com. Except he turned out to be not cool at all. And he may or may not have stolen my credit card number when I wasn't looking, because shortly after, mysterious charges from Montreal showed up on my statement. He's from Montreal. Coincidence? Maybe. Anyway, I really liked him until he suddenly stopped calling and said charges appeared.

February: I met another seemingly cool guy (read: douchebag). He had the balls to ask me how many people I had slept with like he was in any position to even ask. He borrowed one of my DVDs and has yet to return it. I got back in touch with a high school girl friend whom I met up with when she was down here vacationing with her fiancé. She broke the news of my high school sweetheart getting married, which didn't affect me as profoundly as I imagined.

March: The girls and I had a kick-ass weekend in Islamorada. Kenny Chesney was playing in Key West that same weekend and I missed out due to being a wee bit too intoxicated to drive. My girl friend introduced me to her cute neighbor. He had the bad boy look going on that I adored. We took a liking to each other, even though I knew he was trouble. I met another guy on Match.com who was the total opposite of the bad boy. I couldn't decide on which one I wanted to date.

April: I decided to date the good guy after he decided we should be exclusive. We had a blast going out together and taking road trips to Gainesville. He even bought me flowers for no reason. Still, there was something missing I couldn't put a finger on.

May: The good guy and I broke it off after we decided the sparks just weren't there. I went back to hanging out with the bad boy where the drama never ended. At the end of May, my parents and I left for a two week trip to New England.

June: In New England, I got to catch up with family friends I hadn't seen in years. I lived out of a suitcase for the first week of the month. I continued hanging out with the bad boy until he decided to go back to his psycho ex-girlfriend, which really was for the better. Boo found me on MySpace and we started talking. We met up briefly to take our dogs to the dog park.

July: I spent the 4th of July with my girl friend at Boo's. His buddy was there and the four of us watched movies and drank all night. Boo took me out right before my birthday and got me completely hammered. He kissed me and I realized that maybe I kind of liked him. Harry took me out for my birthday and got me completely hammered. I spent my whole birthday weekend in a drunken haze. Boo and I started hanging out quite often.

August: I had my first "sleepover" at Boo's. I started spending full weekends with him. I realized I really did like him, which surprised me since he was the opposite of my "type." Mick started texting me out of the blue wanting to hang out. It never happened. Boo and I took a road trip to the Hard Rock in Hollywood to see our new favorite comedian, Pablo Francisco. Best weekend ever.

September: I flew to Boston and drove to see my bestest girl in New Hampshire for a few days. I drove to Maine to attend the wedding of a high school girl friend and got to catch up with more long lost friends. I definitely missed the crap out of Boo when I was gone which kind of threw me for a loop.

October: The Red Sox kicked ass and made it to the ALCS. My car got towed from Boo's street and he generously paid to get it back, even though it was the third time a car got towed from the street outside his house. For Halloween, Boo and I dressed up as "Blow Me" tissues and jailbird Paris Hilton respectively, and went to an outdoor block party. I ran into Mick who was working security. He texted me all night about hanging out after he was done work. It never happened. Oh, I almost forgot. MY RED SOX WON THE EFFING WORLD SERIES AGAIN!

November: I attempted (and failed) National Blog Posting Month. I managed to bust out 23 posts out of the 30 days. A guy I briefly dated came out of the woodwork and I met up with him for some beer. We caught up and realized how much fun we have together. He took me by surprise and kissed me, but I pulled away. I brought Boo with me to attend a wedding of a guy friend from high school. He is very religious so we prepared ourselves. However, we had not prepared ourselves for a dry reception. We stayed as long as we could to be polite, and then hightailed it to the nearest bar for beer and the Gators.

December: Boo moved into his new house and I helped him paint. As I hoped, he let me pick out the colors and he was very happy with my choices. We celebrated Boo's birthday at the emergency room after he fell and cut his head open. I finally got to meet Boo's parents along with his grandmother, aunt, uncle and cousin. Boo and I had the "talk" about our relationship, which left us in the same position we are now (like I said, I'll explain more later).

It has been quite a year. The drama with guys was definitely kept to a minimum (compared to last year), which was nice for a change. I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to last year, and the new year isn't looking as bright as I had hoped, but the optimist in me says things are only going to get better. I didn't make any resolutions because I am total crap at living up to them, but I did think up some goals I'd like to try to work toward. Here's to a better and brighter future!
