In characteristic ebMpire style, I am making New Year's style resolutions really really late. Or really early. Depending on how you look at it. And well, they aren't "resolutions" anyway so i guess it doesn't really matter. Just observations.

And now, without further abstraction on my part... I present what 2002 revealed to me though a Ouija board and my own beating heart. (oh and some have nothing to do with 2002, they're just in general) Oh fuck it.

The Good Things

Maintaining child-like enthusiasm about things that are truly deserving of it. Seriously. If you can't see things through the eyes of a little kid, or be astounded by new things, people and experiences the way you were when you were a kid, you are fucked. You are doomed to be a miserable schreck. Stay gold, ponyboy.

Haven't been impregnated even once

Song that makes me melt: Screen Prints- Wrap Up Warm

I think I ate a mango for the first time in 2002? It was good.

Bad Things, Non-Things, and Un-Things

Coke with the lemon built in

Girls who are really conscious of their ponytails. You know, they do that sorta bouncy walk so it's all swing-left, swing-right, swing-left, etc.

My very first nervous breakdown - no, not the Television Personalities song of the same name (which would have to fall under 'good things'), but rather, a nervous breakdown

What the world is doing to Martha Stewart. Oh leave her ALONE. And I feel really strongly about this. I really hate when people say things to me like "She is a real bitch. You know that don't you?" when they find out that I worship Martha Stewart. I never said I liked her because she was NICE. I don't care what she did with ImClone. I don't care that everyone quits Omnimedia in tears after 3 months. That woman can't go to jail.

Drama (king!)
