Say bye to 2009

In all honesty -and this is one of the few times where I'm not going to be angsty -I think 2009 was a good year. Not great, but it got better as it went on. Speaking on an egotistic personal level of course, and not minding Bigger Things like the Economic Crisis, Global Warming, Lindsay Lohan, etc.

2009 PROS:

1) Plays that I work on always mark the highlights of the year. How fitting that 2010 finds me IN a musical for the first time of my life. I can hardly wait.

2) Moving out of residence was the best decision I made this year, and when I recall how close my plans were to falling to pieces, I am forever grateful to the friends (and now housemates) who had my back. It's a madhouse but that's the way we like it.

3) I feel like I'm finally breaking away from the grips of nostalgia associated with high school (which, let's face it, wasn't even that great), old friends, and dare I say it Hong Kong. It's not to say I don't miss them all anymore, it's just that I can miss them without wallowing.

4) Turning twenty wasn't the sordid affair that I always anticipate birthdays to be. Being twenty so far has been pretty amazing. I say good riddance to the teen years and their woe-is-me world.

5) That said, I will probably always be an angst kid at heart. Yes, this is actually a pro. It helps my digestion.

6) Taiwan

2009 CONS:

1) I am probably even more clueless right now about what I want to do with My Life than when I entered university.

2) Boys do my head in more than ever, I fail at reading them, I always fall for the wrong kind....oh and I'm still single.

BUT THAT'S OKAY. Look, only 2 cons. And a whole year for anything to happen.
