- 2nd "year in photos" blog post is up: http://urltea.com/2fx2 #
- My grandmother says she never memorized her SSN. For some reason that seems odd to me! #
- Going to attempt to scan some old photos. #
- Virginia Lee McMaster Foard, in her 90s, at home in Columbia, SC: http://urltea.com/2fxp #
- About to take Rusty to the airport. #
- There goes my neighbor’s cat again, freaking out. Much better than when a dog freaks out, though. #
- Impatient w/ ppl who find it so hard to use the auto postage machine. #
- @raquelita: have fun! #
- 25-30 mins. until I can speak w/ someone @ AT&T. I had to push about 10 diff. numbers. Again, why can’t everyone be like USAA? #
- "AT&T is here for you!" Right. I won’t be able to eat lunch til I talk to you fools. #
- Still on hold! Been more than 25-30 minutes… #
- Still on hold!! An hour!! I am *not* hanging up tho! @rustytanton – Turn your phone off! :) #
- As of 1/4/08, my Bank of America Visa will be *paid off*!! This is a first for me! (Note for those keeping score: still on hold w/ AT&T.) #
- Got someone @ AT&T, said they couldn’t make changes to the acct., transferred me to somewhere else… holding again now. #
- Dammit, I’ve been transferred to 3 places and now I’ve gone in a damn circle. #
- @rustytanton – Got your VM! I’ve been on the phone the entire time you were traveling! ;) Love you! #
- I feel cooped up. Want to go out & grab some Starbucks before all the crazy NYE ppl start going out. But *still* on the damn phone!!! #
- Oh hell no. That asshole transferred me BACK to the main number. Not going thru that again. Fuck, maybe I’ll just pay this and be done. #
- Went out, now back. What am I doing for NYE you ask? Staying in! Might practice on the pole or do a little coding. #

A year ago, it was National Drunk Blogging Day, thanks to Rootie’s ingenious idea. That was the last time I’ve been drunk, unless I’m overlooking something (and if I am, I’m sure someone will come along to correct me). Also, I met Doug in person for the first time that night. I remember Shelby saying, “Oh, god, you’re that Doug Monroe…” thinking he must’ve made a horrible first impression. Clearly he underestimated Doug.
Looking back, here are some highlights from my drunkblogging stint:
After I finish this 3rd drink, I think it’ll probably time to start ranting about porn, sex shops, and classism. Get ready fuckers!!
—
Now I feel like I should talk about some history of me and drinking. Watch out, I may start to emote all over the place. The first time I got drunk was when I left my old/new job the first time – Oct. 7, 2005. I blogged about it … Im too lazy to link to the post tho, so if you just search the archives you’ll find it. Since then I have been drunk maybe 3 other times… actually, Ryan was invilved in all of those, ha! He is a bad influence! (Or a good one?)
—
Now it might get racy… already on Rusty’s blog we’re talkijng about what he thinks about when he jerks off. I don’t like the way he write all his updates in 1 post, but whatever, it’s his prerogative.
So now I’m sipping my vodka and redbull. Rusty diluted it so the vodka doesn’t fucking kill me.
—
And now my mom totally HATES that she reads this blog!! (I know she reads it. Even if she says she doesn’t. But you know what, I am an ADULT and I can do what I want! She should understand that by now! I’m 27 years old, dammit.)
—
So over at fucking Will Hinton’s blog a few weeks ago, that guy Expat Teacher wrote some shit about “porn deadens sex.” O, woe is me, I’ve never heard that line before!! First of all, I fucking HATE how people will throw out a fucking platitude like that and just expect everyone to just swallow it, without asking what the fuck they even MEAN by that statement or anything. Everyone is just supposed to nod approvingly. Because we all just KNOW that porn is wrong an dbad, right? Right??
—
And plus, I kind of feel like, if I decide NOT to grow my hair out, then I should go to amateur night and represent for all the sexy short-haired girls out there! And everyone who’s an asshole about it will be like, “Hot damn, look at her dance, she’s really good… maybe short-haired strippers are okay after all!”
And my favorite comment of the night came from Dacia:
Apparently, for you, drinking = exclamation points.
I look forward to watching your punctuation as you continue to imbibe this evening.
That was a fun night. Which is weird for me because usually I do not have fun when there is a lot of drinking involved. But on some carefully planned occasions (like NaDruBloDa, or the first time I left the Old/New Job) it can be fun.
Should we do another NaDruBloDa at some point in 2008?
Since I love photography and I’ve been behind the camera quite a bit this year, I thought I’d do another version of the “year in pictures” meme. For this round, I chose one of my favorite photos from each month based on artistic/”slice of life” quality. It was really hard to narrow things down to just one photo from some months – especially December! But I did it.
If the location isn’t explicitly stated, it’s safe to assume the photo was taken in or near Atlanta.
Without further ado, here it is… (Again, this isn’t friendly to folks on slow connections. My apologies and such.)

- Another sign that I’m officially an adult: I am very excited about our new towels and sheets. #
- About to head out to a friend’s birthday dinner in East Point, to be followed by a trip to the Pink Pony South. #
- Rusty made delicious chocolate chip pancakes! #
- Apparently ‘yourscrotum’ is now following me on Twitter. Hmm. #
- Mini road trip to Covington, GA. Yay! #
- Just woke up from a nap. Now going to label some Flickr photos before dinner. After dinner, we’ll record our end of the year podcast! #
- Hopefully AT&T’s customer svc. dept. is open on Sunday. Gotta call them first thing in the a.m. bc they’re double-billing my grandmother. :P #

- Sitting on the couch w/ Rusty. Time to upload more Flickr photos. #
- Very pleased w/ my photos from Gough, Ga. #
- Determined to post as many photos tonight as humanly possible. Listening to Of Montreal’s new(ish) album. #
- Twitter has just not been cooperating for me today. But I haven’t been doing anything very exciting, so you haven’t missed much. #
- @tiffanybbrown – Those moments ambush me sometimes and I really hate them. #
- Apparently Twitter was being a pain for a lot of people today! Okay, back to uploading Flickr photos… #

I decided to take Rusty’s idea and run with it. I probably got a little carried away, but hey, I like photos. You’ll notice I only posted photos of positive/happy/fun occasions – not because I’m trying to rewrite history, but because I think it’s important to focus on the good. As such, you won’t see any photos of the crappy old apartment and related drama, the Platinum Stages pole saga, or other stupidities of 2007. This is a retrospective of all the good stuff that happened this year!
Also, this is not a post that will be kind to folks on slow connections. I’ve placed the photos below the cut (as they say on LiveJournal); you’ve been warned!

- Back home. Organizing photos in iPhoto. Not attempting to catch up on reading tweets. #
- At Caribou Coffee. Going to attempt to post some Flickr photos, if the wifi cooperates. #
- @jenbrock – LOL. I want to know what he thought it means. Bless his heart. #
- @jenbrock – Also, if you leave a VM about that, we’ll play it in the end of year podcast & then I’ll talk about it. Don’t be a tease. #
- Woman at Caribou says, "I’ve never known anyone to have mono. Personally." #
- Lunch at Figo #
- Now at Java Monkey (I know it must seem like we’re making the rounds). Annoying college girls nearby. #
