so, on this eve of the dawning of a new year, i prepare myself for a bonfire.
it has been a year unlike any other. i was in a relationship for the entirity of 2007, which was strange and had its ups and downs (although more ups than downs). i am admittedly a little intimidated by where said relationship is heading in 2008, but it feels right, so it must be.
my health is incredibly improved from this time last year. living with a health nut has its good points, although i am already sort of regretting the whole bicycle thing, as danny has managed to have me on it at least 45 minutes every day until i can barely climb back into his truck. i would still take riding a bike over running any day of the week.
no chance of pregnancy in ‘07..going strong into ‘08. every trip to his grandmother’s place is a reminder of gilmore fertility.
i saw some pretty spectacular bands this year..most of which you aren’t interested in. the police weren’t that great. wilco and the white stripes were definite high points.
as far as movies go, it was good on all cylinders. as far as comedies go, knocked up and superbad were great, and i recently saw both love in the time of cholera and no country for old men, the latter of which was the best movie i have seen since children of men (the names perhaps being a little ironic).
i also fell in love with the tv show how i met your mother. i won’t bore you with a long list of cd’s that i am enjoying because my pretense runs high, but lcd soundsystem and peter bjorn and john both put out good ones..not to mention that little band radioheads new joint.

i have been debating resolutions, and all i can really come up with is to be a nicer person. college makes me more cynical by the day. i am consistently astonished at the stupidity of my peers. i actually had a girl in my creative writing class this past semester who didn’t know how to write complete sentences. i tore her a new asshole on every single review, and it did absolutely no good. i also had a girl in one of my classes ask me what the white album was. it is really hard for me to be nice, but i hope to be a nicer hailey in ‘08, especially since i have been told by my boyfriend in several arguments that i am a know-it-all.

meh.

at any rate, i am pretty sure ‘08 is going to be the big one. i graduate 2 days after my 22 birthday, and i suspect there may be some other big announcements around that time, if not sooner. my friends are scarce and getting scarcer. not a lot one can do about that i suppose. tonight i will be with them, and we will toast the new year and hope for the best.
