2011: The Best Year?

At the end of every year, I think “What a wonderful year I’ve had!” Even, say, two years ago when the year ended particularly horribly... I still thought, "But the rest of the year was so great!" Call me optimistic (or crazy)... but I'll say it again, this year was a FANTASTIC year. Maybe even the best.

In all honesty, the reason this year was so great was because I really, as corny as this sounds... grew into my face. No, that's not the right wording. I came into my own! I felt good about who I was and how I looked and self-concious thoughts stopped interfering with my days and making me feel inferior. I was super confident and it made me happier and I was able to focus on other things... like improv and writing. And okay, boys. I'm ending 2011 in a very good place and I'm excited for the new year and have great things ahead.

Also, there's this:

Why I'm Happy Today

Awkward Compliment had THE BEST SHOW last night.

I hadn't done the show in a month due to Thanksgiving and other obligations, so getting back up on that stage last night (and having Gudernatch be back with us!) was really awesome and fun. Plus, we had a packed house and my friend Carp opened for us. All in all, a good night.

I got this gift from my friend & co-worker, Matt.

His name is MJ and he got me a book about MJ.

What a world! He's the best.

Yes, those are Krabby Patties and a small rubber chicken.

... and we had an afternoon party at work today that I called

The Big AMP Snowman Reveal Party Potluck and Ugly Sweater Day

It was great. There was SO much random food. Plates were stacked with chinese food, McDonald's, brownies, cookies, sandwiches, etc. I love seeing people giving gifts and being genuinely nice to each other. Even if it's only for one day. {Not that people at my work are generally rude to each other. Generally.}

It's the weekend, now.

Let's be gods.
