With another year behind us, there have been many New Year's resolutions I am sure. For me, I decided to make sure my friends are always appreciated. I can definitely count on a few people to always show up when I play a show, when I have an art opening or a party. I want them to always know how much I really, really truly appreciate it. Which makes me want to add a new thing to my list : meet some new amazing friends. I tend to find perfect, amazing friendships with people who are going to be moving away. This is like a common theme. Sure, I get along with a lot of people but I mean the kind of friend you can tell anything to. Take Jen, for instance. In a few months we definitely consumed 20 liters of wine, ate many olives, and danced to Chumbawumba. These people are few and far between. Jen has a real job now and \I am still an undergrad, and she lives far away, thus, I need a new wine-o who will sing along pop songs off-key with me when I play guitar.

I also had a dream last night I went ziplining with my parents and husband. Something I don't think they would do. But I looked at my mom and said "I am so going to put this in my blog." Dreams can be quite revealing sometimes.

In the spirit of a new year, I want to add a few more things.
- Crash a wedding. Not in a destructive way. Just find my way into a wedding and pretend to be Joe's niece or Steve's sister or something. I will LOL forever, especially if it's open bar.
- Do a set of stand up comedy. This has been my secret dream for awhile. I keep writing little notes of jokes I would do. I always think of the best ones if I am drinking and then forget them. So I am trying to write them down now. I'm sure I can find some open mic somewhere soon enough.
- Finally make my own wine. No brainer, really. Just takes motivation.
- Publish an article in a paper.

Well here's to another day! I may start that article later, in fact.
Cheers!

  1. Hi Leslie...

    You certainly do make your friends feel appreciated. I know I have! I liked seeing your bucket list. I have something of an old fetish for list; I once couldn't imagine thinking any other way than in tens. Miss seeing you. Hopefully soon, if you're around CBS, we'll grab a coffee. I'm still stuck away, outside my old place.

    Yours,
    Robert
