remember when. . . in 2006

It’s one thing to accomplish what you set out to do (even if you’re only accomplishing 50 percent), it’s quite another thing to have a good time doing it. This year had the highest of the highs, the lowest of the lows and the most medium of the media.
However, because actual descriptions would take too much time, I’ll bullet out the year.
2006 in memories
- . . . a sock!
- Late production nights at TRU
- Late weeknights at TRU
- Late any nights at TRU
- cuteoverload.com
- Working with Laura and dealing with all of the drama that resulted
- Interview day for the TRU editor in chief position
- The day after interview day
- Confronting Jeff Hand for his quasi-ethical action that cost my university the quality of its school paper.
- The fact that to this day, Jeffrey W. Hand still has that mustache. . . .
- End-of-the-year TRU party at Jackie’s house
- Having an after party at my house
- Spring graduation, where I went to five parties, including a lunch and a dinner, picked up a friend from the airport an hour away, drove around a drunk person, tried to help someone break into their own house, hung out with great people and combed through Las Cruces looking for a girl who took off walking into the night when I wouldn’t give her a ride.
- The Clovis News-Journal
- The Zia Lodge
- Angel, or whatever her name was, who kept calling me for months, despite the fact that I would ignore her, hang up on her or otherwise stay quiet for grotesquely awkward lengths of time.
- Getting postcards from Suzius and Ange
- Random books and packages arriving for me from Nikki.
- Sleeping on a too-thin mattress, then getting an air mattress for my birthday.
- Having a 21st birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. . . 🙁
- Throwing a secret party in the mountains
- Being rained out the following morning and nearly dying in those same mountains
- Hanging out with Claire and Jayna after work and getting to know and love them
- Not having a place to stay in Las Cruces during the summer, but not minding at all
- Moving in with Rich Sims
- Moving in with Ben Davenport
- Having the greatest road trip to Denver with Jayna and SPJ
- Late-night Halo sessions at the dorms
- Sitting with my old friend Frank and complaining about how we’re wasting our lives
- Doing something about it
. . . oh, 2006, would that I could selectively relive parts of you. To 2007, may your days bring grace and happiness with just a hint of awesomeness.
