the decade that was

it's almost unbelievable that the first 10 years of the 2000s are nearly over. it seems like just yesterday i was a closeted grad student hanging out in nyc with my friend waiting for the ball to drop. and man did the ball ever drop! in this past decade, i -

• graduated from grad school
• began my career in public policy
• came out
• met the love of my life
• moved to the district of columbia
• adopted two peculiar cats
• joined a church
  
• did time as a temporary doorman, temporary proofreader, temporary receptionist, and tutor
• survived a year of workplace hell only to come out better than ever
• bought a house
• became the flipflop fed
• realized that life is too good to be missed

here's to another decade of fantastic fantasticism!
