CrazyVirgo - A Year in Review

It's been a year, kids. Since last year at this time, I've moved to Boulder, got a sweet job, got married, got hit by a car, went to Belize, made my directorial debut on YouTube, visited Kansas City (2xs)/ Atlanta/ Telluride, saw a lot of movies, read a lot of books, and perfected a recipe for meatballs. Yep, a pretty good year. Sure, I didn't climb a mountain, run a marathon, save children, find a cure for the common cold, but it feels like it might have been an above average year for this underachiever. I think it was double-whammy of getting married and getting hit by a car that pushed me into the Good-superior year category. And just to lay your fears to rest, I got hit on my bike, nothing serious happened, and thanks to a certain doctor here in Boulder I have more than enough pills to live pain-free through 2008, and then check myself into rehab.

With the good, there was also the bad. Granted, there was no drunk driving incident. I didn't get knocked up. Nobody got a picture of my choocha while I was exiting a car. I didn't get mauled by any zoo animals. I wasn't paid billions of dollars to get married and sire a turkey baster injected child. I didn't appear on a reality TV show. But, there were a few blips on the radar, and with that I give you:

CV Worst of 2007
1. Car breaking down in the middle of our move to Boulder, in none other than Utah forcing Gentleman Lover and I to re-enact a scene from the "Amazing Race" where we booked a shuttle to the airport,  flights to Denver, and a hotel in Denver in the lobby of a VW dealership.

2. Driving with friends from Seattle to Whistler while having an epic case of diarrhea, forcing me to take too many Pepto-Bismol's causing me to experience black tongue.

3. Drinking too many martini's at GL holiday party forcing GL to be my caretaker while I vomited on my arm and went completely limp in the cab on the way home, and appear the next day at my office as a walking molotov cocktail.

All in all, I think I did pretty well. Me and 2007 got along like two kids in a sandbox, throwing sand into each other's eyes, then hugging it out afterward.
Happy New Year!!
