...Decade

Today, fair readers, I leave my 20s behind. It has been a wild ride filled with ups, downs and in-betweens. But the bottom line? It has been one hell of a decade. The highlights in Top 20 format:

20. Turning 21.

19. Ragtime.

18. Getting the hell out of LA, but keeping in touch with the forever friends I met there.

17. Not having a clue what I wanted to do when I grow up, but finding it anyway.

16. Community theatre production of South Pacific. Bali Ha'i, bitches.

15. Graduation week at UCLA.

14. Moving to NYC and everything falling into place.

13. My NYC apartment.

12. Buying my first Burberry item: a wallet that I love every single time I use it.

11. The invention of the iPhone.

10. Trip to Greece and falling in love with Santorini (also, Nescafe Frappes).

9. My discovery of Guest Bartending.

8. The Tony Awards.

7. Homie's Thanksgiving and First Thanksgiving not with my family.

6. 2 Weddings in 2 weeks in CA.

5. The day this blog was born.

4. Reverse double surprise birthday visit from my brother.

3. Deciding I finally can buy happiness.

2. 80s themed 90th Birthday with two of my best gemini friends, surrounded by drinks, dancing and 5 Hour Energy.

1. Every single year I learned something about myself, for better or worse.

This list was slightly out of character and tone for this blog, but tonight is one of reflection on the life I have experienced during the past 10 years. Conclusion? New York wins. But was that ever really a question?

Cheers to the wild and even more ridiculous times ahead...we will return to our regularly scheduled blogging when I'm 30. Which means immediately tomorrow, as I go to a Mets game with all of the gals. Stories will ensue.
