I'm nocturnal

I'm pretending it isn't insomnia. I was tired for HOURS and bam I get in bed and all of a sudden my brain won't turn off. But it's okay because I trust myself to sleep normally starting tomorrow night in preparation for NEW JOB ON MONDAY!!!! Hear that brain? I trust you...

Just had the most ridiculous two days ever. What happens when literally 20 of your friends decide on a whim to go to Manhattan for New Years? MADNESS. Glorious madness. I'd like to personally thank Allison Kinney for organizing probably the best NYE I've ever had. The stories will be told for decades. Centuries maybe. I'd tell them here but I don't consider them particularly public blog friendly. But summarized here's NYE in NYC 2k10/11: Catch phrases (GAME TIME, the tightness, refocus, and still pumpin'), hashbrown and clutch pumpin, a NYE involving sky diving and turning off planes, spending every waking moment with David Rea and loving it, Josh and Brandon's adventures, a bottle of Absolut: Brooklyn being the first and only credit card purchase, exploding ginger ale, two hours late for EVERYTHING, Justin Bieber, Boxers Bar, spiked milkshakes, Josh's burger ecstasy, being awkward hat twins with the girl who sat RIGHT NEXT TO ME on the L, secret undercover texting, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH SMITH!!!!, never eating, PIZZAAAAAAAA, Subway fails, porn star bathroom, FB videos, American Girl Dolls, DANIEL'S SURPRISE!, Grey Goose and Patron, Road's balloon, the secret cellar, SPARKLES!, JMU friends on the bus, THE CRAZY GIRL NEXT TO ME, David's asian luck, singing Santa Fe on our empty subway car, scary Broadway Junction, hipsters, Elmo and Cookie Monster, falling asleep on the subway and waking up in the Bronx, and finally getting my french toast...once we got back from NY.

Awesome.

I'm basically just posting pieces of my inner monologue in this particular blog post because then maybe you will understand why I can't sleep. I have all of this simultaneously occurring in my head.

Marry You by Bruno Mars is my latest musical obsession. I have clearly been hanging out with Joe 24/7.

I also decided that this year's theme is 2011: The Year of Shannon. I'm not really sure what this means but I think it has a nice ring to it. ;)

I am so dehydrated because I keep forgetting to drink water.

WHY IS INCEPTION SO TIGHT. I could watch it every day.

I have incredible friends. I am grateful for each and everyone one of them.


Glad to get that off my chest. This is the most ADD blog post ever. Sorry not sorry.

I think I need to write more short stories, like this one I wrote accidentally. Woof that was SO long ago! I wonder what HBB is up to now...

Busy-ness resumes tomorrow. Break is officially over. But so much excitement is on the horizon! New job on Monday, Drowsy opens in less than two weeks!!!, my first FSO concert weekend, training sessions with new personal trainer, lots of birthdays...and I'm sure many exciting things that I don't yet know about. HOORAYYYYYYYY! Let the new year beginnnnn!
