It is time for another annual retrospective...
January...Did very little actual work at my boring, boring, boring job. Applied for about 80 jobs and realized I needed desperately to go back to school. Applied to grad school.
February...Turned 29. Had kind of an anticlimactic birthday...the countdown to 30 officially began. Went on a wonderful cruise with my mom.
March...Continued to do very little actual work at my boring, boring, boring job. Did a lot of work getting ready for New Orleans. Realized how much work I did for free. Broke up with Tony and was sad about that fact. Tried to get over it. Decided that perhaps painting my living room would make it better. It kind of did.
April...Went to New Orleans for the 10th anniversary of VDay and had an amazing, wonderful, soul stirring time. Kerry Washington came to my party in the French Quarter, rode in the car with Kerry and Rosario Dawson.
May...I'm not really sure what I did in May. Perhaps I recovered from April?
June...Got into grad school. Wasn't sure if I was ready to make the leap to start grad school and leave behind my illustrious life of working at my boring job and applying for jobs I wasn't getting. Spent the summer hanging out with my brother.
July...Got my pink slip from my boring, boring, boring job and wasn't quite sure what to do about that except, well, paint my kitchen, go to grad school and suck it up until then. Decided to let myself be more excited than scared about that. Miraculously got my new job, which wonder upon wonders, got to work full time until school started. Adopted the cutest doggie ever named Mrs. Robinson. Named her Ginger and then decided that was totally the wrong name. Named her Penny Lane and it was perfect. Let Penny keep her maiden name.
August...Got incredibly intoxicated and went skinny dipping in some random apartment complex pool and cursed out my friends for not driving me home after sleeping on a lounge chair until 6 AM. Decided that I was too old for such tomfoolery.
September...Started graduate school and began several months of all work, very little play for Nikki. Worked, worked, worked, slept, worked. Laura moved out, Katie moved in. Had Laura and Oscar separation anxiety.
October...Jeannie got married and I wore the apple bottom jeans and the boots with the fur for Halloween. Didn't have a Halloween party for the first time in a long time due to lack of time and funds, and didn't really miss it that much. Was much happier hanging out with everyone in Nashville.
November...Swimming Upstream premiered and it truly amazingly wonderful. Met Claire Huxtable and Whitley Gilbert. Eve Ensler told me she "woke up with your face burning in my heart." Got all A's in my classes and had a gigantic event for work. Finally got a break from all that school and work. Went to Tennessee for the first time in three years for Thanksgiving. Was really glad to not have to cook for several days straight.
December...Worked part time and did a whole lot of nothing the rest of the time. Went to see Madonna with Jill which was immensely bad ass. Watched a lot of movies and made a lot of Christmas cards. Enjoyed a very low key Christmas with the family.

YOu need to edit this post. You did not include the love affair with Twilight.
