Oh, 2008. Thus far I’ve had a handful of dates with guys I didn’t fall for, lost track of two promising leads, watched a guy I very much liked move away with his new girlfriend, and had lunch with the man who broke my heart four years ago. It was the first time we spoke since then, and we haven’t spoken since.

I let some random club guy kiss me two weeks ago. It was gross. It was also the only kiss I’ve had in two years. Bleh.

You have two months to make it up to me, 2008. Do me proud.

I still love depressed, pre-rehab Keane. So many good tracks from Under the Iron Sea. Is It Any Wonder and Crystal Ball would be what I'd have written if I had any talent.

“Sometimes it’s hard to know where I stand

It’s hard to know where I am

Maybe it’s a puzzle I don’t understand.

Sometimes I get the feeling that I’m

Stranded in the wrong time

Where love is just a lyric in a children’s rhyme

A sound bite”

“I don’t know where I am

And I don’t really care

I look myself in the eye

There’s no one there

I fall upon the earth

I call upon the air

But all I get is the same old vacant stare”
