things I learned in 2005...
Just because a guy is older doesn't mean he's more mature.
If your roommate offers to let you stay with her pet tiger in the west wing of her future house, it doesn't mean your life is in danger.
It is possible to blow a 16-point lead in the final four only to send fans around the country into a deep state of denial.
Some master's degree students think living in Hawaii equates to studying abroad.
Being a "nanny" isn't babysitting, but it does include taking out the trash, cleaning, and doing laundry.
At the University of Tennessee, Olympians are like traffic in DC
It is possible to enjoy watching golf, if you get to be a standard bearer for Brendon DeJonge.
Dollywood sights and sounds will never leave you the same.
The University of Tennessee will do everything possible to make you think you won't graduate on time.
Look beneath the surface of a guy who seems like he's perfect. He's not.
Soccer camp is a lot more fun when you're a coach.
Any job is a good job when you're poor.
Temporarily living with your parents for free rent is bearable when you're poor.
When someone asks you to be in their wedding, it really means will you spend a butt load of money for me.
While a lot of the complaints about MethCo are the same as they were when I first went there five years ago... going back isn't the same.
You can't keep in touch with everyone.
I still have a lot to learn!

quote fever
So I said I was going to be reflective about 2005, but every time I have internet that will let me post something, I'm supposed to be doing that annoying thing called work. But... in the meantime I found a couple of quotes that make me think...
"Every person wants to know.. 'Did you hear me? Did you see me? Did you really see me?' Every person matters." - Oprah
"Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? Or, having it, is satisfied?" - William Thackeray
