I just finished up dancing in Turkey and saw 500 Days of Summer on my flight back home to Oz. Really cool, quirky film. I loved it. Your beautiful smile and general coolness was the only thing that made the trip bearable... omg 26 hours of planes and airports! Also...Happy New Year!
Looking back on the months gone by,As a new year starts and an old one ends, I contemplate what brought me joy. I think of my loved ones and friends. Recalling all the happy & sad times,Remembering how you enriched my life I reflect upon what & who really counts,As the fresh and bright new year arrives. As I ponder those who do,I immediately think of you. Thank you Zooey, for being one of the reasons I'll have a Happy 2010
