street_symphony | 2009 Scrapbook

Happy 2009! In an attempt to document it online, I joined up at

2009_scrapbook. I want to remember the good stuff, even my love of things that has carried over into the new year. *cough*AmericanIdol*cough* My scrapbook is in purple. No one who knows me should be surprised by that.

Resolutions
In this new year, 2009, I resolve to...	01. ...eat better. 02. ...write! 03. ...get back into graphic making. 04. ...actually tag my journal entries. 05. ...finally put up new layouts at zac_graphics and my graphics journal. 06. ...not let the students freak me out when I start my student teaching internship.

Icons
	Feat.: Patrick Stump Maker: Me Currently using Matches the layout I'm using to enter 2009 with...includes a quotation from Pete Wentz.
	Feat.: Winnie the Pooh Maker: Me Currently using Made it for a recent layout and kept it as my default. The text was screaming to be used.
	Feat.: Matt Nathanson Maker: Me Currently using Goes with the brand new layout. Matt is my favorite current music artist.

Layouts
	2009 - present Feat.: Patrick Stump Code: street_of_mercy It was only a matter of time before it was only Patrick on my LJ. I had a full FOB one earlier, but I forgot to screenshot it (could probably dig it up and post it), and then I had a Jon McLaughlin one prior to this (should dig that up too).
	2009 Feat.: Luna Code: passing_girl I thought this was such a cute layout. Luna is probably my favorite character from Sailor Moon. Yes, she is a talking cat.
	Dec. 31, 2008 - present Feat.: Matt Nathanson Code: refuted My favorite current musical artist. It was only a matter of time before I used him in a layout. I love how simple it looks.

Memorable Quotes
"What do I know, at 29? I know that 'things' are what we seek, but 'love' is beneath that. If 'love' isn't the foundation- then 'things' will fall. For even if they stand- they mean nothing. I've had both- and if given a chance to choose... Soberly- I choose love. Humbly- I choose love. Wisely- I choose love."	- P!nk
