It's time for a reflection on the year just gone. Not another cheesy reflection on 2014??? I hear you cry. No, I'm going for a step by step look at the none-lights of the year (* A none-light is something which is neither a highlight nor a lowlight of a period of time. On a colour chart it could be represented by the colour grey. If it was a food it would be boiled rice. etc. etc.) In fact I think I will go backwards, for the sake of my memory.
December
I discovered that if you type 'raspberry beret the kind you'd find in a second hand store' into Amazon.co.uk 0 results are found.
I'll just give you a minute to try that out for yourselves...
November
I texted a taxi driver asking him to wait for me after a gig, and he text me back 'No worries'. Adorable.
October
I went on the swings in New Marske with Rose and we almost missed the bus to Redcar. We definitely weren't seeing how high we could go. Or singing...
September
I came to own a skirt which I haven't even worn yet...although I'm pretty sure it's going on tonight!
August
I changed all the words to 'Purple Rain' so they were about the ice bucket challenge instead.
July
I ate focaccia for breakfast every single day for a week in Italy.
June
I spent an unnecessary period of time (weeks) making 'interactive decorations' for my birthday party.
May
I thought Prince was a dinosaur for like...60 seconds.
April
I received a Tesco delivery whilst under the influence (but definitely couldn't have done it without Beth...)
March
I left a note for the bin men but I don't think they even read it!
February
I discovered that Noel Edmunds is really, really short.
January
I got a pixie hair cut and for a moment I looked like Harry Potter!
The problem with the none-lights, is that whilst writing them I've remembered loads of really cool stuff that I've been up to over these past 12 months, or really funny things that have happened, which I can't really mention because they aren't none-lights at all.
I mean, remember when I got atttacked by a dragonfly, or when I accidentally killed that one when it got in my shoe? And come on, 2014 saw me in the slam final of a poetry competition, finishing my novel, being on the telly, falling in love with Prince, and other semi-romantic escapades. I mean, who can forget my chance meeting with Kev from over the road, when I tried to tell him all about my conifers? Or the Tesco delivery dude who gave me free food?
2014 has been an awesome year. I'm not ashamed to admit it, I'm not ashamed to publish a cheesy reflection on it on New Year's Eve, and I'm most certainly not ashamed to publish the none-lights too. They might even get a laugh!
