The Egg's 2007 Awards Show...and now the award goes to....

2007...The Year That Was

LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD (longest friend) -
Ha...this is an odd one. Gypsy's life has been full of all sorts of friends. Longest? Well I'd have to have to give this award to Eileen (high school pal) since she always sent cards for the holidays (Xmas, st patty's, valentines...you name it!) while I was in Hungary. I tried to keep in touch with the high school buddies, but the hustle and bustle of school didn't allow for much maintenance. We all drifted apart for various reasons--such is life. Yet she always remembered me for every holiday--I'll never forget it...especially during the "I want to go back to America" moments..

NEWCOMER AWARD - COOLEST NEWEST FRIEND?
Sorry but this goes to several people...Ken & family, Terra & Mike, Melissa, Rob, Clay & Harry, Cliff & Connie (all from CCs--the gay bar!)

BEST REUNITED WITH FRIEND OF THE YEAR ?
Rebecca from high school--actually that was in 2006, but I'm glad that we got to reconnect after so many years. She was my partner in crime during high school:) Hehehe. We still laugh about the crazy shit that we pulled off...or so we thought!

HIGH POINT OF THE YEAR?
Starting a path of independence after years of expectations and rules...

LOW POINT OF THE YEAR?
Bitch fight with a co-worker....never mess with an Aries! Silly gal thought she could get away with her cattiness and rude behavior.

BEST HOLIDAY?
Thanksgiving

YOUR SONG FOR 2007?
An old one by The Steve Miller Band called "Jet Airliner" The lyrics made me think about busting a move. And it worked! Got out into the real world. Not the one with phone calls and emails. Real connections finally happened once I moved out and strayed from medicine/family...if anything the separation brought me closer to certain family members. Of course there's also LoveStoned by Justin Timberlake:)

MOVIE FOR 2007?
40 Year Old Virgin..kind of late, but I'm not fond of theaters anymore. Saw it on DVD and laughed like a maniac

WHO DID YOU SPEND VALENTINE'S WITH?
me, myself and I

WHAT WERE YOU FOR HALLOWEEN
nothing--I had to work and didn't think about showing up in a costume

RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR?
Brews N Bytes (coolest cafe in town!) all the way! Special mention to Four Seasons..

KISS OF THE YEAR?
all the ones from CCs regulars

BEST DECISION MADE THIS YEAR?
Leaving medicine

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR?
Continue working in the elder care field and begin a grad program in elder care management at Duquesne...what will I do without CCs?! Better enjoy it while it lasts!

MOST STUPID IDEA WHEN DRUNK?
crazy dance moves and pictures

TV SHOW OF THE YEAR?
NONE--if I get a chance, it's Daily Show and Colbert Report (and most of the 80s shows--I hate the new shows with a passion!)

MOST LOYAL FRIEND?
Hai and Anthi from med school--thousands of miles away, yet they'll call and yap forever...Hai doesn't even let me call. He'll call back. Norway isn't cheap, but I guess he's doing well with spare change:)

BIGGEST CHANGE OF THE YEAR?
Reinvention tour...Hair highlights, sassy wardrobe, awesome open-minded friends

BIGGEST DOUCHEBAG AWARD?
hmmm....that would be the douchebag coworker

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?
Continue the reinvention tour, not give a flying f&*k about what others think anymore, stray away from negative energy vampires, use the talents wisely in a new profession, stick with hobbies (writing, biking, cooking and hiking), visit the old boarding school in India which has deep rooted memories...this is the place that forced me to grow up quickly and shed fear. Yet fears plagued my later years...and now is the time to overcome all fears!
