So, it's the last day of '08. There's approximately 2 hours until the new year and I figured I would write an end of the year blog like everyone else.
I started blogging in September of this year.
I got my eyebrow pierced after days/hours/minutes of nervousness.
I bought a super huge, super awesome poster of the beatles.
My sister had her baby this year! Making me an aunt! He's the cutest thing EVAR!
My old junker car finally gave it's last mile. My dad bought me a new car and it's a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix. LOVE IT! It's my baby.
Apparently I can last 1 minute and 9 seconds chained to a bunkbed with a velociraptor.
I participated in my first election. Only 20 days til inaguration. Congrats, Obama. Good luck!
I saw Sweeney Todd, the play, LIVE! It was awesome!
I turned 18 this year, back in February. Being 18 had it's ups and downs for me. On the plus side, I had completely freedom. On the minus side, I'm now an adult which takes away a lot of things. Like, I have to buy my own food, cook it, I have to do my own laundry, my own dishes, pay my own bills. Sucks! But oh well.
Um, I lost my job back in April due to store bancrupcy.
I graduated from High School, May '08. That was an epic event. Talk about butterflies. Before graduation, some of my friends and I had a bbq at the beach. I think to kind of celebrate.
Let's see..
My mom passed away in June. That was tough but it's getting a little easier after 6 months. NO, I'm not completely over it, I never will be, but I wont let depression hold me back.
What else.
Oh, I started college at K-State in August. I passed the semester but apparently I'm on an academic warning because my GPA is below 2.0 Who cares, I'm moving to a new school in 12 days. Screw you, K-State.
That's pretty much it actually.
OH
My friends and I had another bbq in July and I think we may have officially started a tradition. We'll see in '09.
Now I think I'm done. I didnt have an eventful year but it was still decent either way.
See ya'll in '09!

2) Some perfume and lotion.
3) bubble bath! gonna have to try that one out tonight.
4) some more perfume
5) a book that has all the lyrics to the Beatles' songs in it, along with some crazy fantastic artwork.
6) a book about the history of the Beatles.
7) a Beatles calendar
8) a really cool framed picture of a few covers from Beatles albums. (hand made)
9) oh, and a scarf from Aeropostle
Got a lot of neat stuff.
The one thing I'm bragging about, more or less, is that I got drunk christmas eve after we opened presents. I dont know what I was given but it was good.

So its almost Christmas. I'm getting excited. For the presents of course... :D
There's lots of presents under the tree. But then again, there's like three times as many people that will be at my house this year than any other year. Hooray for a big house.
I'm procrastinating right now. A group of people I know are having a Secret Santa thing. Its not like a face to face thing =\ We draw or write something for whom we are "secret santa-ing". It's been a yearly thing for a few years and I've stood on the sidelines and watched. But this year I decided to get into it and its harder than I thought :( I had an idea last night but of course I didnt have my notebook to write it down and, being in the movie theater, I couldnt pull out my phone and type it in. Blast the darkness of the theater!!!
So, I'm blogging randomly while I try to remember what it was.
But sadly I cant think of anything else to say except...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Alright, I got a bit of news today.
First off, I had a doctor appointment today. Well, two actually, one was a last minute thing. Both were about my knee; I been having problems for a while now and I figured maybe I should get it checked out. My first appointment was at 8.20 this morning, sucks, I know! I even got lost trying to find the building because I never been there before. But I found it with minutes to spare. You know how when you have doctor appointments, and the doctor's nurse comes in first to check your pulse and play 21 questions with you before the doctor has a chance? Yeah. I hate that part. It's like "you wont diagnose anything for me so back off." But I had to suffer through it like anyone else. Then he's like, "Ok, doc wants another set of x-rays so I'm gonna give you a pair of shorts to borrow." I says ok and changed in to the ugly shorts they provide. I had the x-rays. Doc comes in when its developed (finally, bastard! where've you been!) and tells me that my knee cap is completely off center from where it should be. I was like damn... And then he says that it makes my joints grind together which is causing arthritis. Great! Another thing I have to deal with in the future. Then he says he wants to do an MRI (magnetic resonance image, magnets! cool!) which was the second appointment i had. An MRI is the most boring-est thing in the entire fucking world. If you never had an MRI, you lay on an uncomfortable bed for 45 minutes. Seems nice so far. UNTIL they tell you you cant move the entire time, one wrong move and the whole thing is ruined and you'll have to start over. Plus, since it deals with magnetic imaging, you cant have a cell phone in there! FUCK! I'm tellin ya. I was bored out of my skull. Until I figured out, hey... I can take a nap because its semi-dark in there. So I took a nap but as soon as I got to sleep, it was over! DAMN IT! And since you cant move, your circulation stops the whole time so once you get up its like... woah... blood starts flowing again. Awkward feeling. But anyway, doc says if theres a tear in the cartiledge in my knee then I'm fucked for the rest of my life cuz I'm too young to get it fixed now. But if there's not, (which i'm hoping for) then I have to have a start out of 6 weeks of physical therapy, then a 6 week check up. Blah.
So that's that set of news. Now for another set.
My dad's gf, Donna, kept hounding me this afternoon to make up my mind about going to Highland Community College. I decided I will go but have not decided on when. Well, at least, not until now. So she was hounding me and hounding me and finally I gave in and says, "Ok, ok! I'll go next semester." So that was that. I'm going to Highland next semester, tomorrow I will go to Highland to meet with an advisor and make up my schedule for that semester. Woop woop!
But the cool part about Highland is: I'm guaranteed a scholarship for tuition and books which is a good chunk of money. Of course, there's a catch. Each department has their own set of standards one has to meet in order to keep the scholarship every semester. I'm going into Computer Graphics which is in the Business department. So I have to keep up 3 things: 1) maintain a 2.5 gpa (no prob) 2) be enrolled in 6 credit hours of Business courses per semester (ok...) and 3) be an active member of BPA (which is Business Principles of America, not a big deal, I was in that in high school). So I'm looking forward to being an active college student. Wee.
I think this is my longest post yet. But I'm not sure... Its long enough I think. And that's all the news I got so yeah.
Catch ya later.

AHHHHH
Now I'm gonna rant.
While I was at the mall with my friend Chase, I got a text message. It was about President-Elect Obama. I understand that there are people that dont like him but I do and I would appretiate it if these kinds of messages would not be sent to my phone. Kay? Thanks.
Jen: FWD: If an apple and obama were dropped from the same tree, who/what would hit the ground first? The apple because obama's rope would stop him half way down.
Naturally, I got pissed. And here's what I said (thanks to Chase)
Me: It's a good thing he had a bungee chord then.
Of course, a bungee chord wasnt intended in the making of this stupid "joke".
Jen: But he's black. His place is to be hanging from a tree like the slave times.
Me: That's fucking racist.
Jen: It's a joke. Calm down.
Me: Dont tell me to calm down because that's not funny and a joke is suppose to be funny.
After that, I got no response. I'm guessing we're not on speaking terms anymore?
Oh well, fine with me.
Bitch.

Why is it when I clean my room, I only make it messier in the process?
I mean really. It doesnt seam like it, but I'm definately a freak about organization. As every teenager's excuse about a messy room, "atleast I know where everything is." Exactly my point. Now, when I clean, I have multiple piles of stuff: theres the trash pile, dirty clothes, clean clothes, and useless junk I cant quite throw away yet. Four piles, small room, not enough space. So, I tend to throw the useless junk and clean clothes on my bed which I then sort later when I have more floor space into clothes I actually want to keep, useless junk that goes in drawers, and useless junk that goes in my closet. The clothes I decide to keep then get seperated into clothes that go int he closet and clothes that go in drawers. I have two dressers, which is nice, one for clothes and one for junk lol. Usually when I start cleaning, I have the motivation, but THEN a really great movie comes on which of course, I start watching then lose all interest in cleaning my room. Sometimes, someone asks if I wanna go do something, most of the time I say sure, so my room never gets clean the day I want it done. Come midnight, when I wanna go to bed, I HAVE NO BED. All my clean clothes and useless junk inhabit it. I dont wanna throw it on the floor because I'd have to pick it up another day - screw that. That equals more work for me. So where do I sleep? Good question. I also have a really comfy chair in my room which is sleep-on worthy. So that's where I'll probably be. haha.
Once I finally get back to cleaning, at the very end, I organize things on my dressers so it looks neat but still has the teenage touch of untidyness.
And voila, clean room but of course, not for long. Hehe.
That's my story for the day.
