In closing...2008

So, as fast as it came, it went. I don't really understand how it came to be that it flew by so fast, but 2008 is now just a distant memory for most and I am still trying to get used to writing Dec on everything. Now, I must remember that it is an entirely new year. I hate that it comes so quickly because that just means in a few short 7 months I will be one year older, still single and lonely with no new prospects. I must say tho, that I have met someone, and for now it is 3 wks into it and so far so good. However, I do still wait for the phone call that says he's more interested in me as a friend and somehow deemed me not girlfriend material, but until that day comes, I will still think that he is cute.

I have high expectations for myself in 2009. I am no longer going to let things bother me that are out of my control. If you don't do it, then you don't do it and I am no longer going to get pissed off at the things that I cannot change about myself or other people. I am not going to seek out that one person who was supposed to have been made for me...(actually I think that I was skipped in the soul mate department) and just let what ever happens happen. No more hurt feelings and random thoughts of violence. It just leaves me thirsty and tired.

Now, thanks to my friend Tim, here is another stupid questionnaire that we are all made to answer...

The BEST part of 2008?

-I would have to say that the best part of 2008 for new was getting to meet my new nephew Gavin. He is so sweet and cute and adorable...I just want to eat him all up.
-Staying healthy was a big plus this year.
-Not losing my job made things much easier.
-Getting to witness history with the first African American President, Obama, win the election and knowing that I was smart enough in my decisions to help elect him. (I did have help with this)

What would you have CHANGED about 2008?

-There are a couple of people who I met this year that I really wish I would have never met...I regret it!
-I would have changed my mind and not moved work locations.
-I would have changed my mind about my living conditions also.
-I would have changed the fact that the guy who is supposed to me my dad hardly talks to me or my brother anymore. This really bothers me..but I talk until I am blue in the face and it does not one bit of good.

Any New Years Resolutions for 2009?

-No, no resolutions for me. I don't understand why people make them in the first place, because for me, I would have already broken them, and then I would have been depressed for the next year because I was not able to accomplish them. It is a waste of time to sit down and say out loud all of these things that you want to change, when for the last 6 years of your life, they have always been the same. Nope, for me, I know what has to be done, no one needs to hear it out loud and that is good enough for me.

Take any fun trips or vacations this year?

-No, but I wish.

Best part of 2008 and the worst part of 2008?

-I think that I already answered this with the first two questions...please see above :)

What was your biggest achievement?

-I would have to say nothing. I feel that I am still an ongoing achievement in who and what I am trying to become and do with myself. Don't push me though, it takes time to get it right!!

What was the best thing you bought and the worst thing you bought?

-I would say that the best thing I bought this year would have to be everything that I bought that I wanted. I don't think that I would be able to list one particular item. If for me, I wanted to and bought it, then it would have been the best purchase.
-I don't think that this falls under the best purchase column but I did get introduced to the wonderful world of panty buying...I didn't realize how sexy it made one person feel until they had those little pieces of material against their bodies...and how addicting it has become to find the cutest ones out there...OH WOW. To the person who introduced me, I thank you.
-I would have to say the worst purchase that I made this year was.....? I don't think that I made a "Worst Purchase".

Best advice of the year and the worst advice of the year?

-The best advice that I got this year was to always be yourself and listen to your heart.
-The worst advice was that I followed that stupid fuckin saying, and just ended up regretting it, just as I knew I would.

Did you meet anyone new this year?

-Yes a couple of new people.

Any new love interests flowing over into 2009?

-NO

Get your heart broken by anyone this year?

-I would not say that I got my heart broken, because you have to put your heart out there and that is something that I learned not to do!! I might have gotten my feelings hurt a couple of times...but that wont happen again because I will not put my feelings out there to get walked all over like I don't matter.

One-night stands?

-Yes...if you are single, you have one night stands; I don't care who you are and if you say that you haven't then I think you are a fibber....

Anything hot/steamy enough to make your blood boil?

-Well, there was this one vision of a black mask and whip...

Any new body piercings or tattoo work?

-Nope

Plan the demise or death of someone who hurt you?

-Yes...and I think that I might need medications!!

What was your favorite movie?

-Twilight

Worst Movie?

-Rocky and Rambo. I don't know if they came out in 2008, but I say them both recently and I have to just say honestly that they really sucked ass big time!!!

Read any good books?

-The Twilight series was really good.

Meet any new people who you now consider friends?

-Yes, and they are quite awesome.

So, in closing, I must say that all in all 2008 was just like any other year. My life really doesn't change that much from year to year that has me gasping in anticipation. My New Years was very quite since I am single and once again the same old company that I had was my dog, the T.V and a bunch of drunk friends.. I watched the fireworks from bed this year and talked to my really drunk brother on the phone, my dad called me, which made me happy and I actually ended up feeling a little sad that I was going to bed alone with no one to wake up too. Oh well, such is life.
