2009...The Year of MINE

Leaving the crazy ups and downs of 2008, im looking forward to 2009. I feel like there is no where to go but up. I made it through 2008 without dying, getting pregnant, getting an std, getting fired, and destroying my liver (i hope). So moving on from all that, 2009 is going to be the year that I get shit done! So I wrote a list of 100 things i want to do before I die a while ago, and I actually accomplished some of them last year:

  • Skydive
  • Lose 50 Lbs
  • See New York
  • Get a bikini wax
  • Remove moles
  • Sing in front of people
  • Get rid of my ingrown toenail
  • Dance on a bar
  • Get a massage
  • Wear flowers in my hair

So some of them were pretty simple and some not so simple, but im glad to see i got them done. I decided to map out which ones I was going to try for this year:

  • Scuba dive
  • Know what it is like to wear a size 8
  • See Costa Rica
  • Own a successful business
  • Punch someone first
  • Punch a guy, or someone bigger
  • Be truly happy
  • Get out of debt
  • Learn to surf well
  • Go fishing with Dad
  • Learn to cook
  • Simplify my life
  • Run a marathon
  • Do the splits
  • Get a tattoo
  • Get my passport
  • Make an igloo

So i am hoping to get all of these done. I think i picked some good goals that I can handle. Wish me luck!!

2008...Not So Great

Wow...2008...what a crazy year. Hmmm maybe its time to document the year.

January-I started off the year moving into my new SWEET apartment. I weighed about 215 pounds. I was miserable from just breaking up with Manu. I probably cried myself to sleep about half of the nights.

February- I got sent to D.C. for work. I worked about 80 hours a week and never got to see the light of day. I got to go to New York with my family. I spent valentines day at work and got to spend the day laughing about my fake valentine eugene. I got SO mad that manu got me a BEAR and I ranted and raved to everyone that i could find.

March-I was finally home from DC. We went to Monk's for St. Patricks day. I found out that manu had been talking to a girl on my birthday the year before and I totally fell apart. I decided not to talk to manu at all anymore.

April-We went to Miami for Steph's birthday. We went to a club where we were the ONLY white girls, Steph kissed her first black guy, and I probably got mono from somebody on that trip. We started working out at the beginning of April and I lost 15 pounds before our Miami trip.

May-We went to Jackson, and we started going out a lot. We met Mo and Ron the porn guy and the molester and they took us to breakfast. We also met Joe and Con...

June-We went to Phoenix to visit Greg, which turned into a disaster. Still in pain, I decided it was a good idea to drink my way through the summer to heal my pain. 

July- Steph, me and Abbey went to LA and hung out with curlee, this is when my mono came in full force I felt like I had daggers in my throat and I was having fevers every 4 hours but I came through like a champ. The mono ended up helping me lose a ton of weight which ended up being 50 pounds by the end of the summer. I met kurtis and tatum at some point in july. Also we met Asa and Mafi, who terrorized our house and we took them out to the gay bar with us. Marques messaged me on myspace towards the end of the month and we hung out with him a bunch. He introduced us to Bently who introduced us to AI who introduced us to Killa and the whole G crew.

August- Abbey got married and moved within a weeks time. We went to Nicole's wedding in Canada and broke down at her wedding and decided to leave early. I met Durwin while Steph was in Iowa and immediately had a connection, which he ruined but it eventually came back.

September- I mostly drank a lot and hung out with AI and Bently. Steph and I went to Hawaii for a week.

October- We went to Vegas for Halloween. Durwin and I started talking again and I fell in love...fast. He got in trouble and had to leave back to LA. I met John in early October...he is the sweet one.

November- My birthday month! I went to visit Durwin a couple times and then we had a little issue on thanksgiving and I havent talked to him since. I was broken hearted for the whole weekend, then told myself I couldnt cry anymore.

December- Steph found out she was pregnant. We decided to get out of our business venture that we started with AI and Killa. Lots of December was spent hurting and trying to get over things. Yay for 2009...
