things have changed for me and that's okay

2010 has been awesome for the most part. it went tremendously quickly but at the same time i suppose a lot of significant things happened and yeah.

i did a lil' bit of detective work and found my new years post from last year and i thought i'd do a dandy little bit of reflection. yee ha

1. exercise. for real. not my current kind where i do a couple of sit-ups and then get bored and eat mnm's instead.
2. courage. this year is going to be based on intuition and instincts. i am going to live in the moment, every moment.spontaneity is my new philosophy
3. appreciation. i have this awful habit of taking the greatest things in my life -*cough* friends cough*- for granted. from now on i am doing my part.
4. love. general love for all i guess. except those freaking iris birds with the sword things coming out of their face. i always feel like they'll peck out my eyes and proceed by stealing my food. joy.
5. memories. if everything goes to plan, 2010 will be the year of making memories unlike any other

oh hey i didn't go too badly!

maybe.. well whatever lets see

1. i kept the exercise thing up for a while i suppose..like a couple of months and then i got bored and decided to live instead of wasting my time. yeah that went to shit because now i'm just unhealthy and self-loathing. MAYBE something to work on

2. hey i did that pretty well! i had a lot more fun this year because i made decisions based on what i really wanted and it was sweet. definitely a change for the better

3. wweeell i tried my best. i know i took things for granted less and like had a lot more appreciation for those around me but i just have to work on outwardly communicating that.

4. i think i did alright. by observing conflict around me, i learnt this year more than ever that there is no point in argument and hatred and stuff. i can't really deal with it, i end up going crazy. so like yeah i'll spread the love and stuff!

5. memories. well yeah i'm not gonna lie there were heaps and stuff. it was the most memorable year so far i suppose. OH HERE I'M GOING TO RE-CAP PURELY FOR MY OWN ENJOYMENT.

in no order:

• i went skydiving
• i lived in new zealand for 6 weeks
• i had a stranger living with me for 6 weeks
• i performed in a musical
• i made friends with and dated someone lovely
• things happened to make me realise he wasn't so lovely
• i made new friends
• i made a tumblr
• i made memories and a ridiculous amount of photos with those i adore
• i joined a band. it failed.
• i joined another band.
• wabonga
• my parents got separated.
• green day, vampire weekend, jack johnson
• more photos
• i made teacher friends!
• i learnt to juggle
• i learnt to say the alphabet backwards super quickly
• i made pasta at least once a week
• i learnt that i'd spelt 'definitely' wrong my whole life
• i did alright and stuff!

and yeah so it was cool and all but there is stuff i want to change and am determined to actually stick to these things. i clumsily wrote a list last night at approximately 12:47 on my phone so now i will kindly copy it here

• eat no chocolate, chocolate based products, anything involving cocoa solids
• make more friends outside school. that includes cultured people i wouldn't usually be meeting. (eg an elderly person)
• go to the city more. because melbourne is fun. yay!
• get a job. because i'm lazy and need money
• save money. see above
• take photos. and also print heaps out! i've decided to utilise photo albums more often and stuff so i can keep photos forever and be all reminiscent and such when i'm elderly
• get the band off the ground. because we're amazing and soon things will happen and stuff
• get awesome grades. i'm going to own year ten in the face
• wear glasses. i don't wear my glasses because i think i look stupid but i've come to realise i look worse walking around squinting at things and asking others to read the bus numbers out for me
• be spontaneous. because it's fun. what of it?
• get and stay fit. needs to be done
• read about stuff. and become super knowledgeable and such
• learn to cook difficult meals. as to expand my cooking skills past cookies and pasta
• have an awesome year. yeeah and stuff

so yeah there you go

i guess i'll do the same thing next year?

if i'm keeping up this piece-o-shit blog still

i have to go pack a bag and clean my room

PEACE

+ i want to become friends with the demon girl

because otherwise i'm afraid i will die
