A-Z, my 2008

A- Awesomeeee. This was the catchphrase of my friend Ryann from MCAD. She had a way of drawing out the word in a silly way. Needless to say it began uses it the same way quite frequently.
B- Blogging. This is a recent thing that I've taken up via the class "Blogging with Becky" it's something that I hope to continue because surprisingly I enjoy it.
C- Caitie. My best friend, I guess you could say, and pretty much the only person I hang out with outside of school anymore.
D- Dad. My dad and I have a lot in common, he's very near and dear to my heart.
E- Eventful. What I wish my life was, sadly I'm bored the majority of the time. I write this as a reminder that if I want things to happen I can't just wait around for them to me, sometimes I have to go to them... so if I want to be doing a lot of activities and going to a lot of events I have make the effort to do so.
F- Fake. Something I don't like about myself. I feel like I gossip about people and am nice to them the next and I still don't feel completely comfortable in my own skin and so I feel like I have to act like the people around me, and being like them makes me fake because I'm not saying what I really think or how I really feel.
G- Google. It's a very helpful website for all the little things that I'm curious about. It's also pretty useful for research papers : ).
H-Hairstyles. Lately I've been thinking about lots of ways that I can change my hair. Don't get me wrong, I really like my natural color and have always felt that a medium length is the best look for me, but I sort of want to experiement with it while I'm still young. I want to try auburn and then blond with pink underneath, crazy I know.
I- Independent. Now that I'm 18 I feel like I should be more responsible and not blame others for my own mistakes. I've been trying to be independent more and more so when I'm on my own making important decisions won't be as difficult.
J- Guy's whose name starts with J. I usually find myself crushing on a guy whose names starts with this letter, and I'm pretty boy crazy (believe it or not) so it's usually more than one guy at a time. I just think it's a funny coincidence.
K- Kare 11, a news channel that I find myself watching to know what's up locally and nationally.
L- Love. Fascinating, confusing, wonderful, are words that I would use to describe it. Patience, understanding and time are what I feel it requires. I'm in love with the idea of love, I've been searching for it for awhile now.
M- Music. I wake up to it, it's gets me going, pumps me up. It's an emotional release, I blast it when I'm pissed off. It adds to any experience, sound makes movies more interesting, (in my opinion) and motivates people to dance. I'm also a pretty musical person who likes to sing and play a few instruments.
N- Neglect. This year I have been extremely anti-social. I never hang out with my old friends, I never call them or if by chance they call me return their calls, so in essence by neglecting my so called friends I've become a loner. Fun stuff.
O- Open. I strive to be open-minded about things that are new or unusual to me. I'm also trying to be open by telling people how I feel (as cheesy as that may sound) because I always feel afraid to share these things.
P- Photography. I have a habit of losing my camera, and find it when I clean my room. Sadly the last time that I cleaned my room I didn't find it. Wish me luck.
Q- Quiet time. I need a lot of just that to clear my thoughts. When I don't have time to just sit and think and sit by myself I go crazy.
R- Reality. I've drifted from it at many points this year, fantasy just seems so much better, but I know that I can't live my life in a dream world and some day I will have to face the real world, hardships, mistakes and all.
S- Sarcasm. I am so sarcastic so often that sometimes I don't even realize that I've made a sarcastic remark. I should probably work on that.
T- Television. I was once a coach potato, but was able to ween myself away from it eventually. I stopped watching TV cold turkey for nearly a year (because once I turn it on I can't bring myself to turn it on) but this year I've started to sink back into my old habits. I watch TV because I'm stressed and when I get stressed I stop doing anything at all, I freeze up not knowing how to handle the situation.
U- Universities, or rather colleges. (so I guess I'm cheating on this one) Applying to such places and thinking about my future, it's pretty intimidating.
V- Videos. My weekends almost always consist of watching at least one movie. I'm currently taking video production so I'm making videos too. I'm learning just how much work it takes to make a video. It took me at least 3 hours editing pieces of video for an end product that wasn't more than 2 minutes.
W- Winter. My least favorite season because of the cold, but I've learned to adapt to it. I'll have to seeing that next year I might be living in Canada. And if I layer up it's actually not that bad.
X- Xerox copies. My mom tends to make a copy of anything she deems important, which includes a lot of my old poetry and artwork. I guess I should be proud that she wants to do that, but I sort of feel embarrassed, I also see it as sort of a waste of paper.
Y- Youtube. I've recently been able to immerse myself in videos galore, until this point I hadn't been able to watch videos on youtube due to the uber slowness of my computer, I really can't stress how slow it is. I'll just say one word: dial-up. BUT on weekends I am lucky enough to watch as many videos as I want on my dads new and improved HIGH SPEED!!!
Z- Zzz =sleep, or my lack of it. If I don't get at least 10 hours of sleep I feel like a zombie the next day. The last couple of weeks I've found myself starring at my alarm clock at 12:30 a.m and cursing my brain for not being able to turn off.
