This past year has just flown by! So many memories and experiences. Most of them good, I would say about 90% of this past year were nothing but good times with good people. I'm coming up on my twenty-second birthday realizing that I have done a lot more living in these twenty-two years than most in their late twenties. For that, I'm thankful. I think everything up til now has been a great learning experience and has made me a better person in the end.
Let's recap, shall we?
Probably the biggest thing to happen this year would be the break up with Doug. After close to two years of being together I decided to break things off with him. It's a long story and those who really need to know the whole story already know. Lets just say that there were mistakes made on both sides. But looking back on the entire length of our relationship I can't help but smile and think of all the great times we had. He was my first with most things and absolutely my first love. I believe it now when people say you don't forget your first love. In the end I think is good for both of us so we can get our lives in order without having to take the other into so much consideration. Its hard to focus on personal goals when you are happy with the way your love life is going. He is back in Tallahasse now living at home and doing really well. His Moms apartment looks amazing, they really put a lot of work into it after he moved back home. I went up there for his birthday a couple weeks ago. I had a good time, but it really confirmed my belief that what happened between us was for the best. I still miss being able to talk to him into the early morning hours though.
School is school. Haha. I really can't say much about it, other than I'm completely ready to be done with it. I will probably graduate next December, a half a year late but hey...doesn't everyone take that long these days? I'm ready to be done with college but it still blows my mind that if I had stayed on track in school that I could be standing in front of a class of high schoolers by this fall teaching them some kind of Social Studies. Oh, by the way in case you haven't heard I changed my major from Business to Social Science education (hence graduating late). Could you imagine me teaching kids only 4 or 5 years younger than myself? INSANE! All I do know is that I plan on being the coolest teacher ever if not the hottest. (kidding). Hopefully I will be as prepared as the college of education claims it gets people to stand in front of a classroom and actually hold down the camp. Imagine yourself in the same situation, could you keep a class of highschoolers calm and collected AND teach them something at the same time? I have trouble with an apartment full of college kids trying to pick out a movie to watch.
The family is well. Well I guess depending on who you ask. Mom seems to be happy just about as much as she has since she hooked up with Grandpa George. She just always seems like shes putting up this front of happiness and you're never quite sure if its an act. I hope shes truly happy though. Dad is Dad. I really can't say much about him because I totally believe that you decide your own happiness and if he has made the choices that he has. Well I can't feel sorry for him if he's unhappy. My brother, same story. Although it looks likes he's about to make some choices that will ultimately improve his situation. Whether its counseling or just throwing in the towel, I hope he thinks about it long and hard because with that stupid peice of paper (marriage license), he could get taken to the cleaners. My nephew is seriously starting to worry me. I still don't understand the development of little kids but hes 2 and 2months and he still can't say but 4 words. Somethings wrong with that right? From what I do know, I don't believe a child can learn to talk by being placed in front of a television. They need someone to sit and talk to them one on one right? Well hes still cute as shit though, so hes got that goin for him.
Work is still the best college job anyone could have. Yes, there are those few days where they get their monies worth out of me. But seriously, I only actually "work" about 10% of the time. The rest is me reading the newspaper or working on homework. BEST JOB ever. I appreciate it more and more as time goes on. This month makes it 2 years that I've worked there. Believe me, this job is worth having for SOOOO many different reasons. One drawback---> I work in the mall.
I'm still living with Mr.Key. He is also the best roommate anyone could ask for. I realize the ideal roommate cleans up after themselves, but after seeing so many other peoples roommates I know I lucked out. Our apartment might be a wreck most of the time but after we can't stand it anymore we make it look pretty good. All we need is a reason to clean, so if anyone wants to come for a visit just let us know a week in advance. You're really doing us (and our house) a favor by visiting because we will actually deep clean! We have the best friendship and roommate relationship out of anyone I know. I really could live with this person forever, too bad he's not the man of my dreams and I'm not the woman of his dreams. *shudders* bad thought, why did I even pause to imagine that.
Reflecting on this twenty-first year i've had on this Earth I really have lived it up. Not that I didn't drink before hand, but this past year it was a little out of control at times. I have learned many lessons, some the hard way about being responsible and knowing my limits. I've made some pretty poor choices and I believe have learned from them as well. If there is any advice that people should listen to it's get a designated driver! I've seen too many DUI's first hand by people close to me and trust me, it's the worst thing that can happen to someone. Trust me, a DUI can happen to anyone. Not just alcoholics or celebrities. Drive responsibly. I'm not trying to be preachy, I've just dodged too many bullets myself and realize how lucky I am not to be in the same situation.
Looking ahead, I hope to have a great twenty-second year as well. Not too sure what's in store for me. Not really planning on anything. Like I said before, I've learned a lot in these past few years. So I will just go with the wind and float about and see where it takes me. School will definately become top priority so I can hurry up and start teaching impressionable young teenagers (mu ha ha)!! Seriously, I don't know why i'm so anxious to get out of school when in reality i'll just be going right back into it. Although, with an interesting sadistic twist this time! Lordy, it will be lots of stories to say the least.
Hope all is well with everyone. After years of having this livejournal and only abusing it by reading everyone elses and never posting I've decided to reciprocate. Although i'm behind on the times so i'm not even sure people use this anymore.... Hmm.... Well this will be a fun little experiment then. I know all people expect out of my posts are those stupid quizzes, but look!!! A real post this time. Probably my first ever actually.
Surprise kids :) |

I love you... I love you... I love you
Baby I love you
You are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete
If you weren't by my side
You're my relation
In connection to the sun
With you next to me
There's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrop
I am a seed
With you and God, who's my sunlight
I bloom and grow so beautifully
Baby, I'm so proud
So proud to be your girl
You make the confusion
Go all away
From this cold and messed up world
I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
Cause I'm Dangerously In Love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me
And I know you love me
Love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am
Baby you were my man
I know it ain't easy
Easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication
From you to me
Later on in my destiny
I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife
And I see my whole future in your eyes
Thought of all my love for you
sometimes make me wanna cry
Realize all my blessings
I'm grateful
To have you by my side
Every time I see your face
My heart smiles
Every time it feels so good
It hurts sometimes
Created in this world
To love and to hold
To feel
To breathe
To love you
Dangerously in love
Can't do this thing
I love you , I love you, I love you
I'll never leave
Just keep on loving me
I'm in love with you
I can not do
I cannot do anything without you in my life
Holding me, kissing me, loving me
Dangerously
I love you
Dangerously in love |
