So world that I rein over, how have you been? Not very busy I see, but nor have I. There is much to be said and some I don't wish to write. But as of late I have been having a horrid time trying to get words to flow out from me. My neglected nano stands as proof of that. But, for the sake of this world, I'll try.
Let's start of with the worst of it. My parents were in a car crash and the blame was really owed to the snow. That time was the scariest in my life. I had so much doubt and I had more fears then I ever had before. But, thankfully, both of my parents are fine now. Well not fine just yet, but on their way. They are both home and working again. And that is all that matters. Because of that accident, my family's trip to New York was canceled.
But even with our canceled trip, winter break started off early with the second snow day of the year. On which Catey and I got stuck in the snow twice along with Kory and Dani on the second time. It was quite fun after a while. Some random guys pushed us out the first time. Cheers to them, they did a good deed. And the second time we had a shovel ready. And so winter break began. A short while later my friends and I exchanged our secret santa gifts. I received a bracelet and chocolates. After many canceled plans, I finally got to see my out of town boyfriend to give him my Christmas gift (he ordered mine in the mail and it has not arrived yet...stupid mail). I gave him a lanyard for his new keys to his new car, a hat (which is apparently a tradition now), two mixed Cd's for his musical education, and some cologne (best smell on earth). I did well if I do say so myself!
My Christmas was...not the best. But it went as well as to be expected. Catey and I picked out some movies for ourselves and were surprised with our traditional jewelry from our parents. I got a beautiful garnet necklace. And I surprised everyone with gifts I had bought for them (Thank you Emmy). I think they all enjoyed them. Then we watched movies, a very merry Christmas for us.
And now here I am on the eve of New Years Eve. I have a party to go to today, but nothing planned for the actual New Year's. Odd...I hope that changes. I am on the very threshold of 2009 and all I can think about is all that I should have done by now. I had plans for this break - my nano, drarry, math project, my painting - and most are left hardly touched. I find I am more worried about the end of winter break then the end of 2008. I'm always a bit late in realizing the coming of a new year. So it's best to state my resolutions now...
-First off, finish my nano by February. This seems unattainable at this point, but so did nano!
-Second, blog and journal more often. Journal at least once a week. Blog maybe once every 2 weeks. Keep the writing going, I want a career out of this.
-Third, hang out with friends who will actually be here next year, but still stay tight with the seniors (especially the ones who read this!)
-Forth quit smoking and drinking...oh wait I haven't even started! Sweet! One down! Haha
-Fifth keep in shape
ensemble.
And there you are! Hopefully I will actually attain some of these goals! Wish me luck!

Ah Carrie... I saw your post on my most recent blog and realized ventured over to your blog only to notice that you posted a brand new post as well! Kudos for that! I am terribly sorry about you lack of nano-editing ability, I suffer from the same fatal ailment. You had better continue to hang with us, however I do understand that it is probably good to hang around with people who will be around next year... Like ME! :D lol "Forth quit smoking and drinking...oh wait I haven't even started! Sweet! One down! Haha" first i was like " :O " then i was like "haha she was joking!" kudos for a new blog entry, I'll go check out the other one!
I still giggle about essence of man, lol. Well, it is very sad that you did not get to go to New York, but hey, you at least had a nice relaxing Christmas with your family.
And oh, come on, you don't need your sophomore friends :p we're all the friends you need! lol but I know it is going to suck for you when we're all gone away next year, well, alyssa will still be around, and it will suck for us who are away too! Hmm, I feel like my writing is currently incoherent, oh well. I need a nap.
