I've realized some things.

First of all, it's 2008 now. Wow. A whole 'nother year gone by. This year has been a lot of things for me. It's been exciting and wonderful, love-filled, tiring, terrifying, fulfilling, and many other words that don't mean a damn thing to anyone but me. That's why I'm writing this blog for me and no one else. I've started to do a lot of things for me and no one else. My writing, for example, has gotten to be a hell of a lot more honest than it's ever been before. Which is odd, considering the protagonist's point of view in which I'm writing is just about as opposite me as she can get. (I am also watching the Fiesta Bowl right now, and to the people that were all "WVU's gonna lose, blah, blah, lalalala..." IN YOUR FACES! WE ARE WINNING 41 TO 28 RIGHT NOW IN THE 4TH YOU JERKS!) I just bled on my computer. Having to check your blood sugar is such a bother when you already know it's low and need to eat something. (Sixty-five yard touchdown by Devine. How amazing. I'm basking in the glow from Arizona.) But, now my finger won't stop bleeding, so my 's' key is a little red.

I've just realized that I get to vote in the presidential election this year for the first time. I guess I need to pay more attention to the candidates now. I think Hillary Clinton is an evil robot. She just freaks me out. I'm a democrat, but I really don't like her. So, I guess I have successfully ruled out one candidate. (I love Schmitt, but his pseudo-hawk is ugly.)

I predict for 2008 that I will have a great year. I will continue to accept that I am drifting and do not know how my life will turn out. I will continue to be okay with that. I will make myself live it the best way I know how and I will kick school in the ass. I will be able to play some song really well on the guitar by this time next year. I will fall more in love with Jason even though that isn't hard for me to do. I fell hard for him from day one, and I never really stopped falling. I will be healthy and hopefully not have to take so many pills. I will FINISH a story. Short stories don't count. I will love and try to be a better person. Sometimes I hate who I am, and I want to make myself someone of whom I can be proud. And I WILL get my phoenix tattoo sometime this year. Maybe I'll get married. Who knows?

I got to see all of the fearsome foursome together today all at once. Even though we had to fight kids and babies and a dog and snow to do it. I hadn't seen Emily since Thanksgiving (wow, I didn't realize how long it had been), and that was awesome. I found someone that shares my love for Rambo movies, and she also happens to be the same one that shares my love for Rocky movies. I love my Babe. She's one of the people that help me to hold on daily, and she'll never notice or accept it.

Well, my lethargy is winning out, and the ball game has 1:56 left on the clock. I'm happy for my team. They couldn't beat Pitt (grrrr), and Rodriguez is an asshole, but they won tonight. Ahh, the simple pleasures of football. I am wrapped in my electric blanket, I took my four pills of the night, and I'm off to chemically-induced la-la land. Goodnight and merry new year. Life is good.
