Here I sit, falling into the cliches of being nostalgic now that the new year is a few days away. So it goes. I guess cliches wouldn’t be true if they didn’t hold some truth.
So much has changed this year. Right off the bat, I don’t feel like I’ve changed to much, but when I think of who I was December 31, 2010 and who I am now, I think it’s safe to say that my attitude and outlook have definitely changed. I’ve finally gotten to the point where I don’t care if the situation becomes awkward or uncomfortable, I am going to be upfront about things. I know that would have done me some good in past relationships and I’m sorry for taking so long to be upfront. I’m always going to be who I want to be and no one is going to change me. I cannot change anyone either and I’ve learned to accept that, no matter how hard I pushed in the past.
2012 brings a lot of promises. Promises that I hope are fulfilled. I’ve stumbled upon a different career path, which makes so much sense now, but I’m trying to figure out where to go with it. The promise of moving with my three (hopefully four) best friends after our roadtrip makes me very excited for the future. Although, the move won’t happen until mid or end of 2012 due to graduation. I’m still hopeful and I’m still excited.
But for now, it’s still 2011 and I still have a few days left to continue to make memories. Even if Christopher and I are trying to get all of our bad decisions out of our system… I am still a pretty good kid and I know things will end on a high note as I ring in the new year without male or friend drama with two of my best friends.
I am ending this asking for forgiveness to anyone I have hurt in this past year, while forgiving those who have hurt me. And to quote my favorite band who is still together, fun.: Let your lungs fill up with smoke. Forgive everyone.
not to get all cheesey on you, but…

Sorry for the neglect. Twitter has taken over my posts. Damn it’s quick and dirty updates that claim to help me find jobs. [I mean, I did find a job opening via Twitter and I may have an interview on Wednesday…] But, that doesn’t mean I should neglect you. I was looking through my old posts and realized how much I had forgotten and then remembered about these past few years and since I fail, I won’t have the same “written memories” about these past six months or so.
So, kids, I’m back. For now at least. Until I find a real job. Or this might be better if I find a real job.
With graduation and cleaning out my room back home, I’ve been very nostalgic lately. So, I need a place to keep track of what’s going on in my life. And in a better forum than my angsty teen girl journals. Writing this now will make me want to keep up with my posts. So, there you have it folks, I’m back. And hopefully will find some more interesting things to tell you. In the meantime, good night and good luck.
was the fact that I didn’t have to pay to go. The school paid for the flight and hotel and will be reimbursing me for my food.
I did go to the casino for the first time. It was fun. I made a whopping $2.86 on the penny slots. David lost $15. I guess I had better beginner’s luck. When I actually have some money to play with (and once I practice more) I think I’d be pretty good at Blackjack.
and I’m stuck in Kansas City. :/ We didn’t even do anything today. We could’ve flown in tomorrow. Oh well. So it goes. That’s what I get for being an awesome sales person.
Also, there is nothing to do in the city. It seems deserted. There are only restaurants around us. And half of them aren’t even open. It’s so weird.
Tomorrow I get to work on my sales skills in order to convince people that my program is the best. We’ll see how this goes.
I’m headed to Kansas City this week. [On Darren’s birthday :(…] I’ve been quite the traveler through the States this year. New York a few times, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Texas and now Missouri. [I don’t really get to travel much due to school, so this is exciting for me.]
I’m not really sure what there will be to do in KC, but I have no expectations, so it might be cool. I was slightly disappointed in Dallas just because it didn’t feel like Texas to me. I needed more cowboys and cacti!
in Dallas. Haunted House for free. Lots of other free stuff. Personal pool party. Oh, and it’s not even midnight. However, it is bedtime. Until tomorrow!
At this place called Gator’s. And we’re the only ones here… And the guy outside tried to sell us flowers…
