I am only doing this because I feel like this had to be said. As shitty as 2011 was for me, there were a lot of firsts.
First year without my dad being home every day. I also believe it was the first year I'd been to Massachusetts, although mom disagrees with that. (I will also never learn how to spell "Massachusettes" without spell check.)
I achieved my goal of getting my license.
Purchased my first car; I find it hilarious because my dad once owned a '95 Toyota that he crashed and I wanted that car so bad. The ladies down the street had sold it to him in the late 90's or early 00's. I was a far ways away from my license at that point, wasn't I? Haha.
I got my bedroom back at our old house, and while this wasn't exactly a first, to me it counts.
Did I see any concerts this year? For the life of me, I can't remember, although I probably had. I missed quite a few I had wanted to see. Fitz and the Tantrums. Oh... one.
I threw a Halloween party that everyone enjoyed. I was happy and it was fun. Completely worth the bitching from my mom the day after... and the snowstorm.
I drove in the snow for the first time in my life! And on bald tires nonetheless!
I ate a Pretzel Roll for the first time in April and it was not, and I will tell you NOT, the last time I ate one.
I now own a Smartphone, starting this past year. BOOYEAH, up on the technology now! All I am missing is a tablet... hmmm... (just kidding. And a Keurig. ALL RIGHT I'M STOPPING NOW.)
I bought my mom a laptop and she had no freaking idea that she was getting a laptop for Christmas. She still doesn't know how to use it.
I bought Korean Samsung devices, my phone and my TV. My first flat-screen TV. I adore it. My mom also adored it and went to buy herself a flat-screen TV. ...that Bry and I had to buy for her the day after Black Friday. What did they call that? Black Saturday?
I bought a Playstation 3 on Black Friday this year! I love it. I love it. Assassin's Creed is my favorite game ever now, aside from the original .hack, nothing will ever beat .hack oh.... what was I talking about? I wish piko had a PS3, too.
I GOT AN AMERICAN GIRL DOLL FOR CHRISTMAS FROM SARA!!! Her name is Rebecca and she's Jewish and I love her. I love her, love her, I can't believe I own an American Girl doll, it's what I've ALWAYS WANTED, you have NO IDEA! ♥ I began crying as soon as I saw the stars on her box. It was like love at first sight. I knew what it was and I couldn't believe it. The whole office cried. I still can't believe she did that. (Now I just have to see if someone she likes is playing at a concert somewhere close, get her tickets, and try to get that person to meet her. Somehow. I don't know how, but maybe I can do it.) Hopefully she doesn't read this. NTS: Should I even put that line on LJ?
I am glad to wish 2011 a quick goodbye but hope that it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass this year. I now have 25 days left until I turn 25. ...I can't begin to comprehend that sentence. Why am I not writing my best-selling novel by now?
I also wanted to say a giant THANK YOU! to my friends (who drive me crazy, no lie) for being here when I was feeling down, for my family for... somewhat sticking together, even though they drive me WAY more crazy than my friends will ever be able to do, and for Alex, who has done everything and the extra mile for the last year. ♥ He's even listened to me bitch every single day. I don't know how he puts up with me.
I'm hungry. I need to go make eggs, eat, and get ready to go find a store that's open... somewhere.
