2009 in review
The beginning of the year started off pretty interesting. Me and an old friend of mine had a falling out a few years ago, but we made amends and now she's my BFF, but I'll go into that in another post, since I owe her. She came back at kind of a weird time, dropping right in the middle of some drama that I was going through. I'm surprised she didn't run away all "lol wow fuck that noise". Then more drama happened, and the only person to stick by my side was reirei. She listened to all my bitching with an impartial ear and helped me though a shitty time in my life and I can't thank her enough for that. So yeah, buncha retarded drama at the beginning of the year that I've gotten over a long time ago. Moving on.
One of our dogs had a spine problem and had to be put down. Shortly thereafter we got a new puppy, a Pembroke welsh corgi which I didnt get to name, so her name's Bree, I still love her. I payed for her and everything. I was on cloud 9 since I've wanted a corgi for years. As time went on, she slowly became my mom's dog and totally ruined her, like I knew would happen. Ah well, someday I'll have my own dog and it'll be the best dog in the world!
A few months ago my dad had a heart attack. Big scare for everyone. He's diabetic, so that's a couple strikes against him already. Since then, he's been eating more healthy and taking better care of himself, which I'm happy for. He's doing much better but I still worry sometimes. My dad is like my best friend, he's someone I feel I can go and talk to about just about anything. He's someone I look up to and strive to be more like, and I hope he lives a long time to come.
I also finally bought myself a nice tv, which I was supposed to get for Xmas last year, then was supposed to get for my bday. Finally I just decided to buy it myself and I couldn't be happier. Now I get to play all the awesome games that came out this year on a nice HDTV.
Work's been a constant thorn in my side all year, it all seems to boil down to my boss being a gigantic douche. But no one likes their job, so I just try to push on. Can't afford to quit and honestly, if it wasn't for my boss, it'd be a really good job... just wish I got paid a little more.
I've been trying to draw a little more, I've found some good motivation. Drawing fanart for my friend, just wish she'd request some things more often so I can keep those creative juices flowing. I don't usually make resolutions, but I decided that mine will be to try and do more art. I'm off to a good start so we'll see how long I can keep it rolling.
All in all, it was a year full of ups and downs. Like riding a big roller coaster, at the end you're left breathless and excited for the next one. Hopefully next year will bring more ups than downs. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
