I'm going to update my Year in Review similar to the way Jon did, because i liked it.
As you all know I've claimed 2005 to be my worst year ever. Indeed, how the mighty have fallen.
The year started out great, i must say. I was in New Hampshire with Kristin, and were at her house with her friends Andrew and Caitlin, and their boyfriends (Andrew is gay, by the way). We just got done watching 'Elf' on DVD and the ball dropped. I kissed Kristin into the new year, and we took some pictures, and went to sleep. The next semester of school started, and, with Kristin living in Buffalo, i ended up whipping its ass, getting my best GPA ever in a semester, although its only a 3.066, it was well earned. Hockey and Work were the norm, nothing really changing. However, Things with Kristin and I spiraled horribly through that semester too. From January to May, Things got bad, as we started arguing and fighting all of the time. This really messed with me too, because I had no idea why we were doing it! I mean, in January, I was seriously comtemplating buy an engagement ring, but the thought of marriage and kids and moving messed me up. Its what i wanted, but that whole "im only 20" thing is what did it.
So, in May, Kristin went home, and in my last attempt to get us to talk about our problems, i broke up with her. Well, i pretended I did. She came back from Buffalo and we talked, finally, and things got real good again for a few...days. Like a fucking week or so. We hung out, did stuff, and had fun, but the arguing became problematic again. We didn't fix the problem. So In July, a few days after my birthday, i was talking to B online and told him i was going to break up with her. Then he asked me a question about why we fought, and I couldn't really answer it. However, after talking to him, and doing a lot of thinking on my own, i realized i love Kristin more than i'll ever love another person, and i wanted to marry her. So I woke up the next day, went to Kay Jewlers, and I picked out a ring.
The next day, she broke up with me.
Mind you, 15 hours after we broke up, we went to Dan's wedding, where I was just a wreck. That was also the week of my cottage, where i couldn't eat, i couldn't sleep, and i couldn't have an ounce of fun. My favorite place in the world fucking sucked ass for the first time ever, and I'll never have that back.
Kristin was dating some guy 15 days after we broke up, and it drove me nuts. I wanted to be with her so bad, and it just didn't happen.
So basically, the next few months, as we all know, consisted of me sucking at life, being sad, torn, crying, wrecked, and missing her so much. Eventually tho, in November, I got better. It had a lot to do with not talking to her, and thats cool.
I started hanging out with, and liking, other girls too! The two that stand out the most are Kristin B and Leanne. I mean, I have fun with them, and i know i like them, but each situation ended the same way: Them telling me i was great, and then them not going out with me, each with their own reason. Fine, whatever.
December came around, and Kristin got bit by the 'Dump Bug' as Chris dumped her for reasons I won't say. Either way, she needed someone to talk to and i knew that I was going to do it. I had to try to be her friend. She'd be there for me. She got her heart really broken tho, and she knows exactly how i feel now. But she's getting better. That kid was a fucking loser anyways.
Of course, my feelings for her are doing their best to fight themselves back into my head. I can be her friend one minute, and wanting her back the next. Its crazy, and she even had to tell me that she'll never ever be with me ever again, which is fucking with me a lot lately. Everything we talked about, the future, the everything...is just a bunch of lies now. The best two years of my life are just a bunch of words that never meant anything in the end. Well, not from my end anyway.
And to just answer some questions people wonder about why i'm not over her: I love her with all of my heart, and I always will. I know that love the insides and outsides of her completely, and I'll do anything in my power to make her happy. She'll always have my heart, regardless of how she treats it. I can't help it. I know i Love her.
So whatever. The rest of the stuff in my life had some mega-changes too. At Tops Darlene left to go to Nashville (on the same day K dumped me) and i never got to really say good bye. But i did get to go back into the Carryout because of it. Of course, I would have to quit December 2nd, which is crazy. I got a new job at HSBC Arean, primarily thanks to Adam. That job is really fun though, and the people there are great.
Hockey has been okay. The Snakes moved to Mineral Springs, and we're doing okay, finally getting a regular team to show up every week, thanks to getting the guys from Swarm. Tuesdays and Thursdays though, we're really amazing. I love it.
Dave and Busters opened up. I am happy because of this.
My family has been cool as of late. Not a lot of pointless bitching. Lisa is happy with her boyfriend (she dumped her old one like two weeks before K and I broke up), Dad is still an ass a lot of the time, but he has been cooler moreso as the year moved on. Mom lost a LOT of weight, and even has a boyfriend right now! My aunt Susie is getting married on V-Day in '06, followed by my cousin Serena in October. I put them in the 05 update though because the engagements were announced then. No one had a baby though, save for Adam, who had one on the first day of the year, lol. I've been seeing and talking to Adam more and more, he's always been there for me. Thanks man.
Jon moving back is great, Ian is always awesome although his year was kinda topsy turvy too. B kinda disappeared, but is starting to be more visible. I started talking to Sarah a lot more, which is great. Ro is Ro, thats perfect. Eh, i dont want to do everyone.
I also started hanging out with the Snakes a LOT more. Sam and Ritz especially. I like hanging with them a ton. They're really good friends of mine, and its good that i see them more. I also see Jay Gelsomino more now, and we've become friends as well. He's a riot.
For the most part, 2005 was the worst year ever. I fucking hate you 2005. You ruined my cottage, and broke my heart.
Yes, some good was there, i'll admit it, but most of it was about the breaking down of my relationship with Kristin, and then the dismantling of my heart by Kristin.
I learned my lesson. My time is now. Its time for Joe to be happy again.
2006: The year of the Joe (and the Superfriends) ON! *Push Start*
One last thing:
It took Jesus three hours and help from Peter to carry his cross up Calvary Hill. Chuck Norris made it in 00:07:26
Love you K..
Hate you 2005,
Later Dayz :-)
