2004... YOU SUCK!!!
Sink holes galore, before and after the hurricanes. One of the heaviest wet seasons, proceeded by one of the worst droughts ever. The worst hurricanes of the year for us. All banging Florida into the ground like a cheap sex toy (Holy crap, can't believe I just said that)... A market and economic failure when it came to the citrus industry, Florida's leading export. Unusually fierce cold fronts sweeping all the way down into the Caribbean. The freezes leading to crop failures all over, killing the already thrashed soil. I'm sure there was some sort of insect epidemic earlier in the year too... And now an earthquake that reached an 8 on the Richter scale (which is HUGE!!!), which created a massive tsunami that killed at least 25 people at it's initial impact -- not to mention anything about what the aftershocks will do.... And that's just natural disasters and stuff! I mean... this year has been insane!!!
... All right, so the tsunami doesn't have anything to do with Florida, but I mean, come on... It's been one heck of a year... I'm out of high school and having to adjust to college. At the beginning of the year, I was dumped by the only guy I'd had a real sort of relationship with (at the time). I lost one of the most important people in my life at only 77 (all you freaking smokers out there better quit before you go off and hurt someone as bad as I'm hurting now), someone I didn't even realize meant so much until it was too late for me to make up all the time I wasted. Had to try and learn to cope with an independence I really didn't want or expect to be thrown at me so suddenly, and then once I was ready to stretch it, getting pulled back, because I'm needed.... Losing out on ECSAR, losing my once paying job status, and now trying to start out on a career path I don't even know WHAT I'm doing!!... Oooh yah... And I fell into a relationship with a man I could only dream about. Hmm...
SOOO all in all... This year was... pretty damn awful... Except for that last part... The man of my dreams part? That probably is the best my life has ever been, not just this year.
But yah... I'll be happy when it's 2005... so if you want to ask me about school, and this past year, anything other than about the love of my life (cause he's my happy thoughts)... wait another week...
Thanks ^.^
