i am, i am ready to be new again
let's make this year a perfect 10...i figured with the new year and the way my life has been going lately (falling away and out of touch from certain people) i want to start anew. so i decided to change my livejournal and leave atthecopacabana behind. i've had that livejournal for quite sometime now and i was almost at 100 entries, but i just needed some change.
so 2010. wow. crazy. i didn't really make any new years resolutions per se. i decided on what i'd like to do differently in 2010. for example, i'm going to take time to enjoy the finer things in life. i was waiting for the bus the other day to head off to work and it was snowing. now, you may think i'm crazy, but i have never noticed how beautiful snowflakes are. they just fell so softly on my mitts and my black coat and i could just see them. their different shapes and how they fell or joined with others. it was just so beautiful. so i would like, in 2010, to enjoy things like that more.
also in 2010, i would like to leave what happens at work at work. i've come into the habbit of taking it home with me and feeling frustrated and sad when i should be happy to be home and away from the idiots i have to deal with. i'll just make sure that i always have a fully charged ipod loaded with great music so i can listen to that and chill out. also i can come home and mess about on my bass. sunshine got me a bass guitar for christmas and i am so excited to play it. we are going to go out today to buy a tuner and perhaps a strap (we'll see how finances go). already i can play bowling for soup's "1985" and the used "taste of ink". and the list of songs keeps growing. another method that i have to destress myself and be happier is to work on something creative. i got some canvases for christmas so i have to think about my next painting and i also bought a scrapbook with fun paper. i would like to make a scrapbook of me and sunshine. i've kept every movie ticket, bus ticket, concert ticket, scoresheet from mini putt - basically everything, in a little hat box. i would like to put all those and pictures of us in a scrapbook. so that is a little mini project that i can work on. my mom and dad got me the software that i would need to start preliminary projects for my own business. i have to load it onto my computer and just play. i'm not sure what will happen in the future but as of now, i want to do design and this will also act as a creative release.
another goal that i have in 2010 is to get my G1 before the summer. yesterday, i took the money that i would need for the test and put it in my savings account. that is G1 money only. if i study and go in february, then i can start practicing during the summer and take my G2 around this time next year. then i'll have my license. now, where i will get a car to drive is just a bump in the road that i have to figure out but it's the principle of the matter!!! i need to get my license. becomming jammer's maid of honour is pushing me to do it. because what kind of maid of honour would i be if i couldn't pick her up in the middle of the night before the wedding and go for coffee and calm her jitters about marrying bruan (which, she has none cause they are basically married already)
i'm leaving 2009 behind. it wasn't a great year. there were bits and pieces that were awesome (like concerts and trips) but sunshine being in the hospital sucked major and my time at school was always a struggle. i look forward to 2010.
