So, yeah, I apparently fail at memes and keeping track of life. HI! I'm not dead.
And, even better news, my dad is quite the opposite of dead. He's been home from the hospital for a couple of weeks, and he's back to normal. He even went on a day-hike on the 27th to take pictures.
Life is going pretty darn well. Yeah, 2008 didn't quite fit into my plans, but that last week or two was nice (besides the nasty cold), and this week has been too.
Among the things I got for Christmas was the one I most wanted. See, every year, mom has us make lists, and I always put one thing on there I know I won't get, but still have it there anyways. I was wrong. I wound up getting the gold tri-force DS Lite. It is so much awesomeness in a little package. :D I picked up Phoenix Wright for it, and... am not impressed. But the Japanese Coach is excellent, and I like the GBA Fire Emblem.
Band competition is coming up fast, and... I'm not sure I'm ready to go pro. We'll see.
I'm hooked on two new series, thanks to Logan and Lisa - The Dresden Files and Sookie Stackhouse, respectively. So, of course, now I'm working on getting Lisa hooked on Dresden. I don't think Logan would all that much appreciate Sookie.
I'm RPing again, and it's eating my time, but it's such a fun way to have time be eaten. I have five characters now, which is quite a lot, but... it's such fun. And they're all on one comm, which makes things easier.
And, of course, the most important thing going on with me right now - JET. I can't yet check the status of my application, but maybe soon. Yes, I know they said end of January/beginning of February, but it doesn't hurt to try checking. >.>
I will seriously try to keep better track of this this year... But we'll see how that goes. Especially since I just realized that I've still got 2008 calendars up. Whoops.
