2005
I never did an update for the end of the year. So here it is:
Not much to say about this year besides WTF. If I could look back exactly one year from now and talk to myself back then and tell all the things I've experienced and realized, I think 2005 Brandon would die. I am in no way wise man (or boy) now, I am simply just the same kid who has become more of the boy I've always wanted to be. Of course there are things in my life now that confuse me more than ever, but I have a totally different outlook on life.
Last year around this time, my life consisted of my roomates and 921 (Andy, Arjun, Kris, Nick). We all partied together and whatnot. Fast forward to now, I think the only constant from last year is Nick. My group of friends now is kind of a rewind of who I should have been hanging out with freshman year. The Bishop Moore kids have really been the best friends I could ask for. Tyler, who I always knew was like the best dude ever, has not only become one of my best friends but also my boyfriend on Facebook. My life really took a spin around the beginning of the Summer. Let me state that I really doubt many people have raged harder than us between Summer 2005 to now.
I also met a great group of girls, who live two floors above Tyler. Lauren, the Moose (Ashley), Kylene, and Jess have all been great friends. I really can't describe how much I'm glad I met Lauren. She is by far one of the best people I've ever met in my life and is an amazing friend. Nor have I met a funnier girl in my life.
Bonnie and all of her roomies have been the best. Even though I don't see Bonnie too much anymore, I still ifly her times a million. She is by far the weirdest girl I have ever met, but weird is awesome. Along with me, the weirdest boy ever, we make quite a team. Fall semester was a lot of fun for both of us (Marketing class). The hardest part of the class wasn't the material, it was our ongoing missions before/during the tests we took. Only Bonnie and I will know what I'm talking about here.
Nick and I are still gay as usual. On the 30th (or 31st?) it will be 2 years of being gay together. I love the kid to death and although he always thinks I'm mad at him or thinks he's not invited anywhere, IFLNick. We've been through so much together and I really can't imagine this college experience without him.
There are a ton of people I've lost touch with in the last year. I know that people change, but sometimes it's hard to look back on earlier times and see how much you really cared for someone and how much you really enjoyed their company and then realize they aren't in your life now for some stupid reason. There are several people I have fallen out with, but there is one in particular. I know she doesn't read my LJ, but for personal reasons, I have to put this: Brittany King, I miss you so much.
Spiritually, throughout 2005 I really blossomed into the person I've always wanted to be. Let me thank one person for this: Nelson Rith. I've come so much closer with my brother in the last year. We both have the same outlook on life and it's really beautiful. I've finally been able to fully embrace my own form of spirituality that is non religion based. It is really hard (at least for me) to accept the fact that there are so many variables in this world and that nothing is given in the afterlife. I'm not denying or embracing anything right now besides the fact that I could die today and be happy.
Love life: wow. Through July 2005 we were together, broke up, got back together, broke up again, and now we're great friends. Although we are not really an item, I still am "with" Nicole. There are no other girls in my life and whenever I'm around her I feel like everything is going to be okay. I'm an indecisive bastard and am really on the verge of giving up on anything romantic. Nicole is an amazing person and I could never have more fun with anyone. If I had to choose one woman in this world to marry and to be with for the rest of my life at this very moment, I wouldn't even hesitate saying Nicole (don't take the previous sentence too literally though).
I'm really at a place in my life where it feels everything is really coming together. Life is great and although it can be so incredibly confusing and shitty sometimes, I still wake up with a smile everyday.
