Christmas and stuff
Merry Christmas Livejournal.
I had a nice holiday this year. Rob spent Christmas with my family because he has no one he's related to around here. We had a blast. Lots of laughter and bad movies, scary holiday specials, etc.
I got interesting gifts. Some of them are kind of useless but there are a few that'll be super awesome to have. Like a 2gb memory card for my new camera! Yay! I can hold fifty billion (or rather, 400) photos now. Excellent.
Lots of nice stuff from the Body Shop, for which I am very happy. Useful and pretty smelling!
Only one of my friends actually got me anything and strangely enough it was my ex boyfriend, who I'm not really talking with at the moment. Not because we had a fight or anything, I just can't be around him at this point. It makes me very uncomfortable. He got me a keyboard stand and that's awesome! I will set it up later this week. Rob also said he'd buy me dinner for my Christmas present, so that's sweet too.
My mood has been up and down but overall I am much steadier and happy that I've been in a long while. This is a good stretch and I'm reasonably confident that I'm on the path to leveling out further now. I have come to terms and dealt with what seems like a hundred waves of problems. Issues with myself, with Josh, with Brittany, with Jade and with the last six months.
I am still kind of sad and lonely but it doesn't make me crazy. I am just learning slowly to be alone. I know now that this solitude is necessary for my personal development.
Over the next year I have many plans, all of them achievable. I will be starting to take weight loss seriously. I want to weigh somewhere between 140 and 160lbs this time next year. I want to be fit and strong as a fucking ox.
I also plan on getting excellent grades in school. And learning many new skills and abilities. I am going to take courses in as many art mediums as I can. Watercolour, oil and acrylic painting. Technical drawing. Carving and sculpting. Woodworking. Photography. Anything else I can manage to find.
I am going to start Tai Chi or Aikido, depending on which works out better for me and Rob to do together.
I am going to get a little 4-12 hour/week job as a cashier or something and I'm going to learn to enjoy working.
In the summer I will drive out to Alberta. I hopefully will also go down to the US with my parents and/or Rob, Brad, and whoever else wants to come I guess! I am going to check out the University of Lethbridge.
I am excited about the next year and I know if I manage to do the things I hope for, I will feel great about myself next December. And I'll be happy! And happiness is awesome.
Here's to hope.
