2007 was a year of doing what I didn't think I could, of grabbing life by the horns (or balls) and trying new and scary things.
I quit school temporarily and moved home in order to pursue my dream of owning an alpaca farm.
I became bolder in my relationships, talking to guys that I normally would have been intimidated by, getting numbers, and sometimes being a bit more rash than I should have.
I decided to become a bartender, and instead of just talking about it for a while and then forgetting about it, I actually did it. I took the class, rocked it, then got not one, but TWO jobs doing it.
I got a gun, another thing that just would have been talked about before but now has become a reality. I've taken the class to get my CWP, and I'm becoming a better shot.
2008 will be a year of honing the skills I've picked up so far, becoming more comfortable with myself, and taking better care of my body and mind.
In the process of becoming less shy around guys, I've become somewhat reckless so now a balance needs to be struck between assertive and getting what I want, and protecting myself from those guys who most certainly do not have my best interests in mind.
I will learn everything I can about my gun, and become proficient in taking care of it. I'll learn the best ways to carry concealed, and continue to improve my shooting so that if the time ever comes when I need him (god forbid), he comes through for me.
I will expand my creativity and do my best to keep learning new things and trying new techniques. Hopefully I can start the master knitter's program. :D
I want to learn to cook so that I can eat better more consistently. I want to work out regularly and get my body back into a shape that I can really respect. Jacksonville has made me soft. :P
2008 will be a year of balance, growth, and self-improvement. I've said before that I need to focus more on me, and I think now I've achieved the maturity level necessary to really apply myself to that.
2010 will be the next Year of the Tiger, and I need to prepare myself. :D
Also, I went ice skating yesterday for Audrey's birthday (Happy Birthday!) and faceplanted twice. Luckily my knees took the brunt of both falls, and now they're fascinating shades of purple and red. My entire core is sore when I flex or walk or really do much of anything. I love ice skating. :D
