2009 is the new black
New Year, same old lazy attitude. I meant to post yesterday for the obligatory, "Happy Fucking Birthday to me," entry, but somewhere between sleeping and more sleeping I didn't. That sums up my birthday pretty well, though. I slept. Then I woke up to eat, and then I slept some more.
Sometimes I feel like life is passing me by, but I never managed to get tickets to catch the train. So I'm stuck here at the station, watching friends and people I know board and ride off to their destinations. At least the magazines they keep on the benches are stimulating.
Overall, my holidays were decent. I spent a lot of it taking care of Sarah who had four impacted wisdom teeth pulled out. When I had all four of mine surgically removed, I was out of commission for roughly... a day. And I think I bruised slightly. I didn't realise how lucky and out of the ordinary that was until Sarah bitched for nearly a week straight about how much her mouth hurt.
This has been the mildest winter ever. I can't even remember a day it dropped below 50. Rubbish, I say. We have the rest of January and maybe February before it starts to heat up again. I'd like to use my jacket at least once this season.
So, this past New Year was sort of a big deal for me. I didn't make a resolution, because I've only ever managed to keep one. But I've kept that one for 10 years now. Yes, when I was two days away from turning 13, I swore off eating meat forever. I'm 23 now, and I still haven't touched it. I've never been tempted to go back, and I don't regret it ever. To be fair, it wasn't much of a sacrifice. I was never a big meat eater- most of it I didn't like the taste of. It was those times that I'd eat the mysterious meat they call chicken at McDonald's, or devouring a pepperoni pizza that made me decide I didn't want or need it any more. So hooray for me and sticking to my guns, I guess.
As always, it'll be a while before I make another entry. But I am still watching every single person on my friends' list. I check my friends' page at least once a day, so unless you've developed a deep grudge towards me, I ask you not remove me from your own f-lists.
It's late, but I hope everyone had a great holiday. I think we can all look forward to the new year because of our new president. Goooobama!
