this one's a quick-for-free; i've gotta get stuff together before i leave. while my life was spiraling downward, here's a snapshot of what else was going on around me...
(in my famous tone of haughty derision and mock surprise) wow, the world was supposed to end...again. this time the people of the world turned to the mayans, who allegedly had the whole thing planned centuries ago. and wow, the world was lied to...again. didn't anybody read the bible? does the phrase "like a thief in the nite" mean anything to anyone besides me? if you don't know what that phrase means, well...you best look it up.
so, here i am, working on yet another pre-new year blawg. i just read over the one that i did exactly one year ago, and...
it's funny how much three hundred sixty-six (yes, 2012 was a leap year) days can go extremely differently from what you expect. who knows? maybe it has some sort of connection with that whole "like a thief in the nite" theory... as it turned out, 2012 was not the year i was desperately hoping it would be. it's not to say that no good things happened. in fact, a lot of great things happened over the last year.
i moved (again). moving seems to be a yearly thing for me. i think i'm just one of those people who gets uncomfortable being in one place for too long. yeah, i think i'm gonna go with that one. school was...wait, i'm talking about the good things that happened. i traveled across the country again, made a few more friends, visited some great old friends, weddings (not mine), babies (again, not mine). hell, i can't think of anything else.
to be quite honest, 2012 sucked butt overall. it wasn't because of anything overly bad happening. i think if i had to put it into one word, that word would just have to be...disappointing. things just disappointed me in 2012. trust me; i'm not being petty or childish about this one. it was truly a disappointing year, which is why i'm throwing some extra chips onto hoping that 2013 will be at least a little bit better. oh, i've got me some plans for 2013. you know i'm serious when i start treating the english language as if it's spanish...you know, with all the reflexives. silly sh*t like, "i'm gonna get me" or "you need to get you" when everything is already implied, making that extra subject marker quite extraneous and virtually worthless. it just adds emphasis. that reminds me...so many grammatical crimes were committed in 2012 that i almost had a minor stroke. in school, cece alone occupied a gigantic amount of my time.
i digress, i've decided to break down my goals in life into an intricately planned series of steps, with one step leading to the next. with my on again, off again personality, i think that's the best way to get sh*t done. that being said, the road to achieving step one will begin NOT on 1 january, but quite possibly the week after. what are these steps?
haha, that's the beauty of 2013. i have decided that it will be a year of mystery. insert "oohs" and "aahs" here. no longer will i put things out on the table (except here of course, when i feel the need to commiserate about the mundane minutia of everyday life). my goals are written down and locked away in a place so secretive, i'll probably forget where it is before february begins. i know you're now dying to know what the list is. don't worry; it's not anything out of the ordinary (not all of it). it's not a bucket list, either. that one's publishable because i've become a very boring person. as a matter of fact, be on the lookout for said bucket list later on in the 2013.
so, with the list in place, it can be said that i have some big things in store for me in the 2013 fiscal year. i'm almost excited about it, or at least i will be when the 2013 rolls around.
so to recap (because i've started yawning and if i keep on blawging i'll never get off my arse to get ready to leave and drink off what's left of 2012)... this year sucked butt, i'm keeping to myself in 2013, and all will be well.
i'm off to scrub 2012 off of me, then off to the 2013... wish me luck, lol.
