Happy 2006!

So I'm starting to think that saying I might be able to adopt a kitty is a bad idea. Mine is driving me nuts right now. But maybe its the lack of sleep. Or something like that.
My head hurts. I drank a little too much last night. I don't get drunk but I was a bit er... something. But the new year has officially been rung in and I can't think of a better way to have done it. I had a lot of fun. I learnt that I really like tequila. Which is cool.
So its 2006. Happy 2006 everyone! So I'm supposed to make resolutions now right? So.... this could be interesting. I don't expect to be able to keep any of these but I might as well make myself think. I"ll let you know in a week if any of them are plausible.

1. I want my driver's permit by the end of the year and I want to be able to drive. I'm learning. I went driving today and it went okay. No one went through any windshields and there weren't too many bent fenders. From what I know so far I think the hardest thing about driving will be turning, like not overestimating how far to turn or anything like that. But we'll see.
2. I'm going to see and talk to friends I"ve drifted away from. That includes calling Natalie, Crystal, Kevin, Corey, Vanessa, Sam, Diana, and Jon and anyone else I may have forgotten to list.
3. Yep. I know this is what I say every year. Here it comes. Brace yourself. I'm gonna get it shape. No more of this passing out after walking up a flight of stairs or being tired at 2 in the afternoon. I'm getting in shape no matter what it takes. (I can laugh at this idea later)
4. I'm gonna finish this semester of school with at least a 3.7 gpa. That's nothing. I can do that. It'll just require a bit of work and a lack of procrastination.
5. I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm gonna be sure to have fun. I'm not gonna have a problem with going out and having fun. I'm allowed. And I will.
6. I'm going to do things because I want to. Not because someone else tells me to or because someone else guilts me into doing it. This year is for me and of me. I'm in charge this year.
7. My house will be clean. And my cat will be brushed and my bathroom will not smell from cat litter.
8. I will put all I am capable of into my job. I will be the best features editor this newspaper has ever seen. People will look forward to reading my articles.
9. I'm gonna love and not worry bout who's gonna hate me for it. Or who's gonna be angry. I'm going to love guilt free and without reservation. I'm not gonna hold back for fear of being vulnerable or letting go.
10. I'm gonna be alive when December 31st 2006 comes along. I made a promise that I'd be someone's for the year. I'm booked for the year. I can't go anywhere. Not just yet. I realize everyday won't be great and I won't always be happy and I won't never cry but it'll be okay.

My cat is sprawled across the kitchen table... and I don't give a damn. I'm not getting up again... it would probably be the 75th time in the last hour.... to get her down. I'll live and so will the table.
I wish you all the happiest of years this year. I pray you will be blessed in health, finances, family and love. I pray that you will take the time to love yourself this year, and to enjoy the company of loved ones. I hope that this year will not pass without you taking something on into the next, something of value to guide you and bring you hope and peace in the years to come.
Happy New Year Everyone!!
