Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I came home from a party this morning and I wasn't the least bit exhausted, per usual. So here I am, five hours later, still up and about. I went about painting around five. My first painting of '09. It was symbolic, at least to me.

So on my dining room table sits a large piece of paper painted with a sunset // sunrise [take your pick] with the words ' Welcome to 2009 ' emblazoned on it. I took care with this painting. It looks like crap in my opinion, but that's okay. I'll deal. Art takes patience.

2008, though....So many memories. So many new friends, you know who you are, so many friends that I have always loved but have strengthened bonds with even more so. So many changes to who I am and what I stand for. And I started highschool. Wow. That felt like it was going to be chaos, but I feel more at home in the halls of my highschool than I do in my own house. But yet again, I'm hardly ever in my house anymore.

A whole year, and I haven't had one guy. My first homecoming as well, and it was fun, but no guy, even though I had asked one. I didn't even dance, really. It's okay, because I danced at Hayley at the New Year's Party. We slow danced and she said it was to make up for my lack of dancing with anybody at Homecoming. But of course, that's why I love her.

X Fest. Wow. That was horrendous. First they cancel A7X and then they cancel the show. I understand the conditions, but I refused to go to the listener appreciation party. Lineup sucked, with the exception of Shinedown. This year was also my first year at Taste of Chaos and it was a blast.

I think this next year will be good, but I suppose that's just for me to find out, no matter how tentatively I take my steps.
