Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

So, I've set up about five of these and never got around to actually writing a blog. It was going to be one of my New Year's Resolutions, but I'm bored as hell right now and its something to do.

Speaking of New Year's, I can't wait for 2011. This has been the absolute worst year of my life. It can only get better from here. The first few weeks of this year were absolutely amazing. Then, in late January, the shit hit the fan, so to speak. I still remember every single day, every word that was said, every mistake that was made. I guess I just let things get out of hand, and I forgot what was best for me. In about the middle of summer, I adopted a new way of thinking: I'll do what I want, when I want, how I want, with whoever I want. This lifestyle has only caused me to make one single mistake, with my best friend (or, then-best friend, I guess. I'm not sure.) over the summer. A few months after school started, I went back to doing what others wanted me to. Apparently, I want to be a 'people pleaser', although I suck at it. :b

This year, I've:

- almost blown up a truck with a firecracker, on accident.

- drank more Monster & Sugar-free Redbull than a person should over two lifetimes.

- had the weirdest dreams.

- snuck people over to my house and gotten caught.

- snuck people over to my house and not gotten caught.

- spent ungodly amounts of money on the most unthinkable things.

- took some pretty amazing pictures.

- wrote half a book, then ripped it up and threw it away.

- taken the best naps in Spanish next to Aaron.

- trusted the wrong people with the wrong things.

- kissed eight different guys. Woohoo..

- ran into things on a daily basis.

- cried in class, once.

- learned to drive "properly", whatever that means.

- written my first actual blog, :D

ANYWAYS.

If this whole 'being a lawyer' thing doesn't work out for me, I kinda' have a thing for interior design. I mean, I don't know if I could pull it off. But I know what I want stuff to look like. I swear I dream about living in a different house every night.

"This is all an illusion. What do you take me for? It makes no difference what I do for you. I would give you my life, but it just won’t ever be enough."

I think that's enough for today.
Now, I'm off to work. Woot, :b
