Well this is my first post of 2009!! Alot has happened since you last heard from me, so find yourself a comfortable place and get ready to read!
2008. What did it bring to me? I'd have to say that 2008 was probably the second most miserable year I had at times (next to 2007), but also one of the most, well, adventurous and exciting years I've had since 1991 (I mean, popping out of a dark tunnel and heading toward the light to find life rather than death was quite epic really, hard to beat you know!). The biggest thing of 2008 was all the mixed emotions and feeling about certain areas of my life. Mainly what DID I want? I mean sure, the BBQ Pork Noodles (#15) looked exciting and a new adventure for me, but I wanted to stick to my usual love... #6... Singapore Noodles... mmmmmmm. Hehe, ok enough fooling around, you know what I was REALLY referring to... In these respects the year was a fucking nightmare for me, with very few friends in Hawkes Bay to turn to because everyone is too fucking snobby... I had to deal with it on my own.
In 2008 I probably lost more friends than I ever have, and gained just as many. People who didn't want to know me because of something I can't help, or who decided they wanted a relationship despite that and couldn't handle it when I gave in. Yes, you know who you are! I came to see the true sides of people I had started to befriend last year, how arrogant and up themselves they could be in judging other people and putting them on a lower level. I very quickly wanted nothing to do with them, especially when rumors started arising from somewhere in their direction which caused alot of hurt for me and my newly acquired friend. (Notice I'm not naming any names?). But on the plus side I gained a few new friends whom I want to cherish for the rest of forever, and one very special friend who I wouldn't trade for anything in the world, 'cept maybe an order of #6 from Noodle Canteen :). Haha, just kidding! The school ball was a disaster. 'Nuff said.
As far as school goes, it was the last year ever. I really don't feel like I achieved anything. Most of Chemistry I slept through or made little paper cranes with little paper boats to accompany. I spent most of English playing hangman with Tarah or yelling at Jade to shut up (yes, I'm mentioning names now). Japanese... don't get me started. Who is Mr Fairley trying to kid by trying to manage two classes at once. By manage, I mean, spend 95% of our weekly hours with the year 12's and leave the year 13's to eat M&M's and throw things at each other. Lucky I could understand Lvl 3 Japanese by mid-year 12 anyway otherwise I would've struggled like the rest of the class. Even Jade who spent a year in Japan. Poor sods! (except her, she had no reason to struggle). Geography... pfft. A poor excuse of a subject. I used this time to study Russian vocabulary lists or write essays or last minute speeches for Japanese haha. Physics. Dropped it in May. Probably for a good reason. And last but certainly least, Calculus. Our teacher was pathetic. Especially the time the whole class failed. All she does is eat in front of us and txt in class and we're not allowed to! Talk about double-standards -__-. Exams in November left me feeling slightly uneasy and incredibly stressed. Results soon!
Christmas was good. Lots of over eating and drinking in small quantities (you get that when living with grandparents ^^"). I decided to boycott buying presents as I thought it was a waste of time because all Christmas has become is a commercial holiday. I'd rather buy people birthday presents because it actually means something. Or at least I thought it did -___-.
New years was great. Spent it with my wife-to-be Mandy and we watch awesome fireworks at the sound shell after spending the afternoon criticising each others choice of music while singing to BassHunter songs as that's the only common artist we both like -__-. Then we went back to hers and watched Kill Bill. Mandy is scared of blood but I made her anyway :). We had a little bit to drink then got tired and crashed on the floor. The next day Mandy had all her rallies arrive and we had heaps to eat with one of her younger rallies outside on the kiddies table ^^.
I started work as of the 5th of January working with at the same company as my Granddad. "Equipment Market" in Hastings... They make/sell/repair electric motors, gear boxes and any other equipment or piece of machinery places like packhouses or orchards would need (seeings as HB is FULL of them). I seem to have the job of doing the niggly things no one else wants to. Plus reordering and keeping track of stock in the storeroom. It means I get to drive the forklift. Gosh, If I drive a car anything like I drive a forklift, you had better watch out!! ><...
Stupid Kiwibank think they can lock me out of my internet banking account. I'll show them >< (by ringing them and politely asking them to unlock it while answering all my security questions correctly... aha, go me!).
Guess what? I turned 18 on Saturday finally! And to all the pieces of turd pie out there who didn't bother to wish me happy birthday... go suck your momma's titty mushrooms, I don't want to know you. I had fun anyway. Jenny prank called me three times, then confessed her love of my elbows by txt, then rang me for the fourth time seriously when Mandy picked up and mistook her for Tarah haha. Me, Mandy and Shane all went to Hot Chick for dinner and ate food while I txted Nicky's boyfriend to shut up and leave Mandy alone and stop pressuring her while telling MJ that she can't steal my best friend on MY BIRTHDAY because she's starting work soon. HELLO, most of us work too! Did I mention it was my birthday too?? Anyway, then we went to the Mill and they made me buy alkies so I bought shots hehe. Went back to Shane's and watched TV and drinked. Mandy was drunk. I was ever so straight. o_O
Then yesterday, shit hit the fan with Nicky. I told her what I really think and she doesn't want anything to do with me. Yet another friend disappearing over something so mindlessly petty.
I decided late 2008 (sometime between Christmas and New Years) that anyone who doesn't bother with me doesn't get any bother back. So if you want to keep knowing me, BOTHER!!
Yours Truly
Me.
