Hello

Whoo, this is my first dip into a blogging site. (I dont' think Myspace and Deviantart blogs count) 

Well Happy New Year, folks, In about an hour or two I'm gonna be cooking osechi ryori with my mom for breakfast tomorrow. Japanese food ftw. If I'm lucky, I'll also go get to hang with my friends tonight.

This year was a strange year for me, a lot of my friends moved away, some due to graduation, others due to our crap economy. And I miss them all dearly, and still head over hells crushing on one of them. Haha. 

I started off the year with my dad being diagnosed with cancer. Which shook my whole family up. Nobody wanted to say it, but we were all thinking it, "was our dad going to die?" Going to chemo once a week, and seeing the state he was in during the procedure, we were all worried about him. And I'm sure he was scared shitless as well. 

However, in i think April, the chemo worked, and my dad was officially in Remission. Yay! He is a lot better now, and in fact lost a good measure of weight (he was kind of overweight before, so he was ok when he lost some pounds during the cancer.) 

Now to self-centered-high-school-land.

In Feburary, Valentine's day was quickly approaching, and my crush and friend, Jorge, was going to move away on Feburary 15th! I decided to make a gift for him. I recently learned how to knit. So I made him a scarf. It was simple, but it was the most i could do. I spent about two weeks strait working on it. Nonstop, whenever I could. Getting many weird looks in the process. Haha. So finally, after forth period, I walked with him to his locker, bumbled about, and gave him his gift. I wanted to run like hell, but i dropped it. Stupid me. I picked it up and handed it to him, and walked away as fast as I could. 

It turned out he wasn't moving away yet.

Jerk.

March was my birthday, but i wasn't planning on throwing a party because i knew that would be too much for my dad to be able to handle, so I talked to my mom and we decided we'd throw a party after my dad got better. (The word, 'if' was hanging around in there somewhere.) I was a little downhearted, but I was okay with it.  So the week of my birthday comes, and I get a call from my best friend, Allora. Who called and said her and her sister and grandma were gonna take me bowling for my birthday! I was happy and asked my parents if I could go. They said yes. Whoo! So they came and picked me up, we all hung around her house for a bit, and the girls had dentist appointments, so I waited around for them. We finally left for the bowling alley, and I eneded to pee so i went over to the bathroom with Allora (a girl never goes to the bathroom alone, you know.) and when i stepped out of the bathroom, SURPRISE!! all my friends were there, i screamed and jumped back, there's a video of that on youtube.. haha. My parents had planned this for me since i had told them i didn't want a party. I had a great time bowling, and afterwards we went to my friend Melanie's house for a sleepover. I had lots of fun. 

I'm not going into that much detail anymore about what i did this year, otherwise this would become incredibly lengthly. 

Anyways, I kissed Jorge, he moved away, we still keep in touch, i got sent to therapy (numbers 1-3 and 4 are unrelated.) Passed Freshman year, watched my friends graduate, watched them leave. Went to my first concert, watched my dad go into remission, saw great movies, hung around my neighborhood with my friends all summer; Stared Sophmore year; started an AP class, broke down in front of said AP class' teacher, had lots of cake, celebrated many birthdays, played rockband, had dreams, had nightmares, and all and all had lots of fun. 

Happy New Years, Oshogatsu omedetou. m(_ _)m
