Bring it on. I am all set and prepared for this year. I think it's going to be a good one.
Resolution: enjoy myself. And it's well under way. Despite the lack of sleep last night, and high alcohol consumption, I haven't felt the greatest today, but I've enjoyed it all the same.
I thought it was going to be a quiet night, until I ended up at my friend's bach with his older brother and their uncle giving me my first experience of a tequila lay back. I know at least one person won't know what that is, so, MC, that is when you lay down on a bench, have a shot of tequila poured into your mouth from each side, then swallow as you stand up. I was pleased with my effort here, as I took mine simultaneously with my friend, and I took it way better than he did.
So after that and a few other shots (which I took standing upright) I was well on the way to drunk. Friend's family love me, which is nice. Made a good start to the year.
I'm bringing good things into the new year, and hope to keep it that way. Good friends, my family, and even my guy, now officially mine.
Here's to 2010 - let's make it great.

Life In Christmas
It had to be done, didn't it? A Christmas blog post. So here we go. It's been a pleasant day, with family, and some friends. Gifts were exchanged, food was eaten, jokes were told, company was enjoyed. It's what Christmas is about to me. Spending time together, and appreciating the people around us, so overall it's been a successful day. I already had my big present, my phone, so it was just stocking fillers and my secret santa, which was great. I love what I got. The whole secret santa was so fun. I am sure doing it again next year. That's all there is to say about Christmas really. I have the evening to enjoy now, possibly watching a movie or playing a game with the olds.
Today I've also done a lot of texting. All the "merry christmas" texts this morning, but then, I've been texting my guy, all day long. Ok, ok, he's not officially mine, but it's close enough. We went driving around looking at christmas lights on wednesday night. It was fun. We ended up on the lookout at Bluff Hill, watching a cruise ship leave. We had a really nice time. I get to see him again tomorrow, yet again, going to the river. Should be fun. I look forward to it.
Merry Christmas to one and all. :)

Life In Interest
I was sorely tempted to purposefully neglect the darling blog til Christmas day, for a fair reason. This is post number 50. Happy 50th post, blog. Now, reason I am not going to coincide 50th post with Christmas day... It's been quite a weekend. On friday I finally conceded to spending some time with a particular guy who I met at a party. Since then he has been texting me, and trying to arrange to hang out. On friday, after a morning helping round the garden at home, I grabbed a friend and allowed my guy to pick us up and take us the Maraetotara falls. The water was cold, but we had fun. We then moved on to the river. The water was lovely. The company was lovely. It was fabulous. The final place to go was ocean spa, where epic water fights ensued, and much more fun was had. Half the reason I put off seeing him for so long was the fear of awkwardensss. Only having met him once, and not knowing his friends, I wasn't so sure it'd be that good. But it was that good. I got on really well with his friends. Really, the point this is coming to, is by the time friday was out I'd found a good sober opinion of this guy, and he's good. I think this could go somewhere, but I don't mind if it doesn't. I'm just utterly happy in my own little giggly world, where I am finally interested in someone who seems pretty interested in me. I've gone since the last relationship not being interested in anyone that liked me, so this feels nice. It all sounds pretty lame, I know, but I'm happy for now.
I did mention that I'd elaborate on the ACM thing, but really right now I don't want those insanely annoying thoughts cluttering my happy wee head. =]

Life In Nightly Brawls
So, I neglected the blog so much that someone took me up on it. I am sorry, ma'am. Here is the promised blog post.
Honestly, last week was very busy. Each night I had something on. Saturday party. Fair enough. It didn't shake my mood how I first hoped it would, but as the night drew on I did cheer up. Sunday there was rehearsal. Unreliable ride made us late, but none the less, we got plenty done. Monday was rehearsing again, finally on stage at the theatre. Tuesday I got all active and mum, dad and I cycled, then dad and I swam. It was good. The evening came more rehearsing. Intense rehearsing, before the first performance. It went fairly well, though could have been better, and we proved that on night two. Wednesday was a kick arse performance. Acting is always so worth it in the end. The buzz of a great performance is one of the best things.
Leaving my own performing behind, thursday night I shifted to the audience. I went to see one night only with Future Prospect. They are my school's all male choir, and they really are great performers. They mostly do comedy things with the songs they choose, such as Rubby Ducky, and It's Raining Men. I kept up the fast pace life on friday night, joining my parents at the annual christmas party their friends hold. It lived up to the expectations - too much food, old people getting merry, and a great night overall.
Saturday again, and a break from partying. A quiet night with friends, BBQing. It made a pleasant change and was a relaxing night. Mostly it was good to see a few people that I haven't seen much since school finished, particularly having a good catch up with MM.
On sunday the excessive amounts of food continued with another BBQ, as a friend who lives part time in england was back here so catching up was required. CM had already arranged to visit me that day, so he joined the crowd, got his butt kicked at pool, the usual shennanigans.
I must admit yesterday and today have been unproductive. Other exciting things to mention, must include that Christmas is fast approaching. The only shopping I've completed is for my secret santa, as that needed to be posted overseas. I still need to buy for my family, so hopefully can organise a shopping trip with a friend asap, as I only have ten days to go.
There you go, MC, an update, though rather uninteresting as my busy schedule leaves little time for deep thought, though come to think about it, I'm full of thought right now, what with ACM being so ridiculously "in love" with me and pissing me off constantly, but we'll leave that for another post, as no doubt he will keep it up.

Life In Partying
Oh, blog, how I have neglected thee. We have so much to say, but with so little worth. I'm just wondering when I can relax. I'm trying now. I want to let it all go, but so much is on my mind. School is all done with for the year, yet I'm feeling new stresses.
I took the photos. I did some earring photos, and had some fun editing them. And since then I did some photos of the first cherries we bought this season, before I ate them.
I did the exam. I felt good about it. It was the last important one, and it actually went well. At least I think I did, but results time will only tell. That's a long wait, so I'll forget it for now. Classics wasn't so bad either. I knew I was going to fail that all along, so I just had a little fun talking about Cyclops thinking Odysseus and his men were a tasty snack. Got a few jokes in. Laughed my way through one of three papers before getting swiftly out of there.
Wednesday was meant to be for relaxing, but I actually ended up going for a 20km cycle in the morning and having an active afternoon too. Although not my plan, it was good. On thursday I did as planned and went shopping with mum and then to habyt, but I also added meeting friends early in the village for a swim. I got lots of good things shopping, including a new phone. I'm sure glad to not be confusing myself over what the texts say behind that black splodge anymore.
I hardly know what I did on friday, other than texting people and cooking. Saturday I worked. All average there. It was one of my work mate's last days at work, which is kinda sad, since she was fun to work with. I escaped and took Max home with me so I could get changed and go straight back to town with him for drinks. Our quiet drinks turned into heading a couple of streets over to a party. The party was great. I was glad for the stress release. You have to let loose sometimes, right? And I feel I need that so much right now. Everything's coming at me. I'm stuck in the middle with nowhere to hide. So instead I'll run to the middle of it and show them I know how to party.
On sunday it was unbelievably hot. Well, it was believable. It was amazing. I was on top of the world, so to speak. We had our hangover kebabs and we spent the day under a sprinkler. Like dancing in the rain. Like magic. There. It's not all bad. It's good. It's great.
Monday classics, been there, done that. On tuesday I think all I did was make plans for wednesday, when I met friends, had lunch, hung around a lot, had a lot of fun, then stayed at Andrea's, with her and Kyla. We watched movies, then talked lots, then slept. On sunday morning I made us pancakes for breakfast. It was a tasty morning. We ate pancakes and played singstar. It rained. And rained. Then stopped and got hot and we had a spa. Then it rained. And rained some more. It was torrential. A curtain of water right across the hills. We watched another movie, then caught sight of the time. I went home, worn out by their hyper personalities, and did sweet nothing.
Despite being worn out by those two, I returned to their company after signing out of school on thursday. Officially not year 12 anymore. But, after sign out, the drama began. It's so complicated. All the wrong things for all the wrong reasons, and we're all going to crash and burn. But we'll do it in style. We'll do it partying, as always.
So, Kyla and I met Andrea in Haveock, then certain male (CM) met us. We got some lunch, then went to Kyla's to watch a movie. CM likes me. So does another certain male (ACM). ACM would be unhappy to know I was with CM, so I didn't tell him to start with, but had to see him that night. Between movie and seeing ACM a big thing came out. The main issue here. That I won't talk about here. ACM needs to get his act together, and I think when I saw him today I pursuaded him of that. It looks better, but I'm still stressed. So, I'm doing that smart thing again, and throwing myself into a party, where both CM and ACM will be, tomorrow night. Do it in style. Fuck it up right. Let's go.
