New Year’s eve is like every other night;
there is no pause in the march of the universe,
no breathless moment of silence among created things
that the passage of another twelve months may be noted;
and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening
that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.
– Hamilton Wright Mabie

So, I’m not gonna lie. New Years Eve turned out so much better than I thought it was going to. Yesterday wasn’t the greatest day. We admitted some stuff to Jeff and let’s just say he wasn’t Mr. Compassion. But it’s alright. I really couldn’t believe we were going to spend New Years Eve not speaking, but, obviously that’s what happened. My mommy cooked some foods for me & Jeska and we ateateateateate && that was great. But we got kinda ansty, so we decided to head out. First, we went over to Tyler Hitt’s house, but those kids are way too loud on their instruments, so we decided to head down to the Watermark. For the record, me & Jeska are totally gangster and you’re lovin’ it. =] So anyway, Tony’s band was playing and they were really good. I really enjoyed listening to them. It was pretty cold sitting outside, but, whatever. My friends are the greatest. At like 11:30, Megan decided she was going out to Jonathan Johnson’s house. I was almost apprehensive about going, but we decided to anyway. That’s where I was when 2007 became 2008. At exactly 12:00, I was standing on JJ’s porch with Penguin, Justin Morgan and Jeska smoking a cigarette. It wasn’t the greatest induction to the new year, but it was certainly memorable. I’ll never forget it. Whenever the 2008 excitement was over (by like 12:07), we decided to leave. This is when I had the most fun I’ve had in like 2 months. Me, Jeska, Justin Morgan, Penguin, Brian & Matt Ballard turned up on Sassafrass Road and did fireworks! ^_^ I had SO much fun! We had fireworks wars and we lit the whole gravel road on fire, lol! It was GREAT! At like 1:45, I decided I should go home…because my Mom had been flippin’ out since 1.
I don’t really know what all to say about 2007. I feel like I should give it a round of applause for finally ending. It has probably been the worst year of my life. I’m so relieved that it has passed. But, I am in some ways kind of sad. This year is the year that will change us all. Jeska turns 18 in eight days. Jeff turns 18 in thirteen days. And I turn 18 in eight months. (Shut up, lol.) I graduate this year..and I go to college. I’m very scared about this. But oh well.
2007 taught me a whole lot of things I already knew and couple things I didn’t know. I remembered a couple of old faces and remembered the old me. I changed completely this year. I don’t remember who I was whenever the first 12:00 am came around in 2007. Ah, sighs. Here’s to faces I have seen, a carnival of those who dream. Hats off to 2007. Happy 2008. ^.-
so this is the new year.
and i don’t feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance
so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions

sometimes you just have to realize
that you can`t have it all. you can`t fix
what you`ve done. you need to move
on & try to be happy. even if it`s the
hardest thing you`ll ever have to do
The world is a better place when you smile.

so think about what you were doing at this time last year. who were your best friends, who were you going out with. think about how different life is now. like its only been a year but it feels like ten. or maybe for some of you, it feels like a couple of months.
Jeska is in DA. I miss her already.
