But You're Still Standing.

Life is an interesting thing.
I guess I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
With everything that is going on, and with the new years.
2008 was a good year. Much better than the last few years have been.
And I'd like to say I have high hopes for 2009, but I'm afraid of jinxing it, I guess.

I didn't really accomplish my goals from last year.
Which is sad, because I didn't have very many.
But I feel like I grew up and changed for the better.
So maybe those goals don't really mean that much.
I'm only making a few goals for this year.
Ones that I feel like I can accomplish.
And hopefully I will. We'll just have to see what happens.

Today was nice. A fun New Years Eve.
Eric and I ran some errands in town.
And went to the mall. I got my skinny jeans at Pacsun.
We went out to eat at Taco Bueno.
And came home and fed.
Sheik's nose is looking a ton better.
Which is great. I was really worried about him.
And we watched Journey To The Center Of The Earth.
Which, well, it failed.
Now I'm sitting here watching TV.
Bringing in the New Years by myself, basically.
But that's alright. I don't really mind.

Tomorrow will be 2009.
I'm turning eighteen in 2009.
I'm not really ready for that.
But maybe my October I will be.
I hope we don't move.
I hope I have a good year.
And I'm glad we are going out for Chinese tomorrow.

Is this the new year? Or just another night?
Is this the new fear? Or just another fright?
Is this the new tear? Or just another desperation?
