This is not the future for which I prepared. ( ::wink:: )
No, this is not a work of fiction. However, I couldn't let that one pass. :)
2009, I set out to change myself and the bits of the world to which I have immediate access. In some ways, life reared up and bitch slapped me good. In others, I gave as good as I got, if not better. This has been a year of gathering up the pieces and forging a new iteration of Laurie McCright.
I am FINALLY graduated from university, and financially independent from my parents. It feels...extremely liberating to be under the control of myself. Sometime in the past year, I have uncovered an extremely independent streak within myself.
I am incredibly excited to learn the violin, and really really hope that Brooks will let me borrow his violiiiin ::puppyface:: ;)
I'm learning to knit! YouTube is teaching me :) I wish I had a random old lady to teach me, because I feel like that would be extra-effective.
Mom has tried to throw away my magical baking apron. That is awful and shouldn't be allowed to happen ever! I intend on keeping that apron for at least another couple of decades! Preferably forever. Forever sounds good. Maybe one day my apron will be in a museum! ;) On a quasi-related note: More and more I desire to open up a small cafe/restaurant. Definitely my career choice after I get sick of doing psychology as a profession (for I will never tire of it in general, people are ALWAYS interesting).
One of my most favourite sensations ever is to walk outside on a cold winter's evening. Looking up at the clear night sky, feeling the cold wind bite into your flesh; it makes me feel so very alive. I try and keep my mind on things I love; it keeps me grateful. :)
I have three hundred dollars in my PS3 fund, and in three months FF XIII comes out. I will be incommunicado for at least three days. I am so excited, you have NO IDEA. ::bounces up and down::
I miss my UNT friends, especially Elizabeth, Courtney, and Caroline (who isn't even in Denton anymore, so I NEVER seeee herr! AND she doesn't have unlimited text messaging :*( ).
I love Christmas, even though this time of year is extremely over-commercialized. <3 :)
You can borrow the violin indefinitely... I always embarrass myself when I get it out to play. And there is no headphone jack, so that no one will know I am embarrassing myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is TOTALLY the future for which you prepared. Or at least, it is for me.
And that riff doesn't have to inspire fiction... Just the creation of SOMETHING. And I missed this past Wednesday Riff, on account of not being in the mood.
