What a f’d up year!
January started off with a bang, or should a say smash? While driving home one night after class I was just minding my own business and all of the sudden a woman appears in the road, then my hood, then my windshield and then the ground. While it was incredibly startling and major not funny at the time, it has now been moved to the funny bin of my mind. It took one person to ask if her I knocked her out of her shoes to make me just loose it laughing. Why you ask? Because it was true.
Then comes February, the month Matt and I moved to my mothers house. If moving home weren’t mentally complicated enough, I had the added pleasure of moving back with my 46 year old sister who was beginning cervical cancer treatments. If you don’t know about my sister already from previous blogs, lets just say she’s quite the handful.
March…well, it was a tough month for Matty and I. It was the start of the annual battle Matt has with his hormones and heart over whether or not to end our soon to be X number of years relationship. It was obviously stronger this year due to him living with my nuking futz family. In the end, I decided not to take another fist in the face for the year and instead I stood up and joined the battle. Take a guess at who won?
After a trying start to the year and a great desire to exit my mothers house aka the “House of Ill Repute” spring brought a wishful plan to move to Austin and drop Dallas like a fresh turd out my ass. But alas, after a summer of 8 credit hours and driving back and forth to Austin for tests and a bad ass concert the plan to move there died like an unfed puppy.
The following months were filled with feuds with my sister aka “The Other Sister”. A source of fantastic writing material for that long overdue novel of my life. Even with the stress of pointless family feuds I still had classes to attend. Again after 2005′s unplanned exit from Neiman Marcus, the focus on education continued to be the main point of the year.
And I have to say I had a fairly successful year at school. I weathered 20 hours in one year while working full time. That’s quite the accomplishment I must say!
In the end I won’t say that this year was in my top 10 so far. I did have fun hanging with friends here in Dallas and in Austin. I saw more concerts than I planned on seeing and all were worth the price. I learned a lot in school and on my own. I think the main lesson I learned is that if you plan on moving home and you’re in a relationship, you better have a strong relationship and a strong mind. Another thing is to get everything you can in order before attempting to go to college. It’s so complicated and costly!
I see next year being the year I finally get my associates degree and possibly going permanent at my temp job. I haven’t set any goals for next year. I have ideas, but nothing set in stone. One for sure will be to move away from Myspace and move towards blogging on my own site. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to let you all know.
