tis the season of something.

christmas, as per usual was a bust. i mean, yeah, my immediate family like my mom, dad, grandpa and gramma know what the hell is up. they view lists i give out, research them and actually follow through on shit i actually requested. my other family, including aunt, uncle, cousins & spouses have no fucking clue. well, my aunt doesn't at least. i don't  know what the hell she was thinking by giving me stretchy, one size fits all black knit gloves i'm sure she picked up at the dollar store. WTF. if you're going to give warmies at least give something cool. like those mittens kristen stewart wore in twilight! i'd give my right arm for those, mostly because they look hella warm, but also because i covet them in this weird way i'd rather not talk about.

moving forward....

in short, i dislike family christmases with a fiery passion that cannot be explained, or reasoned away since my family drives me insane and we all don't get along. tolerate one another perhaps, but getting along is out of the fucking question. i think next year i'll spend christmas drunk? on a beach? far removed from my family? perhaps on the other side of the world? with my new yorker? i think that sounds like the greatest christmas ever. 

now that christmas and the ensuing boxing day madness has passed we find ourselves here on the cusp of a new year and i'm without resolutions and good spirit. i hated 2010 for reasons unbeknown to me. i turned twenty-two-- that was fun. well, the partying that went along with turning one year older was fun. i can't say twenty-two was any different than twenty or nineteen. twenty-one was where it was at, but i digress; such times have passed for this old horse.

what else happened in 2010... tron came out? um... i watched natalie portman masturbate, and then later on get cunnilingus'd by mila kunis? to be honest i did those this tuesday, so really... not like i spent the entire year with those on my highlight reel.

seriously, what the fuck happened in 2010 that was so awesome? NOTHING, that's what.

on the travel front i went to L.A, fell in love all over again. it was a family vacay, and probably the last that i allow myself to be snookered into. as mentioned before, we as a family unit tolerate one another. we don't actually have any fond feelings for each other. but on the falling in love with L.A thing, i guess you could say that i have this weird pull to california... one day i will live there; it will happen, of this i am certain.
i went to vegas with my ladies! lost my camera, watched a woman urinate in a public elevator (a crowded public elevator, mind you), partied where paris hilton partied, thankfully not at the same time. vegas was fun, but not the holiday that i had built it up to. it was... alright. expensive as hell and not really relaxing but it was still the only major holiday i took this year that didn't include my mother and father, and the worst case of travelers remorse.
but other than my occasional trip to the U.S,  i didn't do much.
i worked all summer at both jobs. i threw my back out twice. i went to yoga and unsuccessfully kept it up. i stopped going to the gym to the detriment of my waistline. i officially became a canadian debt statistic with my outrageous student loans. i spent a lot of money on material goods, some of which i use and most i don't. i didn't read half as many books as i wanted too, played far too many hours of lego harry potter for xbox. i didn't run enough, didn't laugh enough.

2010 was a bummer, from what i can remember. i don't really remember it being great overall. yes, there were times where it was super fun crazy bad times and we were smoke shows and it was glorious. but for the most part, it was just a year like any other with 365 days in it, twelve months and a lot of weeks. isn't it something like 48? i can't think with all this techno.  4x12 is 48 but why does that seem so few? jesus, who the fuck cares.

i don't typically make resolutions since i don't ever intend to keep them but i feel that this year is different. there are things that i want to achieve, not because it makes me a better person but because i'll feel better if i succeed in them. i'm in a funk and i can't get out of it, so in making these resolutions i plan to be proactive in getting myself out.
with that said, i can't make any promises but i'm going to do my damndest to make these resolutions stick. it's time to make headway.

1.  i will use my credit card for emergencies only-- i'm a student in debt now, not a goddamn ceo of a fortune 500 company. i can't afford my credit statements
2. on the days i'm at school, i should try to make it to the gym for at least an hour. what's the harm in running on the treadmill for a bit? so you're sweaty on the bus... so what? you have tuesday and thursday to make up for it.
3. i won't drive to school as much. as referenced in resolution 1 i can't afford my credit statements, and quite frankly 85% of those charges are the outrageous parking fees. so, fuck you and your $10 parking, mt royal. i'm takin' the bus
4. i will actually study for exams, and try on all assignments. handing in something that i'm not really pleased with since i did it at 5am that morning doesn't count. and in this doing well in school business i should mention actually attending all lectures as another stipulation of this resolution. my slack artistry knows no bounds sometimes and my laziness is unlimited in its reign. those 4 classes monday and wednesday will be the testament to my will power not to skip any

there. 4 1/2 things that i keep promising myself i'd do anyways. it's like a fail-safe system.

if i keep telling myself that, i might actually believe it. hahaha

eh, enough of this. go drink some cheap bar champagne and wish you wore a different dress!
happy new years, ya'll!

b; old enough to know better; attached.
college student of historical events, future educator. canadienne. i like to read, but i don't do it enough. i run. i like zombies. i'm obsessed with all things batman, except not batfleck. i'm a terrible video game player, but i'm getting better through attrition. i can play piano pretty good, though. the sound of city streets soothes me, but i love the silence of the forest. curious stargazer.
