I can't believe I made another of these...

Since I can't be bothered to come up with something great to type about at the moment, I'll post what I wrote earlier on myspace:

I thought I should maybe write something concerning 2005 and it being over. It's been okay, it's been somewhat life changing, and I'm starting to feel old.

The okay part comes in because I've gotten to know some really neat people this past year, attended a whole lot of shows (mostly during the summer), and traveled. Bad stuff happened too, like with Grandpa dying which is maybe really just more sad than bad.

As stated above, travel was definitely included in the past year. I think this is the part that most defines 2005 for me. I realized that I am capable of almost anything I really want to do. Not in the sense like "try hard and you'll succeed". But previously, I was pretty limited to where I would go, and if there was some show in some far off location, I immediately wrote it off as unattendable. Driving to California last April with Lacey really changed that for me. I don't feel so confined, and maybe feel a bit more confident in myself knowing that I'm capable of functioning without my parents or anyone of that sort, near at hand.

Okay, so until September I was only working 5 hours a day for the most part, but since then I've been working full-time hours, and it makes me feel old... and stuck. I don't know if it's a huge, bad thing right now. I always thought it would be impossible for me to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week because of the boringness factor, but I've done it. It's not so great, but it's not so bad. Most importantly, it gives me a lot of money.

I'm not going to make any new years resolutions or whatever. I just have my goals that I hope to achieve in some time period... that is hopefully not too far off.
