2009 Was Stupid.

I am very eager to start 2010.  The minute it turned into 2009, I knew it was already going to be bad. I was stuck somewhere in Gladstone, OR trying to find some party in a car packed with a bunch of girls. I turned to $Cruz and said, "Great, we're spending New Year's eve in Joey Gladstone, Oregon. This is going to suck..."

This past year has sucked so much...let's talk about it. 

• Moved into a new apartment where murder happened across the hall. Remember that?
• Moved three times between mid-2008 until mid-2009
• Caught strep throat--twice.
• Had my wisdom teeth taken out
• Caught an infection in my mouth because of it.
• Had surgery to remove the infection because it wouldn't get better.
• Took crazy strong antibiotics that I ended up being severely allergic to and went to the ER
• Crazy strong antibiotics ended up killing "good bacteria" in my body and ended up sick.
• Prescribed other antibiotics to make it better.
• Ended up fixing my problem in Mexico with alternative methods and lots of tea drinking. 
• All of this because of my wisdom teeth and my awesome immune system. 
• Graduated with a B.A. and later found out it was useless.
• People sucking in general and finding out their malicious intentions. 
• The ECONOMY RUINED EVERYTHING.
• Not blogging as much as I would have liked :( 

But not everything was ALL bad. Here are some good parts...

• Had a bomb birthday party and EVERYONE had fun. :)
• Got good grades because I am esssmar and muy intelligente 
• MEXICO MAGICO trip of 2009! Best graduation gift ever. 
• Late-night trips to Denny's or Shari's with $Cruz
• Car dance-parties to de-stress and forget about homework and life
• I found out who my real friends were. That was nice. 
• But most importantly, I learned that I am a determined person and I can do anything. Death and funerals are my worst fear (not my own mortality, having to witness others), so when I lived next door to a murder scene, I mustered up the courage to just deal with it. I mentally blocked everything out every time I would go in and out of my apartment. I don't know how, but I did. And I'm glad. 

Going through 2009 was like walking through hellfire. This has been by far, the worst year of my life. I didn't divulge much because I don't like to put people on blast and you don't know me like that. Buy me a lobster dinner first and a few drinks, then we'll see if I'll talk more...
