New years eve

Well here we are, with only hours seperating us from 2007 and 2008.Now before i head off to bed to rest up before celebrations(at this point im not sure there will be any), i thought i'd recap the year from my perspective, to the best of my memory.I've thought of a couple ways to do this, as i think it's not going to be an easy thing to write.To make sure i fit the most i can in and so it's in an order, rather than just having bits and pieces flying everywhere, i've decided to go by months.It will probably lag on, but it gives me a structure, which will keep me from flick back and forth through time, ie. talking about things that happened in september and then talking about febuary, then heading back to september.

january.
This was definetly one of my faviourate time periods.School holidays obviousaly the main reason.I spent most of my days either hanging out with all my guys friends and the only time that i really did any socializing with females, was with my current girlfriend at the time.I really liked that because, IN MY OPIONION, i find guys are so much easier to get along with and i tend to have more fun with them(lololol that makes me sound kinda gay).When i wasn't socilizing, i was at home chillling and bumming aorund with movies,video games and the cricket, which was some of the best sport i've watched all year.I got to complete so many video games and watch so many movies that i had been wanting to see.basically, i love school holidays.

Febuary
First thing that comes to mind is the start of VCE.I was kind of looking foward to it before it started.Main reason for that was, i figured that because i had choice over my subjects i'd be learning about things i was intrested in and wanted to learn.I was wrong and soon came to the realisation, that i had fucked my subject choices up greatly.Health was not what i was expecting, General maths was so easy to the point where it was a joke, My biology teacher was a complete fucking dumb shit(Note:biology was the subject i was most looking foward to, as it was so fasinating the year before and i had straight A's for it.) and accounting was a complete waste of time and had very limited academic use for me.English i was forced into by law and my teacher was a sexist bitch, who forced her opinion on everyone.The only subject i enjoyed, until i picked up chemistry, was legal studies.The other thought that came to mind, was the immense excitemnt that me,DD and Marty had, as the days drew ever closer to the realese of Final Fantasy 12.Other memories i had was the really bad sun burn i got at the cricket, Having my Nan look after us whilst my parents were away, finishing Resident Evil 4(strange that thats stuck in my head) and also some realtionship dramas that arose with VCE.

March
This is a month when my memory is limited.There is one thing in particular that i don't know if i want to talk about, just out of respect for the other person involved and also because it's kind of personal.The only problem with that, is it was the only significant thing that happened in that month.Basically i decided the "relationship drama" mentioned above was not worth it and I ended the problem, rather than keep trying to solve it.But that ended up solving the problem, which made life seem even more confusing to me.Also i think this was when i realised year 11 was yet another bludge year(note:i did no 3+4 units).This is also the time when i came to hate my ex-faviourate subject biology because my teacher was a fucking idiot, which was really disapointing for me.

April
First school holidays for year 11.I remember 3 days clearly.Movie day at erics where he put a shit Bruce lee movie on and shoved the remote in his pants, so we had no choice but to watch it.Seeing 300 at forest hill and then playing rugby in the empty car park and a day were i spent 50% of the day on the train, i went from marty's house to the MCG and then back home.Its strange that little things like that stay in your memory so clearly.I'm trying to remember easter, because thats the only big event in that month but i think i did nothing, not even a family event, Easter was just a another day of the week for me.

May
The sexiest talk we got, from 2 man hating dikes in health is the 1st thing i remember.Probably because it made me realise that women think men are hormone driven sex fiends.Now it's a scientific fact that men are naturally that way, but the thing that pissed me off, was that the girls in our class believed men purly wanted sex and weren't intrested in love at all, which i think most guys will agree is an unfair generaliastion.I also had more relevaltions during that talk about certain people in our class, but i won't say anything just incase it causes trouble.Nothing else comes to mind although i can't say it was a favourite month.

June
lots of shit went down this month.I broke up a 10 month long relationship because problems once again arose in May and still continued in June.This started my brake from women and i must say after 2 years of practically non-stop girl drama, it felt pretty good.First of exams happened, results were good except for accounting( about 60% i think).School holidays aswell, i don't really like the winter school holidays though and i spent the entire second week staying home in bed and play dragon quest which i brought during those holidays(that wasn't planned and i regret wasting that entire second week).I also dropped Health for chemistry which wasn't the easiest swap.I grew a strong resentment for some people, who i was once very good friends with, which i didn't enjoy but i couldn't help feeling that way.

July
School was back and about 3 weeks in, i gave up for the rest of the year, in all subjects except Chemistry.Also we started kicking the footy or playing basketball every lunch, that may seem trivial, but it was such a great fucking change because lunch and recess sucked even more than usual this year.I can't think of anything else that happened.

August
My birthday month, along with fitton and DD.I did nothing celebration wise for my b-day, but i got a lot of money and went on several shopping sprees.I also got in a bit of trouble(suspened), when Mr. Fitz tried punishing me and a group of other for not spending our free period in a library, which, through out the year we were cleary not welcome in by those raggy librarians.I do not regret my minor protest in anyway, because i even no several of my teachers who don't like the way the library is run and those who run it.My social life started booming and contiuned to for the rest of the year, after a lads night and city trip for DD's birthday.No idea why that triggered it, but i also suspect that given up in school during July contributed immensly.

September
Mental block for this month.WTF happened?jeez i can't remember.I no another school holidays started and it was my favioourate for the year(not including these summer school holidays), I was really busy, but i can't remember what with... .Alan came down, we went to lan once,we had a 2 nighter at marty's, a day at the school playing Basketball, Seeing "Superbad" and thats all my brain can remember.Only thing is half of that list happened late september and the other early October.What happened from the 1st-20th of septemebr?, school was on but i can't anything about it.God it feels like that month didn't happen.

October
As i already said, the last half of school holidays happened.I started drinking again this month, after I gave it up for most of the year for the benefit of my VCE.Todd's party was the highlight, it was so much fun, even though i spent most the night sober.I also got a bit of an idea of what having an std feels like after Fittons little joke, can't say it's an enjoyable feeling, thankfully i don't, it turns out fittons just a cunt(jks) and im clean, I ain't no filthy leaper bitch! (nickname i gave to a person, that fitton made me believe had given me an sti).School was at it's most enjoyable(note:that doesn't meen it was enjoyable, just not as bad as usual), as subjects were coming to an end and it was really just passing time away until the end of year 11.

November
Exams again, i didn't put much effort in at all and i got shit results for it(except for general maths 91%!!!but thats not exactly hard, because as i said above general maths is a joke).The end of year 11!fuck it felt soooooo good.The school holidays kicked off immediatly as well.The night of our last exam day me,DD,fitton and i think some one else, went to the school to play basketball.We talked about how great the summer ahead was going to be(that is a great and well deserved feeling, after 10 months of school).Man that night feels like ages ago which makes me realise how long we've had off school.

December
I've already posted just about everything that happened this month.I'll just say, my faviourate part of the year.These have been the most enjoyable school holidays in my opinion, i've done heaps of shit, most of my days i've been spending with friends.On the days were i didn't go out, i got to enjoy having the house to myself and indulging in all my faviorite passtimes that had been cut down on during the year because of school.Also, i said i'd been spending time with friends and what makes that better is i don't have to see people that shit me.

I can't sum up this year as either good or bad, even though that was my main goal for this post.I supose what i have learned, by writing this, is that a year is a long period of time, it changes through good,bad and mediocre and is impossible to sum up with a single word, which sucks.I supose by looking at what i wrote, i'd say the year started off on a high, then went to a low through febuary-June, Life was good during August, July and septembers neither good nor bad and from october-now it's been nothing but great.

My new years eve plans are in serious doubt, which isnt good as i'm half n hour into new years eve already.I've been given/taken up last minute organising duties along with a few others, which i regret.There is 1 party i've heard of that i would want to go to, but i'm(along with all other people who i am to be spending new years eve with) don't now the host and have no idea if were going to be allowed in.I think i can say now that new years is going to suck.At this point, aslong as i have some of my good friends around and i get atleast tipsy, then i'll be happy.But i swear if one person blames me if things turn out shit, i'm going to go off, because it's entirly out of my control and i can just bet that the person who complains gave no or offered to give no assistence.I really don't want to send out 2007 in the mood i am now, I just want to relax,have fun and get drunk.

I'm going to sleep or else my mood will get worse and i really don't want that on my favourite day of the year, so goodnight and enjoy 2008.

WOW i can't believe you did it by month! There's no way i can remember ANYTHING that way!!! God damn...

Anyways, you're right about not being able to sum up the year with a single word...too much happens, no matter how much you'd like things not to change...but this year was great for me because all the changes were good.

Awesome post Shauno, and i admit it's hard commenting on huge posts but i think i did my best haha.
