rdfreakI know I don't write as frequent as I use too but that's OK cos I just don't feel like always doing it.
Christmas was awesome! Mum went to too much trouble as always! :) I got clothes, chocolate, sleeping bag, talking watch, talking keyring clock and another little musical hurdey gurdey to add to my collection.
I had A over on wednesday night. We went to see "Meet the Fockers" which was totally and utterally awesome stuff! better than Meet the Parents in my opinion.
then yesterday A left in the afo and i went to parents for tea. Then on the way back dad and I had a huuuuuge fight. I expressed illegal language for me and he was shocked, not to mention even more worked up but I can say and do what I want, the same as everyone else in this world!
Mum is being quite good to me, trying to give me lessons on remaining positive.
Today just mucked around on the Net. and in about an hour I will leave for my parents where they are having some friends over for a BBQ. so I'll see the new year in with them! Of course a few of my other little friends are off at M's but that's alright. I never want to associate myself with people who need to cause further drama by trying to get involved with other people's. .. ahem .. OK I will stop now. I don't care what people say or think about me as long as they will understand, support and love me! have got no time and energy to waste on other people any more! As said already, i know that I have done my best at being honest with people this year; can't ask for more than that, right?!
anyway, I promised this survey which I found so will do again and we shall maybe compare them to last year's (from the 24th of Dec).
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Went to TAFE, handled a semester without a DLO, stood up to a stupid pathetic discriminatory teacher, then sent her an email to hopefully think about at the end of the year. .. also becoming a stronger person, started seeing Psychologist.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
am not sure. don't think i got around to making any. and next year, I hope to try and make some which I propose to live up too.

I met heaps of great great people at Swinburn, which I will keep in touch with some of them! .. and I met a few really amazing people over the internet too who I know will be close friends.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
Don't let yaself dwell or be concerned over people who like to try and make your life miserable. If situations can't be clear to someone, and they continue to beat around the bush with you, they are not worth your time or energy. Concentrate on friends who care and accept you for who you are; faults and all (as we all on this earth have them and there's no denying that), oh also, while it's good to be open, ya can't trust everyone unfortunately, so think before you tell someone something you don't want getting around.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
dunno .. can't be bothered sitting here to think through with that one.
OK it's now 6.49 and i am going to get ready to leave for parents. was soo hot today (34C) so will be awesome to walk in the lovely summery evening. Got to pack some chippies I brought, and might take my scanner to see if I can pick up anything remotely interesting from the second floor of my parents house.
Yeah I guess anyone reading that above survey would tell me that I probably can't wait to see the back of 2004 and they are probably right. Ah, this year had some good aspects to it. Main lesson being that I can truly love people for not just their voice and intriguing personality, but for the upmost respect they can show me!!
So .. happy new year!!! goodbye 2004. sorry I couldn't treat you with more respect! May 2005 be all that myself, and everyone else reading wishes for.
