Oh, at first I told Charles that '08 was the worst year I ever had. But through personal events and upcoming graduation either this year or next Spring depending on the nonchalant factor for Summer school or Summer break, I think '08 was fine. Turned 21 and somehow I have more magical freedom than my mother would originally allow, which is nice. Been reading, doing art, discovering new music groups and bands I really like such as Brokencyde and Zap Mama . . . It's been a building year I suppose and I like that because I've discovered new things about myself that are interesting.
Plus I joined 2 message boards including this one as an outlet for gaming. I find my activity extremely low, but at least it helped me get rid of a good chunk of backlog from Nov to Dec that would have remained stagnant were I to still be a member of an older forum. So I haven't lost what I loved as a child, and I'm gaining new things as a woman 'n ah feel gud, dunununun nun nun.
Learned that sarcasm or cheekiness can only be attractive so long until someone just becomes gut-wrenchingly putrid, annoying and a waste of oxygen.
2009, I plan on making a family tree. We have one but it's extremely small and undeveloped. So far, it appears that my mother can trace back to her great grandfather, but on my father's side, we can trace back to my great grandmother, but not my great grandfather on my paternal side because my grandmother was the product of a forceful union of some white guy and my great grandmother ---- soooo, I want to at least trace back to my great greats, or great great greats and also add my cousins onto the family tree. I figure this project will give me a chance to be more family oriented than I normally am. Hey, it made me talk to cousins I haven't talked to in years. I know I won't be able to trace too far, given the history of slaves (etc), but I'm going to try. Then maybe take a DNA test with my mom because I'm just curious about it and I don't feel as if it would hurt.
