Today I am 17. I have been on this earth for 6,205 days. I have done some amazing things in that time, but I'm just going to talk about the last 365. So here are 17 things I did this year, most of it rocked, some of it didn't.
It's in no particular order, and is probably rank with grammer and spelling mistakes.
17. I learned to play guitar. Now I'm not the best at it. I love to play and it generally sounds pretty good but sometimes I can't remember which note is which, and there are a couple chords I haven't mastered. I also cannot sing and play at the same time. But I don't really care. I play for me, because I love how it sounds. I love the vibrations of it singing through me. And I love how natural it feels to hold it.
16. I was in my sisters wedding. Which was super awesome. I was able to share in her special day and through the entire thing we bonded a lot. Also, I looked rather pretty :)
15. I went in the lake during huge waves. It was freaking amazing! Usually when the lake is rough it scares me, but I just went for it. I was jumping through the water and it was soooo cool. I did it with some pretty awesome friends :)
14. I said goodbye. A lot. One of my best friends went away to Austria, and it was kinda hard to say goodbye. But I know she's having the time of her life which makes up for it. I also said goodbye to another exhange student, much sooner than expected. I said goodbye to YoCo friends, and school friends, and the normalcy of yesterday. This year has been so crazy and busy it's hard to remember the last time I just slowed down.
13. I went to Algonquin park. I was there with my fam-jam, the exchange student, and twoo good friends. We cannoed so much that week. And hiked. We hiked to look out point and I dreamed I could see the edge of the world. I was amazed by that trip, but I also saw how much the park is changing. Gone are the crazy walking trails with roots and rocks and challenge, now so much as been turned into refined gravel paths. It was kinda depressing. However I did read like 6 books : )12. I hung out in a library for like an entire morning. I just sat and read and wrote. I also talked to some wicked friends, and read Chester the Cat books :) That afternoon/evening I saw two sick plays at the Blyth theater for free : ).
11. I wrote a play. I loved it. I haven't gotten the chance to present it yet, but I hope I do in future. I really loved what I wrote and I think others will to. It speaks to people on a lot of different levels.
10. I took a class I hated and was horrible at, though somehow I managed to scrape by with a 75. Which is the lowest mark I have recieved in my high school carreer.
9. I was in a play called Aligator Tears. It was amazing. The people I met are still close to my heart. We had huge amounts of fun, and the number of inside jokes is too high to count. I also got to preform in front of people who honestly loved what I was doing.
8. I got into Rotary Youth Exchange. I survived my interview, and the huge application, and they've decided to send me to France. Which is freaking awesome.
7. I got a lead role in a play put on at the livery. The people I worked with were phonomenal and I loved every minute of it.
6. I had a small role in a different play at the livery. It was also amazing. Because my dad was lighting designer I got to do a lot of tech stuff which was pretty awesome. I also met some of the most amazing, and dedicated people I know, and some of them are younger than me.
5. I had some pretty rockin' hangout sessions. I have some really amazing friends and we have had some really really great times lately. We discovered that Clinton has few aligator themed things for sale, I can't sing and do an accent at the same time, also there is a frightning epidemic apoun us. And I forget to text people.
4. I had a blast on New Years. I hung out with Haley adn we did hot rock, fondu, and hot tub. As well as play Cranium at three in the morning. Best. New Years. Ever.
3. I'm directing the schools SEARS show. Which is hard, but great.
2. I lost my uncle. I wanted to scream and rage and cry. Meanwhile everyone around me is complaining about such stupid things. So it was hard, and it hurts, but it makes me appreciate who I have in my life.
1. I read a lot of books. I watched a lot of TV. I said deep meaningful things that were probably really cheezy. I started writing a novel. I laoughed and I loved. In short, I lived.
So I left out a lot that I did this year, these were just the first things that came to mind. Even though some bad things happened, I had an amazing year. I hope the next 365 are just as fantastic.
See you the Flip Side.
