Happy New Year to everyone! Party hard and be safe!!

I never really cared for the holidays....any of them. As a kid, it was a blast of course. But as a teen, whenever something went wrong, all the blame was on me. Now, I just pretty much stopped trying. Plus my family is somewhat broken so that will add to the dislike of the holidays. And of course the commercialization of Christmas is bad. In the past two years, I haven't bought any presents for anyone during the season because I was so poor. That just made me feel like shit because in this day and age, if you don't buy gifts for people, you are either greedy or don't care about them. Ok, I'm still broke as hell but I can actually get some gifts for people this year. I've done some shopping already.
But now that I think about it....what is the point of me even celebrating this season?? This holiday is supposed to be about Jesus Christ but I no longer believe in any religion really. If not religion, then it's time to spend with the family. I already mentioned that it's a broken home. Huh....I guess this is why I get so depressed during winter.

The snow is coming down. Don't know whether to be excited or disappointed. Yes, it looks pretty but I can't stand the cold or driving in it. So I'll just end up staying inside. Until it goes away. That will be in about 6 months. And during that time, I'll develop cabin fever.

My mom signed up for toys from Toys For Tots for my little sister and asked me to pick them up. As I stood in line waiting for my number to be called, I notice a woman who was nicely dressed. I didn't really think much of it, just that she stood out since the rest of the folks in line (including me) were kinda scrubby looking. But then, I saw her purse.....and it really pissed me off!

Yeah, not as bad as what I originally thought.

The deadline to get a refund on my enrollment deposit is Dec 1st. I've decided to withdrawal from attending school this semester and try again for Fall semester. Sucks that I couldn't find a student loan in time since financial aid backed out at the last minute. Probably have to go through the college application process again.

To spend time with someone you like, but don't picture a future with him? Is that the purpose of our lives? Find a companion to spend the rest of your life with? Sounds pretty lame if you ask me. Yet that's how our society seems to work and if you think differently, you become an outcast.

I can't find a co-signer with good credit. It's already hard enough to ask someone to be one for you. It's like asking them to take a bullet for you, in a way. Seems like I'm the only responsible one that pays on time. I don't play when it comes to money. I will be a hermit for a while, grow hair on my legs, or whatever, before I miss a payment.
I can't just let it go. All the stress and the time to fill out the college applications....writing essays. It feels like I've been waiting so long for this and this crap comes out of nowhere. A friend said that I should put school off for a year.
No. I have to fight for this, even if it doesn't turn out the way I hope it will.

Just received a letter stating that my financial aid is dramatically reduced. Instead of the aid paying the tuition in full, it will only pay several thousands. Which is not even half of the total cost. Now begins the struggle to find loans elsewhere.

That would be really cool if I get a chance to see it. This article says that the shower can be seen around 1 am, doesn't matter where you are. Just sucks for me because I live in a city and the light pollution might prevent me from seeing any meteors.

Or at least it can be if you use it incorrectly. People tend to put way too much information about themselves (*cough*) without thinking about who is able to stumble upon that info. Which is why I stay anonymous. On Blogger anyway, can't be anonymous on Facebook or Myspace....well it's easier for people to be anonymous on myspace but that's a whole other issue.
I happened to stumble upon some info that I was not supposed to know. Nor do I want to know. Just clicked on the profile and bam! Found out he has a new girlfriend....without breaking up with the old one. Ouch. Lucky for him, she doesn't use the internet. I know the old girlfriend since we work together. Now I feel evil since I don't plan on telling her. I'd tell her if she was my friend but otherwise I do not want to get involved with that.
This morning before my dad went to work he told me to write down a list of things that I need for my dorm/apartment so he and my mom can help out. That is one massive shock for me. The only thing my parents help me out with is food and shelter, don't get me wrong, I am TRULY grateful for that. I know people who's parents just threw them out once they hit 18. Everything else, I have to get myself. But I guess after touring the college on Saturday, kinda made them see what's in store for me. I won't be working the moment I get there. I have to find a job and in this economy, who knows how long that is going to take. I don't plan on asking for much, just toilet paper, pots and pans that my mom doesn't use....cleaning supplies. Everything else I'll be getting at my new favorite store:

This is group blog started by Otin and RxBambi that runs every Friday.
Things that make me feliz:
- I like receiving long messages that have TMI on voice mail or answering machine that weren't meant for me/family. It might be nosey but I'm never going to meet the caller or the person that they were trying to reach so it doesn't matter anyway.
- Definitely enjoy having Friday off from work!
- Having more money in my piggy bank than what I anticipated.

I was talking to my niece the other day, when she came to visit for the weekend, about my shoes. There is about 7 pairs of cute shoes that I have put away in my closet....some of them I've never worn once. Now, there are 2 reasons for that.
1. I'm more tom-boyish than a girly girl.

At first I was at work. Everything there was going wrong, I was losing a lot of things there including personal things which upset me. I walked into the bathroom and entered a stall and saw a garbage bag that was full of my belongings. Clothing, underwear, notebooks, photos, necklaces....
I grabbed the bag and tried to drag it out of the stall but it got caught on something (not sure what) and ripped. Somethings fell out and a favorite necklace of mine went into the toilet. That really pissed my off and I groaned as I picked up the necklace. I looked at it and threw it into the bag. Some of my co-workers both male and female started to enter the bathroom. I began to panic, I didn't want anyone to see my belongings so I grabbed everything and stuffed them in the somewhat torn bag. One co-worker saw what I was doing and handed me another garbage bag. I took the torn bag and placed it inside the new one. Carried the bag outside and threw it in a dumpster.
Then at some point, without even realizing it, I was at home, with everyone from work there...still working. I went into my room and everything changed. Instead of 2 twin beds and teal walls, there was a full sized bed with pink walls. At that moment, I went berserk and trashed the room. While I was trashing my room, I decided to look at my phone so I pulled it out of my pocket. Flipped it open and it was completely damaged, on the brink of falling apart. As I was trying to keep the phone together, I was dialing a number but it never came up right. I had to constantly re-dial the number. Getting tired of dialing the whole thing over again, I hit the CLR button and the phone fell apart in my hand and hit the ground. I was devastated but not about losing the phone, losing my contacts. Didn't have any number memorized. Then I walked towards a window and looked outside. My crush (let's call him...Leon*) and a female co-worker were talking to each other on the sidewalk. Suddenly, they both got into their cars, Leon driving off first and he female co-worker following behind him. As she turns the corner, she almost got hit by a Dr. Pepper semi truck.
Finally, my phone rang and woke me up. I thought, "Yes, my phone is ok" :P

The thought of living with 5 strangers is finally starting to make me feel a little uneasy. I already live with 4 people (parents and 2 other siblings) but that's family and it's in a home. Not sure yet but I'll probably be staying in an apartment with 4 small bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and a kitchen. That's cool that the school I'm going to attend have several apartment complexes reserved for just for students. So it's kinda like dorms but WAY better.

Umm....yeah.
Do you remember having that sex talk with your parents? I never had one. My parents figured that whatever I learned in school was good enough. I'm cool with that though. Don't really want my parents talking to me about that.
But...
Seriously, I never thought that I would ever.....EVER, give the sex talk to a child.
</sarcasm>
I was thinking about blogging every single day for a month. Not sure though because every day feels the same to me. Errands, chores, work, babysit....it's all so mundane. I don't go out every weekend, I'd go broke in an instant if I did. Nope. I've got bills to pay, too responsible to have fun.

Happy Hour Friday!!!
This is group blog started by Otin and RxBambi that runs every Friday. I've decided to participate this week.
Things that make me feliz:
-Waltzing (not literally, though it does sound fun) back into my house around 5am after a long night out with my friends.
Just like Honey by Jesus & Mary Chain
(Yes, I know this song's from 1985 but I just heard it last week so it's new to me!)

Recently, 32 new planets have been discovered. And what makes these planets so special is that they could potentially harbor Earth-like environments. Although I think that we'll never get a chance to visit them since the distance is so far, the discovery is just amazing. Really, I knew this all along :P There's no way we're alone here in this universe.
These statements kinda irk me:
"I'm pretty confident that there are Earth-like planets everywhere,"
and
"The universe must indeed be crowded with habitable worlds."

I don't know whether to love you or curse you. You were the first for me to fall in love with. But to keep this relationship going, I have to pay a big price. Seriously.

Seriously. I'd think that my silence and never trying to get a hold of you for over 2 years, make you realize that I no longer want to speak to you again.

It's tempting but I don't think that I should put myself in this situation again.

But FML moments don't happen that often (which is really good) so most likely it won't be a weekly thing. Just sporadic posts here and there. I had several good ones but I forgot them...bad memory, lol.

I'm participating in a group blog run every Thursday by Steph in the City and this week post is Google Tag. The rules for this tag is that you have to answer these 10 questions using google images.
This one is going to be somewhat difficult for me since I'm indecisive and change my mind constantly. Well, at this point in time:
1. Your Favorite beverage:
