• 1/31/07 (8:36 AM): I finally did it. I joined mySpace. I'm not happy about it thought. Don't really expect me to use it all that often though, I have this site! If you want to send me an add, I'm at basie99.

• 1/29/07 (8:46 AM): I cannot move my body. I'm in pain in all areas, but it is self induced pain. Saturday I had a hockey game, which I played great in (coach even said so in his speeches after the game in the locker room), but I did break my stick... on my pelvis! Picture this: I'm at the boards (wall, for you non hockey people) and I was fighting for the puck. Then, someone came up behind me and checked me... forcing my stick into the wall and spearing me in the gut (very close to my private area). Can I just say that this was VERY painful?? Not to mention I broke my stick... now I have to buy a new one. After the game we celebrated my friend Kate's birthday! Yesterday I finally crossed off something off my life list... that's right folks, I went snowboarding! It was so much fun and I loved it. However, my body is crying now. My ass and my pelvis are bruised, so lets just say I slept on my sides last night! I can't wait to go back (but will wait until I heal a bit).

• 1/5/07 (9:02 PM): I got my website done for the job search! Feedback is welcome (especially on the text, I no writer). See it here. I will probably put up a flash animation for the homepage, then I have to forward my domain to it. Then, let the searching being. I'm uber bored. Sigh.

• 1/4/07 (12:08 AM): Can we talk about how many songs out there are about heartache? Is that just because I'm feeling heartache, or is it just statistically true that like 75% of the songs are about that? One song I love, love, love is the song "Pain" by Three Days Grace: "Pain, without love; Pain, I can't get enough; Pain, I like it rough; 'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all." It speaks to me. Actually, the whole album is pretty good.

• 1/4/07 (8:50 AM): So I've been up for an hour and I can't seem to shake the sadness of the day. Some mornings I just wake up from my dreams and feel sad. I hate that feeling, it follows me all day. Things I can't understand will always trouble me. That's why I dream about it. But, things are supposed to be looking up, according to my Angel from my spiritual reading. I'm supposed to find a job, move away and meet my mate. Lets just hope this does come true, because I'm so sick of getting my hopes up and having them be crushed. I really need to go dancing or to a local metal/rock concert. I feel the need for body movement. I did make Lydia go ice skating with me yesterday, that helped. But I want the kind of passionate body movements that you only get from some loud ass music. Drinking would help too! At least I have new fun music that I downloaded to listen to!

  This was a project where we had to paint the same object 9 times using different styles. I combined them all over the place, but it was a lot of fun. This project was fun to experiment. I like experimenting, with everything!

  

• 1/1/07 (10:44 PM): Finally, the year is over. I've got some very large changes coming up. Hopefully they will all be for the best. It was a very emotionally tough year and a year that I learned a great deal about life and about myself. Last night I had a great time with my closest friends, of course I played hostess. Can we talk about how many leftovers I have? I was trying to send people with the food, but they wouldn't take it. Mary however was all too pleased to clear out a good majority of the Taco roll-ups from the fridge. With all the food I forgot to put them out. It's rumored that she took one home for Ween too. Thanks for helping Mare! Come back and visit and help me eat, it doesn't help my resolutions. Speaking of resolutions, what are mine... lets see...

  • Find A Job - This one is most important of them all. The process is started and the wheels are in motion.
  • Lose 25 more pounds or another pant size (I'll take either) - this will be difficult. The first 25 were difficult, but recently very rewarding.
  • Paint - I got the materials and know how, now I just need to devote time to do it
  • Read at least 5 books - I'm not sure I made it through more than 2 books this year, that is really not impressive. Why is it I can't find the time to do it? I love doing it. 5 is less than I'd like, but lets keep our goals reachable. That's a book ever two months (taking November and December out of the mix, holidays, too much to do).

  So those are my resolutions... which according to Lydia start on the second. I think this is wise. I spent my new years on the couch relaxing, which isn't a bad way to start the year. I also made some sort of rice and black eye peas. This is supposed to bring me good fortune. Let's hope it works, I need some these days! Happy New Year all.
